Bolton NHS Foundation Trust

Deploying AI in the fight against COVID-19

With testing turnaround times of more than 24 hours clinicians used chest radiography as the primary diagnostic tool to assess and triage COVID-19 patients. The introduction of AI algorithms resulted in a faster and more accurate diagnosis. This has meant more efficient triaging and care of patients and optimised use of critical care resources. The tool also mitigated any challenges of reduced medical staff due to COVID-19.
