A team from Tainan''s National Cheng Kung University has made a tool that can detect when a patient has pneumonia. The system uses machine learning to scan images of a patient''s lungs. It can detect pneumonia in as little as one second, giving doctors a way to more quickly catch patients who have the novel coronavirus. This tool was one of the winners of the COVID-19 Global Hackathon, an event organized by the World Health Organization. As one of the winning entries, it was featured on the WHO event website next to an icon of Taiwan''s flag. Using a dataset of chest X-rays, this artificial intelligence tool can alert doctors to a coronavirus infection in as little as a second. Creators say the accuracy rate is as high as 92%. This is an AI tool developed by students and faculty at National Cheng Kung University. They submitted this project to the COVID-19 Global Hackathon, which drew participants from more than 170 countries. The project won the favor of the judging panel and is highlighted on the WHO’s event website.Chiang Jung-hsienProfessorAn experienced radiologist will often need several minutes or even tens of minutes to analyze an X-ray image. This is an AI-based diagnostic tool. The system is able to make computations very quickly. In less than a second, it is able to send an alert about any suspicious signs.The project is featured on the event website with the letters “TW” on the upper right-hand side. On the mobile version of the website, the letters are replaced with Taiwan’s national flag.Chiang Jung-hsienProfessorOur national flag is there in a sea of flags representing the U.S. and European countries. Taiwan’s flag is right there among the countries of the world. We’re very happy that it’s displayed there. Words can’t describe how good that feels.The COVID-19 Global Hackathon is the first online competition of its kind since the start of the outbreak. Developers around the world uploaded two-minute videos introducing their project to the judges.Chiang Jung-hsienProfessorWe’re looking to make this platform available to the public, so that clinicians in need will be able to use it.The competition called for projects under seven main categories, including health and businesses. The Cheng Kung University team submitted their project under “Health,” the most competitive category, and came out on top to put Taiwan on the global stage.
