New AI software as a service for Hospital Systems, Clinics speeds COVID-19 diagnosis times by x50 and helps easily track effectiveness of treatment using Google(GOOG) Cloud Platform

Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Chicago, Illinois August 25, 2020 – HighGate Inc, an AI based cyber security leader in penetration testing and anti-ransomware solutions, today announced it has launched an artificial intelligence solution HighGate LungAnalyser 1.1 designed to help medical staff rapidly assess, monitor, and diagnose COVID-19 patients using CT scans of their respiratory systems.

It normally takes a physician 10-15 minutes to manually read a CT scan and determine the extent of COVID-19 damage to a patient’s lungs. Tracking the progression of the infection is also done manually and can take tens of minutes or more. HighGate LungAnalyser will do the analysis and tracking of COVID-19 progression, using CT scans, in 10-20 seconds, saving precious time and thereby increasing physician productivity. It can plot out a graph in seconds, showing the progression of COVID-19 in a patient helping the physician save minutes or more of extrapolation and analysis time that can be applied to more complex treatment strategy.

“With the rapid spread of COVID-19, physicians and medical staff are overwhelmed with COVID-19 CT Scan demands. The HighGate LungAnalyser can ease the burden on health care providers and facilities. It’s easy to use and allows a medical professional to quickly see in seconds, the degree of infection” said Fas Mosleh, Interim CEO and vice president, AI SaaS Products at HighGate Inc. “Using LungAnalyser’s progression tracking feature, medical staff can quickly ascertain the effectiveness of any COVID-19 therapy by reviewing a graph showing the progress of the infection’s intensity and prevalence.”

HighGate’s deep learning model has been made available for free as a research solution to participating hospitals with the aim of assisting doctors in making COVID-19 diagnoses and better tracking the evolution of the infection. Pulmonary abnormalities caused by COVID-19 can also be found by chance in exams carried out for other reasons – e.g. abdominal CT scans for bowel problems, in patients without respiratory complaints. LungAnalyser 1.1 uses Google Cloud to provide a scalable, secure, software as a service.
