Scientists at the University of Alberta have developed a tool to help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. MedROAD is a virtual clinic that uses artificial intelligence and cloud-based computing to assess patients in their own homes. https://globalnews.ca/news/6847021/u-of-a-virutal-clinic-coronavirus/
MedROAD, a virtual clinic originally developed to extend health care to remote communities, could help provide patient care while maintaining distance, say U of A computing scientists. https://www.folio.ca/recently-developed-remote-medical-assessment-tool-could-help-flatten-the-covid-19-curve/
A made-in-Edmonton system could change the way you see a doctor. As Su-Ling Goh explains, the people who came up with it also say it could save the health-care system a lot of money. https://globalnews.ca/video/6622056/made-in-edmonton-system-could-change-how-patients-see-their-doctors/
Deployment of MedROAD Virtual Clinic: Starting August 1, 2020, we will initiate the deployment of the new re-engineered version of MedROAD Virtual Clinic at two sites. The first project is to deploy MedROAD VC at two private clinics managed by Dr. Cathy Scrimshaw from the Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP). We aim to demonstrate
