Many infected patients develop pneumonia (called novel coronavirus pneumonia, NCP) and progress into the severe acute respiratory syndrome with a poor prognosis. However, diagnosis and management of NCP are challenging. Using a large CT database, we developed a CT based AI system for diagnose Coronavirus and differentiate it from other viral pneumonia. The AI model can also predict and calculate time of progression to critical illness requiring ICU admission. We also developed an AI based system using chest X-ray images that can distinguish viral pneumonia from bacterial pneumonia, which can be used as a primary screening tool for Coronavirus in an area where medical access is limited.

Join AmCham South China webinar, Sir Heng Sokkung, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation of the Kingdom of Cambodia will share How Cambodia Fights Against the Virus while Sir Billy Chan of Macau University of Science and Technology will discuass Coronavirus Detection Breakthrough - AI Technology.
