The institute's Team , in partnership with E-PROCESS-MED, has developed this pioneering initiative that offers fast and reliable screening.

The Institute for Biomedical Research and Innovation in the province of Cádiz INiBICA) has presented the results of a project for the diagnosis of COVID-19 using artificial intelligence at the Mobile World Congress 2024, which is currently being held in Barcelona.

This pioneering project, funded by the Regional Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs within the framework of public-private financing, and developed in collaboration with the company E-PROCESS-MED, has been created to offer rapid and reliable screening of possible COVID-19 patients.

The INiBICA Team , in partnership with E-PROCESS-MED, has developed DS&AI, an innovative clinical decision support system. This system is strategically aligned with the goal of improving patient well-being within the Andalusian public healthcare system and stimulating the creation of innovations that effectively meet business and social demands.

The technology has been developed over the last two years through a prospective multicenter clinical study, resulting in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that streamlines the screening process for patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

This initiative, developed thanks to the collaboration of the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), the Foundation for the Management of Biomedical Research in Cádiz FCÁDIZ), the University of Cádiz UCA), and E-PROCESS-MED, features the outstanding participation of two principal investigators from INiBICA: Alberto Romero Palacios, head of the Infectious Diseases Unit at Puerto Real University Hospital, Puerto Real José Antonio Girón González, director of the Unit and Head of Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases and Palliative Care at Hospital Universitario Puerta del Mar, as well as professor at UCA and recipient of one of this year's Andalusian Flags in the province.

Last Tuesday, Alberto Romero and Levian González, head of innovation for the project, were responsible for presenting these advances in the project, entitled "AI-based COVID diagnosis and screening."

Participation in the Mobile World Congress 2024, which ends today, will position INiBICA, according to its manager, Julio Ríos de la Rosa, "as an innovative center at the international level and will serve as a meeting point between the Team and professionals in the digital health sector, providing an extraordinary opportunity to explore synergies and contribute to the advancement of innovation in the field of digital health."
