"Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge along with 20 other hospitals from across the world and healthcare technology leader, NVIDIA, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict COVID-19 patients’ oxygen needs.
The research published in Nature Medicine, used an algorithm to analyse chest x-rays and anonymised electronic health data from hospital patients with COVID-19 symptoms.
Once the algorithm learned from the data, the analysis was used to build an AI tool called EXAM, which was found to predict patients’ oxygen needs within 24 hours of their arrival in the emergency department, with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of over 88%."
