AI and Engineering for Healthcare Crises: Rapid Response Strategies for Covid-19

Partner Event: Free to attend

It’s official - WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. As the virus spreads exponentially and containment is not an option anymore, the strategies for slowing the spread of the infection will have a tremendous impact on the outcome of the current health crisis.

In times of complex problems like this, there is a central role for the engineering community to come together to support science, government and public/social institutions, and the success or a failure depends on how all three communities cooperate.

This first webinar of a series will explore:

What do we now know about Covid19?
What is AI and how has it been applied to healthcare
What are the mathematics of Covid19 growth and how can AI and Engineering solutions be applied quickly?
How do we evaluate which solutions are working?
Why are there conflicting views on what to do?
How do we rapidly finance the best ideas and get them deployed?
