AI Program Quickly Predicts Which Patients with COVID-19 Might have Lethal Complications
Written by AZoRoboticsMay 13 2021
A new study has found that a computer program trained to observe patterns by examining thousands of chest X-rays estimated, with up to 80% precision, which patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) would develop fatal complications within 4 days.

Trained to see patterns by analyzing thousands of chest X-rays, a computer program predicted with up to 80 percent accuracy which COVID-19 patients would develop life-threatening complications within four days, a new study finds.
Developed by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the program used several hundred gigabytes of data gleaned from 5,224 chest X-rays taken from 2,943 seriously ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the infections.
