Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Most people in the world infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory disorder and get better without requiring special treatment. Although, some will become seriously ill and require exceptional medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes, or cancer are more likely to grow serious illnesses. Anybody can get sick with COVID-19 disease and get seriously ill or die at any age. Millions of people have died from COVID-19 in the world.
Operations of Artificial Intelligence in Covid-19 disease management
AI is successfully working to identify disease clusters, monitor cases, predict future outbreaks, mortality risk, diagnosis of COVID-19, facilitating training, disease management by resource allocation, record maintenance, and pattern recognition for studying the disease trend.
Several applications of AI that are collecting a lot of interest and raising hopes in the fight against COVID-19 are as follows:
AI in forecasting & tracking
AI can be applied for forecasting the spread of virus and developing early warning systems by collecting information from social media platforms, calls and news sites, providing useful information about the unsafe regions, and predicting morbidity and mortality. Blue dot identified a cluster of pneumonia cases and by using machine learning predicted the outbreak and geographical location of the COVID-19 outbreak based on available data. AI makes it readily available to facilitate the effective tracking of its spread. Recently, the role of AI in identification and predicting of COVID-19 outburst by employing several and data was emphasized in several modes.
AI in contact tracing
AI can increase mobile heath applications where smart devices like mobile phones, cameras, watches, and range of wearable device can be employed for contact tracing, diagnosis, and efficient monitoring in COVID-19.
AI in observing of COVID-19 cases
AI techniques are applied for observing COVID-19 patients in clinical setting (a hospital, outpatient facility, or clinic). Based on the data derived from essential statistics and clinical configurations, AI may provide critical information for resource allocation and decision-making by arranging the need of ventilators and respiratory supports in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). AI can also be used for forecasting the chances of recovery or deaths in COVID-19.
AI in growth of vaccines
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions that could speed up the pace of discovery and optimization of vaccines. AI has been applied to many dimensions of drug discovery and This improvement is crucial for the current scenario.
Conclusion & outlook
COVID-19 has boosted the adoption of artificial intelligence in health care sector. AI based tools and solutions can work more quickly and respond to the active nature of the emergency. The need for immediate solutions and response to this outburst was really accelerated by AI and various digital technologies. AI was found to be on balance and even more accurate than human experts in COVID-19 diagnosis and drug or vaccine discovery.
