AI could help doctors make most of resources during pandemic 

Monday, December 6, 2021

New technology developed by researchers at Waterloo Engineering could help doctors make the best use of limited resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify patients who require intensive care unit (ICU) treatment based on vital signs, blood test results, medical history and other data.

“That is a very important step in the clinical decision support process for triaging patients and developing treatment plans,” said Alexander Wong, a professor of systems design engineering and Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging.
