With concerns that current shielding guidelines miss out on people who should be shielding but advise others to shield who do not need to, the researchers will be looking at lung and heart scans taken before the epidemic of people who went on to develop COVID-19 and others who did not. The researchers, led by Dr Joseph Jacob and Prof Danny Alexander, will combine this information with demographic data and information on patients鈥� pre-existing medical conditions, to identify imaging features that can predict severe COVID-19 illness and cardiac events.

The aim is to identify which groups of people are not covered by current shielding guidelines, who should be 鈥� and to identify groups where shielding is not necessary.

Data to be analysed is already being collected as part of the National COVID-19 Chest Imaging Database (NCCID), led by Dr Jacob.聽The 香港六合彩中特网H and 香港六合彩中特网 team will use Microsoft Research鈥檚 state of the art聽聽technology to analyse radiological聽images.

Dr Jacob, who is Consultant Radiologist at 香港六合彩中特网H, a Wellcome Trust Fellow at 香港六合彩中特网 and academic principal researcher for this project, said: 鈥淲e are looking forward to carrying out this work with Microsoft Research Cambridge to shed light on who should be shielding 鈥� and who does not need to. This work will combine our specialist clinical and imaging knowledge on lung disease and COVID-19 at 香港六合彩中特网H and 香港六合彩中特网 with Microsoft鈥檚 machine learning platforms and infrastructure, and image analysis capabilities.鈥�
