The outbreak of the pandemic has disrupted almost everything, impacting assailability to the lives of lacs of people across the globe. With the rising number of COVID-19 patients across the globe, the governments and hospitals of different countries are being overwhelmed with an influx of COVID-19 patients. With the high influx of patients the management of the available resources is one of the key challenges faced by the healthcare organizations, globally. Looking towards the devastating situation, doctors are taking leverage of AI technology to recognize individuals who are most vulnerable to Covid-19. Hospitals are using this technology to facilitate screening and triage of patients to identify that which patients are most likely to develop severe symptoms. Additionally, the hospitals are deploying AI technology to keep tabs on the virus in their own communities. Previously the AI technology is utilized to performing of the chest to identify the severity of the COVID-19 attack on the human body.
The use of AI technology for the analysis of chest scans has the potential to reduce the growing burden on radiologists, who must review and prioritize a rising number of patient chest scans each day for the quick identification of the disease. China and the US teams have analyzed that the lungs of patients with COVID-19 symptoms had certain visual hallmarks, such as ground-glass opacities—hazy darkened spots in the lung diffuse enough that they don’t block underlying blood vessels or lung structures—and areas of increased lung density called consolidation. Those characteristics became more frequent and more likely to spread across both lungs the longer a person was infected. Hubei had declared that they have manufactured an AI diagnostic tool that is capable to quickly assess blood samples to find out the survival rates of the patients, as per the report of the researcher of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Tongji Hospital in Wuhan. The researchers say that the AI tool kit they have developed achieved 90% accuracy based on the death and survival levels of over 400 patients. To deal with the demand and supply gap caused due to the high number of patients and low availability of ventilators and intensive care units (ICUs). With the rising technological advancement the computer scientists from the University of Copenhagen have developed an AI-powered system to calculate that which COVID-19 patients need ventilators and ICU. The scientists of the computer university have claimed that AI technology will enable the healthcare providers to identify the symptoms that seriously ill patients have in common. The availability of insights offered by the AI system the doctor are easily capable to calculate that which patient will require a ventilator at specific times in the future, and which people do not require any and then plan their resources accordingly.
