AI Can Help Us Fight Infectious Diseases In A More Effective Way

This research aims to help scientists develop a better understanding of COVID-19. They will use the data to understand how fast the virus is spreading in specific areas, identify high risk areas in the country, and to identify who is most at risk by better understanding symptoms linked to health conditions. The app gives researchers an opportunity see how symptoms evolve over time in different risk groups and to find patterns to who gets a mild disease. This information will be very important if there is second wave of the virus late this year or next year. The app has launched in the UK and 1.3 million people are already logging their symptoms.
