Covid-19: New AI tool can help pinpoint most vulnerable patients, says joint Chinese-US development team


This tool can determine risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome, the fluid build-up in the lungs, with up to 80% accuracy. Doctors can use the tool to assess which patients need beds and who can safely go home, as hospital resources are stretched thin in many countries. — SCMP

A group of Chinese and US researchers have jointly developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict which newly infected coronavirus patients would have a higher risk for severe complications from Covid-19.

Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, along with their counterparts at the Wenzhou Central Hospital and Cangnan People’s Hospital, worked on a study that designed computer models, which made decisions based on data from the two Chinese hospitals in the eastern coastal city of Wenzhou.
