Facebook claims its AI can predict four if a coronavirus patient's condition will deteriorate

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

Facebook claims to have designed software capable of predicting if a coronavirus patient's health will deteriorate or will need oxygen just by scanning their chest X-rays. Working with New York University (NYU), the social media firm says the system can calculate such developments four days. Together they have built three machine-learning models to assist doctors better prepare as cases around the world continue to rise. One model is designed to predict deterioration using a single chest X-ray, another does the same but through a series of X-rays and the third uses an X-ray to determine if and how much supplemental oxygen a patient may need.
