Context
Due to the rural penetration of the Covid pandemic in Bihar, the State has developed a first of its kind initiative by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the country to track Covid positive cases under treatment at home.
About the AI tracking method
-
The system is called “Home Isolation Tracking (HIT) Covid”.
-
It is based on artificial intelligence.
-
It is an app-based system.
-
The App was designed and by Bihar IT Department and Bihar Electronics Limited (Beltron) in coordination with the Health Department.
-
The most important functionality of the app is to transfer the details of all critical patients to the nearest authority.
-
It will help the authorities
-
to reduce the time of data transferring between one process to another process
AI and Covid
- The ongoing development in AI and Machine Learning has significantly improved treatment, medication, screening, prediction, forecasting, contact tracing, and drug/vaccine development process for the Covid-19 pandemic and reduce the human intervention in medical practice.
- Most of the models are not deployed enough to show their real-world operation, but they are still up to the mark to tackle the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.
- The relation with health care begins with the evolution of the first expert system called MYCIN developed in 1976.
- MYCIN was designed to use 450 rules collected from a medical expert to treat bacterial infection by suggesting antibiotics to the patients.
- Recent studies evident on the prospect of ML and AI technology for the various pandemic outbreak, it supports healthcare experts in various communicable diseases (SARS, EBOLA, HIV, COVID_19) and non-communicable diseases (Cancer, Diabetic, Heart disease, and Stroke) outbreak.
