Researchers are developing an artificial intelligence technology that can predict the need for respirators in Corona patients

Washington-Sana

US researchers have developed an artificial intelligence technology that helps medical staff identify patients infected with the Corona virus who will need to use a respirator.

According to the “Nature Medicine” magazine, which published the research, this technology used an algorithm to analyze chest x-rays and electronic health data for about 10,000 people with corona from several hospitals. concentrated and they needed help breathing.

Thanks to this technology, doctors can predict patients' need for oxygen within 24 hours of a patient's arrival at the emergency department.

The importance of the new technology is that it observes consistent and repetitive patterns to identify disease states and how they develop, which leads to better preparations in medical devices and hospitals and a higher ability to deal with patients.

According to researchers involved in developing the technology, computer vision and artificial intelligence techniques allowed scientists to study how certain immune cells are regulated in the lung tissue of some patients. This step would enrich the understanding of the body’s mechanisms in confronting viruses and thus play a greater role in developing vaccines.
