IISc researchers develop AI-based software tool for diagnosis of Covid-19 lung infection February 17, 2021 Also develop a mobile app for the lightweight software Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in collaboration with colleagues from Oslo University Hospital and the University of Agder in Norway, have developed a software tool that can reveal the severity of lung infections in Covid-19 patients. The findings were published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems. Covid-19 can cause severe damage to the respiratory systems, especially the lung tissues. Image-based methods such as X-ray or CT scans can prove helpful in determining how bad the infection is.
