How to use AI IoT to diagnose COVID-19 with WP Medical Healthcare Records?
The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) presents several unique features. While the diagnosis is confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), infected patients with pneumonia may present on chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images with a pattern that is only moderately characteristic for the human eye Ng, 2020. COVID-19’s rate of transmission depends on our capacity to reliably identify infected patients with a low rate of false negatives. In addition, a low rate of false positives is required to avoid further increasing the burden on the healthcare system by unnecessarily exposing patients to quarantine if that is not required. Along with proper infection control, it is evident that timely detection of the disease would enable the implementation of all the supportive care required by patients affected by COVID-19.
You can use WP Medical Healthcare Records Plugin to diagnose your chest X-ray or CT images. And get results of probable prediction on diseases.
In order to bridge the gap between Deep Learning researchers and medical professionals we develop a very accessible free prototype system which can be used by medical professionals to understand the reality of Deep Learning tools for chest X-ray diagnostics. The system is designed to be a second opinion where a user can process an image to confirm or aid in their diagnosis. Code and network weights are delivered via a URL to a web browser (including cell phones) but the patient data remains on the users machine and all processing occurs locally. This paper discusses the three main components in detail: out-of-distribution detection, disease prediction, and prediction explanation.
The brighter each pixel is in the heatmap the more influence it can have on the predictions. If the color is bright it means that a change in these pixels will change the prediction. A probability indicating how likely the image contains the disease. 50% means the network is not sure.
In late January, a Chinese team published a paper detailing the clinical and paraclinical features of COVID-19. They reported that patients present abnormalities in chest CT images with most having bilateral involvement Huang 2020. Bilateral multiple lobular and subsegmental areas of consolidation constitute the typical findings in chest CT images of intensive care unit (ICU) patients on admission Huang 2020. In comparison, non-ICU patients show bilateral ground-glass opacity and subsegmental areas of consolidation in their chest CT images Huang 2020. In these patients, later chest CT images display bilateral ground-glass opacity with resolved consolidation Huang 2020.
COVID is possibly better diagnosed using radiological imaging Fang, 2020 and Ai 2020. While PCR tests offer many advantages they are physical things that require shipping the test or the sample. X-ray machines can be plugged in to screen patients as long as they have electricity.
Imagine a future where we run out of tests and then the majority of radiologists get sick. AI tools can help general practitioners to triage and treat patients. Companies are developing AI tools and deploying them at hospitals Wired 2020. We should have an open database to develop free tools that will also provide assistance.
Our goal is to use these images to develop AI based approaches to predict and understand the infection. Our group will work to release these models using our open source AI Radiology platform which is designed to scale to a global need by performing the computation locally.
To properly survey populations, millions of COVID-19 test kits will need to be processed. Organizations around the world are trying to ramp their capacity as quickly as possible. COVID-19 cases with chest X-ray or CT images. please do not claim diagnostic performance of a model without a clinical study!
