How hospitals are using AI and applications to battle COVID-19?

It is an unprecedented battle that we are fighting against the pandemic COVID-19. The world has never faced anything like this before. Therefore, our healthcare industry is trying to utilize the best technologies available to fight against coronavirus.

Artificial Intelligence and mobile apps are being used for manual screening and contact tracing. These apps are especially helpful if you have similar symptoms. When a person reports about the symptoms that are like COVID-19 patients, the app identifies the location of the users’ and cross-check whether they have encountered a corona positive patient or not. These apps also have certain limitations, but they are still being very helpful for users.

AI-driven technologies are also being used for providing decision support for medical imaging or CT scans, and automating medical operations. These technologies are aiding our healthcare professionals by improving their efficiency and reducing the operative & admin costs. AI technology & mHealth are also contributing to the prevention of COVID-19.
