Abstract: (5284 Views) |
In late 2019, people around the world became involved with the outbreak of the emerging COVID-19 and its subsequent pandemic. For this reason, researchers in various fields are looking to solve problems related to crisis control and management. The strong transmission power of the SARS-CoV-2 has led experts to use artificial intelligence to combat the pandemic. Artificial intelligence refers to software that, in addition to analyzing data, can have decision-making power, in fact, it is an imitation of expert human intelligence. This study investigates the use of artificial intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Advantages of using artificial intelligence in COVID-19 are presented in the areas of rapid detection and treatment, assistance with rapid diagnosis, monitoring of treatment stages, epidemiology and tracking of infected areas, pandemic status prediction, drug system management, reducing the workload of medical personnel, predicting and monitoring of COVID-19 outbreaks, follow-up of patients, vaccine planning and design. Also, high potential for the application of artificial intelligence in clinical and research laboratories has been estimated. Another potential use of artificial intelligence is to predict mutations that may occur in coronaviruses in the future and cause new symptoms and complications of the disease. |
