Biophotonics and AI to the Rescue - Developing a Risk Stratification Tool for COVID-19 Using the iLoF Platform

The current Covid-19 pandemic highlighted that, globally, healthcare systems are not prepared with adequate tools to predict and manage infectious outbreaks. Patients react very

differently to infections; some get very seriously ill, while others experience

only mild symptoms. The failure to effectively differentiate between these

group poses significant barriers for hospitals and physicians, while they

struggle to manage critical but very limited resources.  In this talk, we

demonstrate the clinical utility of the iLoF technology to forecast COVID-19

disease severity using patient serum samples at the point of diagnosis. Using

this platform, we aim to implement a rapid and low-cost tool, which is capable

of screening COVID-19 patients and predicting the evolution of their symptoms,

ensuring accurate and personalized clinical management.
