It helps avoid delays that can waste valuable time when Nirvaan says patients could instead be getting treatment.<\/p>\n
Nirvaan says the technology already has a 95% accuracy rate detecting whether a patient has COVID-19-related pneumonia.<\/p>\n
The software recently placed in a Facebook competition and Nirvaan is looking to offer it to hospitals and clinics.<\/p>\n
We are actually very excited about it currently. We are working to get this out and clinically validated, get it out to clinics and hospitals all over the world, said Nirvaan. I hope that it can be a really big breakthrough and in the sense that it can save lives.<\/p>\n
