Felipe Freitas, postdoc at Gr@v is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 using artificial intelligence tecniques.
In the fight against COVID-19, the global epidemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, anticipation is essential. As part of an international group of researchers and medical doctors, the team integrating Felipe Freitas developed a method that uses Artificial Intelligence and computer vision techniques to assist in the early detection of pathologies associated with COVID-19 on patient radiographs. This system, developed with open source code, available to the scientific and medical community, was developed from a previous study in a hospital in Brighton (United Kingdom), adapted to the new coronavirus with the collaboration of the Instituto San Foundation hospital José, in Madrid.
