Baguio hospital uses AI to detect COVID-19

The Baguio General Hospital installed an AI COVID-19 Scan Analyzer, developed by Huawei in China, to help detect coronavirus cases using CT scans.

The technology compares patients' CT scan results with a database of positive cases from China and can determine if there are similarities within two minutes.

Mayor Benjamin Magalong stated that while the test is not confirmatory, it has 98% accuracy and will initially be used for health personnel showing symptoms.
