Abstract

Chester is an existing prototype of a radiology assistant that can recognize certain pneumonia-related characteristics. During the current pandemic, this project aims to improve Chester's disease predictions with the aim of enhancing the management of patient care. How will this be done? By combining artificial intelligence and image recognition, while widely disseminating a public database of clinical metadata for a large number of COVID-19 cases (as well as SARS and other pneumonia cases).
