Vancouver General Hospital radiologists began looking into the feasibility of developing an AI model in January 2020, focusing on analyzing CT scans of CoVID-19 infected patients. The goal became to empower radiologists and provide metrics and statistical information about the infection that can’t normally be assessed by the human eye alone.

There’s a new tool being developed in the fight against COVID-19, and it’s happening right here in Vancouver.

We are pleased to announce that Kendall Ho, MD, FRCPC has been appointed as Academic Director for UBC’s Community Health and Wellbeing CIC, a collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS).
