AI-CT-COVID-19

A collaborative online AI engine for precise CT-based COVID-19 diagnosis

We deliver an AI-based CT diagnostic tool based on the concept of federated learning to provide people worldwide an effective AI model for precise CT-COVID diagnosis.

Federated learning - enables machine learning engineers and medical data scientists to work collectively with decentralized CT data with privacy by default and therefore everyone can contribute to a continuously-evolved and improved central AI model and help to provide people worldwide an effective AI model for precise CT-COVID diagnosis.
Initial central model - utilizing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), capable of classifying CT cases into COVID-19, other viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, or healthy tissue, furthermore, assessing the severity for putative COVID-19 patients.
Online diagnostic engine- providing interfaces for clinician to use and for biomedical data scientists to training new model starting from the central model with their own decentralized CT studies.

Federated Learning Framework

The federated learning framework is a decentralized architecture where the AI model is distributed to and executed at each host institution with the data sources or client ends for training and inferencing. The local copies of the AI model on the host institution eliminate network latencies and costs incurred due to sharing large size of data with the central server.
