Many countries have introduced social distancing measures to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand if these recommendations are effective, we need to assess how far they are being followed. To assist with this, our team has developed an urban data dashboard to help understand the impact of social distancing measures on people and vehicle movement within […]

A new device that uses AI to monitor coronavirus symptoms is helping doctors treat patients beyond the reach of infection. The box-like device emits wireless signals that bounce off human bodies before returning to the system. Algorithms then analyze changes in the signals to infer the person’s breathing rate, sleep patterns, and movements. The system, named Emerald,

An AI system that turns the coronavirus‘ structure into music could help scientists spot details about COVID-19 that a microscope would miss. The AI-generated tune is an audible representation of the coronavirus’ “spike” proteins, which spread the infection by poking out of the virus and binding to human cells. These spikes make the surface of the virus

Artificial Intelligence has predicted the final league standings of the English Premier League. The English Premier League like other top league had its scheduled matches postponed indefinitely due to the Corona Virus Pandemic. Data Analysts from soccer stats firm Opta came up with  their final English Premier League standings by analyzing four years of historic

Researchers behind an AI app that detects coronavirus in your voice have asked for volunteers to help by uploading audio of them coughing, breathing, and talking. Scientists from Cambridge University will use the data to develop machine learning algorithms that analyze a voice for symptoms of COVID-19. The COVID-19 Sounds App joins a growing list of tools using

AI is being used to determine COVID-19 patients who are mostly in need of ventilators and intensive care by computer scientists from the University of Copenhagen. The approach will help doctors determine symptoms that are common among seriously ill patients. With this in place, AI will provide hospitals insights on the number of patients that

Starburst announced a free offer aimed at helping healthcare professionals stop the spread of COVID-19. The offer is available for the duration of 2020 and is specifically for universities, hospitals, and healthcare research organizations, including government and non-government organizations (NGOs) that have teams dedicated to analyzing COVID-19 data. One of the challenges facing research teams is

The world’s fastest supercomputer Summit, was recently deployed as part of efforts to develop a treatment for the coronavirus (COVID-19). Numerous simulations were performed by researchers to identify drug compounds that could lead to a treatment to control or cure COVID-19. The use of traditional methods to perform this research would take years but Summit

The government of Israel is planning to make use of their secret collection of  people’s phone data to trace people who have crossed paths with someone who has contracted the coronavirus so as to decide who should be quarantined. In a report by New York Times reports, the classified dataset that would be used is
