A free research discovery app has been launched to provide access to tens of thousands of published research papers on COVID-19.
Tech company Deeper Insights has launched the app to help healthcare professionals access the latest COVID-19 research. Since January there has been a surge in research, with 128,000 papers published on the subject.
The app is support by former BMJ Director Matthew Harker, Critical Care Research Lead for Wales Dr Matt Morgan, and former NHS Director and co-founder of Aequum Health Meuthia Endrojono-Ellis.
The Covid Insights app contains over 52,000 published research papers, and users can quickly search the ‘knowledge graph’, a tool powered by Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing which supports navigation of this vast amount of data.
Jack Hampson, CEO, Deeper Insights said “Like many doctors currently in the field, my sister has been overwhelmed by the vast amount of disparate, invalidated, and potentially risky information around COVID-19.”
“Deeper Insights has the technology to powerfully machine-read and analyse a vast array of research data. With the help of a consortium of technology and healthcare professionals, we have been able to develop and build the Covid Insights platform in just 6 weeks so that medical professionals can get easy access to the huge volume of valuable data contained within these research papers.”
Dr Matt Morgan, Critical Care Research Lead for Wales said “The Covid Insights platform has the potential to change the way that research is discovered, assessed and accessed for the benefits of science and medicine.”
