Researchers at King’s School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences and King’s College Hospital will be commencing a COVID-19 project using chest X-rays, clinical data and artificial intelligence (AI) to help clinical staff more effectively triage patients with COVID-19 and the likelihood of needing ventilator support.
