Computer Models

The new adjustment caused the model to map much more closely with the actual data

Models allow for virtual trials of drugs and vaccines, to test their efficacy against COVID-19

The model takes into account new COVID-19 variants, as well as current public health measures and masking standards

Researchers reveal new methods for accelerating drug approvals during pandemics and for providing more accurate measures of the probabilities of success for clinical trials

Scientists have developed a unique algorithm that can rapidly detect COVID-19 based on how lung disease looks in CT scans of the chest, in combination with patient information

New mathematical model uses information theory to improve epidemiological predictions

While risk models are useful in most cases, they do not make accurate predictions for many patients, which can lead doctors to choose ineffective or unnecessarily risky treatments for some patients

Are robots coming for us, or are they coming to help us?

Accurately predicting the size and timing of infectious disease outbreaks helps public health officials plan appropriate responses

The computer model might eventually enable clinicians to develop tailor-made treatments
