A pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) technology is capable of accurately diagnosing COVID-19 in just a few minutes.
The groundbreaking program developed by researchers at University of the West of Scotland (UWS; Scotland, UK) is able to detect the virus far more quickly than a PCR test, which typically takes around two hours. It is hoped that the technology can eventually be used to help relieve strain on hard-pressed accident and emergency departments, particularly in countries where PCR tests are not readily available.
