Abstract

The Knowlegde Institute Federation of Medical Specialists receives urgent, nationwide prioritized COVID-19 related questions from medical doctors. To answer these questions, they develop evidence-based guidelines. They systematically search for relevant papers in large datasets. However, screening hundreds, or even thousands of papers, is time consuming, time we do not have right now. Therefore, we are developing Open Source software which automatically collects data (COVID-19 related papers) and uses artificial intelligence to find relevant papers as quickly as possible.
