AI-based technologies to help tackle COVID-19
- As a part of Israel-India cooperation to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, (AIIMS), Delhi has received stateoftheart AI-based technologies and highend equipment from the Embassy of Israel
- The technologies include an
- AI videooriented, voiceoperated autonomous personal AI assistant robot, an app that can be installed on any mobile phone of the COVID19 staff which makes the work of the hospital staff inside the COVID19 departments much more effective and easier
- It also includes innovative products designed to give clinicians constant contact-free access to patient’s vitals like heart rate and the respiratory rate which improves patient safety with contact-free, continuous patient monitoring, a 12hour disinfection product called CPD that stays active and continuous to protect the surface against new attacks of contamination.
- It also has a noninvasive remotepatient monitoring system which aids as a preliminary screening tool of respiratory indicators of suspected COVID19 patients and recovering patients and AI-based software for ultrasound use and designed specially to fight COVID19
Other cooperation of Israel with India in Covid-19
- Recently, an Israeli team arrived in India with a multi-pronged mission, codenamed Operation Breathing Space to work with Indian authorities on the Covid-19 response.
- India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel’s defense ministry research and development team are working together to develop four different kinds of rapid testing kits for Covid-19 which can give the result within 30 seconds.
- The tests include an audio test, a breath test, thermal testing, and a polyamine test.
- In the audio test, a patient’s voice would be recorded and evaluated through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- In the breath test, the patient will blow into a tube that will detect the virus using terra-hertz (high frequency) waves.
- Thermal testing will enable the identification of the virus in a saliva sample.
- Poly amino acids test seeks to isolate proteins related to Covid-19.
- The kits will be jointly developed after trials on Indian Covid-19 patients. The tests have already been tried on a small sample of Israeli patients.
- The Israeli team has brought robotic equipment, and wrist monitors that will help doctors and nurses monitor a patient without increasing risks of infection to themselves.
- The team has also brought 83 advanced respirators to help patients with severe symptoms.
- The success of rapid tests will help India’s overworked health-care professionals, who are experiencing fatigue. It will also help to address the public impatience over the Covid-19 test.
- The quicker test will help authorities to take quicker prevention measures, which will reduce the spread of the virus among people.
