Chinese AI Companies Offer Extra Help to the Pandemic


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in helping the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. AI-equipped CT machines can help doctors better analyze scan results and robots can help disinfect rooms and deliver meals.

Dr. Zhang, director of the Radiology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, told CGTN that AI can help doctors detect something they can't see with the bare eye. For example it can detect tiny nodules and also evaluate in details the cumulative volume and severity of an infection.

Zhang believes more supporting data and firsthand experiences are needed to keep improving its performance. They are now working with two leading Chinese AI companies on the overall application. One is Yitu Technology, which is one of the first batch of high tech companies to deploy their AI-enabled CT scan system in Hubei and other provinces in China.
