According to a recent report, AI systems can detect Coronavirus in CT scans of patient’s chests with an accuracy of 96% against pneumonia cases.

Most of the software development companies are trying with AI systems & new algorithms that cut down the whole process of recognition. This is far-reaching progress considering the traditional methods that would take approximately 15 min to analyze a CT scan.

Baidu’s Artificial Intelligence team has launched a software – LinearFold to reduce Coronavirus prediction time from 55 minutes to just  27 seconds. This cut down of prediction time is significant for understanding the virus and in catalyzing the drug discovery.

Machine learning is being used to glance through Social Media and other forms of data from official public health platforms and healthcare providers. This is done to formulate the real-time health analytics of the disruption.

Many companies that use AI for drug discovery are using generative adversarial networks GANs to refine the molecule designs. Molecule amalgam and testing is a slow process.

Now, this is where AI comes into play by bringing the synthesis time and developing more options to design distinct molecular structures. Yet, synthesis and affirmation might take some time and could require significant resources as well.

In China, Doctors have been provided with a new powerful tool called inferVISION, which could help them quickly investigate Novel Covid-19 patients. This AI-based utility can promptly identify potential cases within no or very little time.

inferVISION entirely relies on NVIDIA’sNVIDIA’s Clara SDKs, which is NVIDIA’sNVIDIA’s AI healthcare application framework for AI-powered Medical Imaging.

The software can identify common signs of COVID-19 in suspected ones. The tool looks out for signals of pneumonia that can be caused by the Coronavirus.

Facial recognition is much safer in comparison with fingerprinting as it eliminates the chances of disease being spread through human contact.

So, AI is being used to scan the faces of the people with masks. Hence, encouraging contactless identification of the affected with their temperature detection tool. And it has been deployed at underground stations, schools and other community places in most of the affected countries.

Drones have come to the rescue in some of the majorly affected areas by transporting medical equipment and patient samples. Therefore, it is saving time, increasing delivery speed. Also, it is avoiding the risk of samples being infected.

Moreover, they are also flying with QR code placards that can be examined to register health information.

Robots are being used widely to disinfect patient rooms with zero human intervention, as we all know, how these pandemics make social assistance critical and threatening. So, the medical people are at serious risk of catching the Coronavirus.

The robotic pods transmit ultraviolet light over the region to be disinfected and eliminate any virus. Currently, we are in a very critical situation of the Outbreak. Thus, drug discovery and diagnosis have become necessary, and with AI, there will be immense time saving and, indeed, the lives of humanity.
