We designed an experimental AI tool to predict which COVID-19 patients are going to get the sickest

COVID-19 doesn't create cookie cutter infections. Some people have extremely mild cases while others find themselves fighting for their lives. Clinicians are working with limited resources against a disease that is very hard to predict. Knowing which patients are most likely to develop severe cases could help guide clinicians during this pandemic. We are two researchers at New York University that study predictive analytics and infectious diseases.
