Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are playing a significant role in understanding and addressing the crisis caused by COVID-19. The technology mimic human intelligence and ingest great volumes of data to quickly chart patterns and identify insights.
One example is when BenevolentAI, a global leader in the development and application of artificial intelligence for drug discovery, took just few days to find that Baricitinib (a drug currently approved for rheumatoid arthritis, owned by Eli Lilly) is a strongest candidate and can be a potential treatment for COVID-19 patients.
This accelerated the clinical trials of #Baricitinib and Eli Lilly (a giant American Pharmaceutical company) has already commenced phase III clinical trials of Baricitinib to treat COVID-19.
Few more names include Deepmind, ImmunoPrecise, Insilico, healx, Imperial College, Tech Mahindra, and Deargen. Some Indian companies include NIRAMAI, Staqu, Qure.AI, Tech Mahindra, and DiyCam.

Recognition of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) using deep learning network IJECEIAES
Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has an incredible influence in the last few months. It causes thousands of deaths in round the world. This make a rapid research movement to deal with this new virus. As a computer science, many technical researches have been done to tackle with it by using image processing algorithms. In this work, we introduce a method based on deep learning networks to classify COVID-19 based on x-ray images. Our results are encouraging to rely on to classify the infected people from the normal. We conduct our experiments on recent dataset, Kaggle dataset of COVID-19 X-ray images and using ResNet50 deep learning network with 5 and 10 folds cross validation. The experiments results show that 5 folds gives effective results than 10 folds with accuracy rate 97.28%.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease, which has already caused
thousands of causalities and infected several millions of people worldwide. Any technological tool
enabling rapid screening of the COVID-19 infection with high accuracy can be crucially helpful to the
healthcare professionals. The main clinical tool currently in use for the diagnosis of COVID-19 is the
Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which is expensive, less-sensitive and requires
specialized medical personnel. X-ray imaging is an easily accessible tool that can be an excellent alternative
in the COVID-19 diagnosis. This research was taken to investigate the utility of artificial intelligence (AI)
in the rapid and accurate detection of COVID-19 from chest X-ray images
This document summarizes a research paper that surveys the use of deep learning and medical image processing techniques for detecting and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how deep learning has been applied to medical image analysis for various healthcare applications. It then reviews state-of-the-art research applying deep learning to COVID-19 medical imaging for detection and diagnosis. It also presents examples of this approach being used in China, Korea, and Canada. Finally, it discusses challenges and opportunities for further improving deep learning for COVID-19 medical imaging.
Repurposed existing drugs and updated global health policy and clinical guidelines will be essential for limiting the social and economic devastation caused by this virus. So, we are leading a three-phase multinational Network Medicine clinical study (MNM COVID-19 study). The study will apply Network Medicine methodologies to repurpose existing drugs for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and update global health policy and clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Healthcare as we know it is in the process of going through a massive change - from episodic to continuous, from disease-focused to wellness and quality of life focused, from clinic centric to anywhere a patient is, from clinician controlled to patient empowered, and from being driven by limited data to 360-degree, multimodal personal-public-population physical-cyber-social big data-driven. While the ability to create and capture data is already here, the upcoming innovations will be in converting this big data into smart data through contextual and personalized processing such that patients and clinicians can make better decisions and take timely actions for augmented personalized health. In this talk, we will discuss how use of AI techniques on semantically integrated patient-generated health data (PGHD), environmental data, clinical data, and public social data is exploited to achieve a range of augmented health management strategies that include self-monitoring, self-appraisal, self-management, intervention, and Disease Progression Tracking and Prediction. We will review examples and outcomes from a number of applications, some involving patient evaluations, including asthma in children, bariatric surgery/obesity, mental health/depression, that are part of the Kno.e.sis kHealth personalized digital health initiative.
Background: Background: http://bit.ly/k-APH, http://bit.ly/kAsthma, http://j.mp/PARCtalk
Wide adoption of smartphones and availability of low-cost sensors has resulted in seamless and continuous monitoring of physiology, environment, and public health notifications. However, personalized digital health and patient empowerment can become a reality only if the complex multisensory and multimodal data is processed within the patient context. Contextual processing of patient data along with personalized medical knowledge can lead to actionable information for better and timely decisions. We present a system called kHealth capable of aggregating multisensory and multimodal data from sensors (passive sensing) and answers to questionnaire (active sensing) from patients with asthma. We present our preliminary data analysis comprising data collected from real patients highlighting the challenges in deploying such an application. The results show strong promise to derive actionable information using a combination of physiological indicators from active and passive sensors that can help doctors determine more precisely the cause, severity, and control level of asthma. Information synthesized from kHealth can be used to alert patients and caregivers for seeking timely clinical assistance to better manage asthma and improve their quality of life.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

2. AI – helping hand in the fight against Covid-19 Page 2
INTRODUCTION
The global medical sciences fraternity is working tirelessly to handle
COVID-19 ever since the outbreak was announced. Scientists have
been working tirelessly to sequence the genome of the novel
coronavirus, pharma giants have launched supportive therapies (e.g.,
Fabiflu and Remdesivir) in less than six months, and clinical trials of all
active vaccine candidates are taking an aggressive path.
