How AI can help shield frontline health workers

Mary Tolan, co-founder and managing partner at Chicago Pacific Founders, explains how healthcare providers can apply AI's diagnostic and logistical capabilities to create a protective buffer between emergency medical providers and COVID-19 patients. We are living through a near-unprecedented crisis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers have emerged as frontline heroes, working overtime to protect our communities from the spread of novel Coronavirus. But they aren't immune to the anxious, uncertain atmosphere the pandemic has fostered nor, indeed, the Coronavirus itself. We need to protect the first responders and hospital staff who put their wellbeing on the line to support their communities during a crisis.
