IIT Professor Says With His Software COVID-19 Can Be Detected In 5 Seconds
The novel coronavirus originated from the Wuhan province of China has spread to more than 200 nations across the nation. The toll of the COVID-19 cases in India alone has surpassed 23,000 mark.
In the wake of this tense situation, an IIT Roorkee professor Kamal Jain has come up with a piece of good news and said that he developed software that can detect the COVID-19 in just five seconds.
The professor maintained that with the help of the X-ray scan of the suspected COVID-19 patient we can detect the virus. Kamal Jain even approached the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the review of his software.
"Using the software developed by me, the doctors can simply upload pictures of an individual's X-ray. The software will not only classify whether the patient has any sign of pneumonia, it will be able to tell whether it is due to COVID-19 or other bacteria and also measure severity of the infection. The results can be processed within five seconds," Kamal Jain said.