Tied to these efforts is Artificial intelligence (AI) that has been
contributing significantly in expediting the efforts of handling this crisis. A
significant example is that of a Canadian AI-based company BlueDot,
which detected the outbreak of COVID-19 very early on.
3. AI – helping hand in the fight against Covid-19 Page 3
Figure 1 – AI domains
Prediction & Alerts
Diagnosis
Assistance & Prevention
Treatment & Cure
Research & Development
Other examples include use of AI in early diagnosis of coronavirus
infection by improving the speed and accuracy of imaging techniques,
deployment of AI-based robots to sterilize medical facilities, use of
drones to deliver medical supplies, identifying people’s compliance with
COVID-19 medical guidelines, and understanding and suggesting the
development process for vaccines and drugs. These are just a few
examples; the applications of artificial intelligence to fight against the
novel coronavirus is seemingly endless.
In this light, Bayslope has conducted a secondary research to identify
potential AI-driven solutions around the world to tackle COVID-19. Our
findings are presented in this report. The solutions are broadly classified
under five technology domains/ themes (shown in Figure 1 below).
Artificial
Intelligence
(AI)
combating
COVID-19
4. AI – helping hand in the fight against Covid-19 Page 4
1. PREDICTION &
ALERTS
2. DIAGNOSIS
This category captures concepts such as predicting a
disease outbreak, tracking its spread, and sending
alerts/ warnings to various healthcare systems,
agencies, and governments. The disease prediction may
be based on data collected from diverse sources such as
travel history, news articles, population density, disease
type, as well as real-time information.
For instance, Blue Dot, a Canadian start-up, developed
an alarm system that indicates a possible outbreak. This
system was released on December 31st, 2019, which
was earlier than the WHO announcement. The company
deployed its AI-based tools to analyze data and predict
the outbreak of COVID-19. The company analyzed
information related to airline ticketing, flight paths and
other data to accurately predict that COVID-19 would
jump from Wuhan to Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo.
On similar lines, companies, such as Stratifyd and
Metabiota have been using AI tools to predict global
outbreaks of many infectious diseases.
This domain defines methods and/or applications that
help in the detection and identification of various
symptoms and causes of the disease. For instance,
various AI-based solutions have been used in
conjunction with CT scan devices, X-ray machines,
voice, and other medical devices to enhance the
accuracy and efficiency of the underlined diagnosis
methods.
Infervision, a Chinese start-up, offers a similar AI-based
solution to analyze CT scan images of the patients and
flag patients that are suffering from the disease.
5. AI – helping hand in the fight against Covid-19 Page 5
3. TREATMENT &
CURE
4. ASSISTANCE &
PREVENTION
Similarly, Chinese technology giant M3 Incorporation,
which is part of Alibaba Group Holdings, developed an
AI-based tool to analyze CT scan images to quickly
identify patients suffering from COVID-19.
This domain provides solutions that help in identifying
novel or repurposed drug targets and/or vaccines by
studying molecular details and other characteristics of
the target molecules. AI is leveraged to assist in the
study of the 3D structure of potential drugs and analyze
the performance of these drugs against their biological
targets.
Remarkable AI-based applications under this domain
include performing genome analysis, identifying
molecules for potential medications, antibody discovery,
developing RNA-based vaccines, predicting the structure
of virus associated with the disease such as coronavirus
protein structures, secondary structure of ribonucleic
acid (RNA) sequence of COVID-19, and more.
Google’s DeepMind uses deep learning to predict the
structure of proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 and
the virus that causes COVID-19 to understand its
functioning. Further, Makers Lab’s, the R&D department
of Tech Mahindra, is deploying AI to conduct research
and develop potential drugs for the treatment of COVID-
19.
Assistance & Prevention is an equally important category
that captures all AI-based solutions that can help in the
prevention and assist during the tough times of an
outbreak. Various examples include the use of robots for
delivering medical supplies and essential needs, taking
6. AI – helping hand in the fight against Covid-19 Page 6
5. Research &
Development
care of patients, assisting doctors or nurses and
disinfecting rooms.
Similarly, drones have been used to deliver medical
supplies from one city to another city.
Another exemplary usage of AI in assisting and
preventing the intensity of an outbreak is the use of AI-
enabled thermal cameras to determine body temperature
of people at public places.
Diycam’s hospital management solution offers AI-based
solutions for healthcare institutes to check in real-time if
doctors and medical staff are wearing masks, caps,
gloves, etc. The underlined technology uses computer
vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to
collect, collate and analyze data from target sites, and
help medical authority keep a check on the status of
compliance.
Maccabi Healthcare Services, an Israel-based
organization, is yet another example that offers an AI-
based solution to identify people who are at maximum
risk of getting infected. The identification is done based
on the analysis of healthcare records of target people.
The category ‘Research and Analytics’ focuses on
collating and analyzing the necessary research records
that may act as a repository for researchers and
scientists to find a viable solution against COVID-19. For
instance, the Semantic Scholar team at the Allen
Institute for AI has partnered with leading research
groups to provide COVID-19 Open Research Dataset
(i.e. CORD-19), a free resource of more than 128,000
scholarly articles about the novel coronavirus. Similarly,
Innoplexus provide its Ontosight®
AI search platform that
