01 Oct 2020

1 October 2020 - Changi General Hospital (CGH) and the Integrated Health Information System (IHiS) have developed a Community Acquired Pneumonia and COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Predictive Engine (CAPE) that can determine the likelihood of whether the patient has mild or severe pneumonia, based on the chest X-ray image. This will help to alert doctors to patients who are likely to become critically ill, and enable prioritisation of treatment resources.
