Usually, after doctors take X-rays of patients, the results can take several days.
And that’s why Radify -- an online platform created by Envisionit Deep AI -- is a game-changer.
The Radify platform eliminates waiting for results and can also identify which patient is a high risk for contracting COVID-19 by simply analysing an X-ray of their chest.
The system has existed for over a year now, but the COVID-pneumonia platform has been added and is available to doctors for free.
It is already being used in Kimberley and internationally.
