Doctors in China Are Using AI to Screen COVID-19 Patients

Doctors in China have been given a new powerful tool to help them quickly diagnose potential coronavirus sufferers. Called inferVISION, this AI-based software can quickly highlight potential problem cases in record time. A team of physicians in Wuhan, China, at the Zhongnan Hospital are using GPU-accelerated software to detect the visual signs of COVID-19. This AI-based software relies on NVIDIA GPUs for both training and inference and is alleviated the pressure on overworked staff to screen patients for the virus. The software is greatly helping medical staff to prioritize those who are likely to have contracted the virus. The software has been developed by a Beijing-based startup called inferVISION.
