UK data analytics and AI specialists Deeper Insights have launched a free research discovery app to keep medical professionals abreast of recent data on COVID-19. The ‘Covid Insights’ app will act as a centralised database for all research papers produced around COVID-19, enabling clinicians to find the information they need on the virus quickly and efficiently.

WHY IT MATTERS

As thousands of new scientific articles are published about COVID-19 every week, tech start-up Deeper Insights have stepped forward to ease medical professionals’ access to up-to-date information on the virus. The Covid Insights app, available on all web or mobile browsers, functions as an AI-powered search engine that helps users identify relevant scientific literature on the virus upon inputting keywords and phrases.

The platform utilises the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset, or CORD-19, to navigate over 128,000 scientific research papers that have been produced on the virus since January 2020. It uses machine learning along a knowledge graph to establish the relevance of results. These are then aligned to the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metaontolgy, ensuring full clinical understanding through a standardised medical language.
