There is a great story in Wired about two startups, BenevolentAI and Atomwise and how their researchers are trying to find drugs that could be useful in treating COVID-19 patients. They look for new drug combinations and also trying to repurpose existing medications. This is only possible through A.I.-based simulations, data mining and network science. One of the issues of this infection everyone is talking about recently is the cytokine storm it causes that can lead to intensive care even for younger adults. It seems there is an antiviral treatment that could help prevent it from happening and all this was found using the methods I listed above. A.I. finally becomes mainstream and I cannot wait to read the myriad of papers that come out in the coming weeks. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #deeplearning #machinelearning #COVID19 #COVID_19 #coronavirus …see more
