Our own leader Dev Bhattacharyya, was instrumental in developing and deploying on April 7, the COVID-19 Lung Imaging Analysis application at UC San Diego Health. Supported by Amazon Web Services and using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment lung imaging analysis, Dev architected, and coded most of the project, leading to full deployment in 2 weeks! Kudos to Albert Hsiao, MD, PhD, associate professor of radiology at UCSD School of Medicine and his team for developing the machine learning algorithm and training it with 22,000 notations by human radiologists and Christopher Longhurst, CIO at US San Diego Health for his leadership in making this project a reality. https://health.ucsd.edu/news/releases/Pages/2020-04-07-artificial-intelligence-enables-rapid-covid-19-lung-imaging-analysis.aspx
