Coronavirus testing: Artificial intelligence can now see and hear COVID-19 in your lungs

#artificialintelligence

New Delhi: Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, health organisations such as the WHO have been laying importance on the need for testing. Researchers have suggested that rapid research can, in fact, help bring an end to the pandemic within weeks. However, developing tests with reduced turnaround time has been a challenge for researchers. As the disease progresses and scientists find more ways around it, the most recent development in COVID-19 testing is the use of artificial intelligence – where AI can see, and hear COVID-19 in your lungs. Accoridng to latest reports, Dr Mary-Anne Hartley, a medical doctor and researcher in EPFL's intelligent Global Health group (iGH) and team, have developed new algorithms to identify patterns of COVID-19 in lung images, and breath sounds, using artificial intelligence.
