Henry Lai, UW research professor of bioengineering, says the malaria parasite Plasmodium appears to lose vigor and can die when exposed to oscillating magnetic fields, which Lai thinks may cause tiny iron-containing particles inside the parasite to move in ways that damage the organism.
“If further studies confirm our findings and their application in animals and people, this would be an inexpensive and simple way to treat a disease that affects 500 million people every year, almost all in third-world countries,” Lai said. According to the World Health Organization, as many as 2.7 million people die of malaria every year. Approximately 1 million of those are children.

The source you cite for the results of using this (really far more relevant than the pics) is a blog entry with a first hand account which claims 100pc success rate, from 4 years ago. So they've certainly taken that disinterest trend and run with it.
Meanwhile in the actual world, what issue is receiving more financial support and development than fighting Malaria? I see university research breakthroughs every few months. I see the most well known philanthropist dedicating his wealth and attention to this as a priority.
“An efficacy of only one-third is probably too low to be useful clinically,” says Tim Peto, a researcher in tropical diseases and clinical medicine at the University of Oxford, UK. He adds that even this headline figure is an overestimate, because the vaccine's efficacy seems to wane over time.“A better way of summarizing the data is that the vaccine has 50% efficacy in the first 3–4 months but appears to stop working after about 6 months,“ he says.

last "breakthrough" involved spending $200 million on a malaria vaccine.tests showed it worked for about 1/3 of people and it lasted about.....well read it yourself.

Still better than the 0% efficacy of the contraption in your OP.

A non chemical solution to illness, nice.
Thats some thinking outside the box nice to see when,
Everything is drug based for the most part in research unless its cancer.

That may be because like myself many people don't believe the machine works.
If it worked it would be on the market in areas hard hit by malaria no amount of pharma interference could stop it. I do have great interest in malaria treatments, vaccines, or cures because I spend vast amounts of time in regions of the world where it is a danger. I have already had Dengue Fever and from what I understand it is very similar so believe me malaria is a concern because you remember that kind of sickness.
I know this is a conspiracy site and the age old adage is such things are being kept from us but because it is mechanical in nature a few successful working demonstrations in hard hit areas would have inspired a plethora of like devices in every surrounding region. So because I know human ingenuity and the fact people from those hard areas wouldn't take %$# from any pharma corp I will have to call the inventors claims bunk.
