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.
Go to AI could help doctors make the best use of ICU beds during the COVID-19 pandemic for the full story.
