Australian-designed artificial intelligence set to aid diagnosis of coronavirus

#artificialintelligence

Hospital staff around the world will be trained to identify people who have coronavirus using an Australian-developed artificial intelligence diagnosis tool. The technology, created by University of Sydney-affiliated start-up DetectED-X, was originally developed to improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection. But it has been quickly modified to detect COVID-19 using lung CT scans of patients from Italy and China. CEO and medical radiation expert Patrick Brennan said the technology would allow people interpreting lung scans to have each diagnosis reviewed for accuracy in real time. The computer can check the scan and the diagnosis to see if the reviewer has made a mistake.
