Many of us are working from home these days. Life as we know it has dramatically changed in the last few weeks because of COVID-19. That's why data scientists at ClosedLoop.ai have created a COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (http://cv19index.com).

The CV19 Index is an open-source, AI-based predictive model that identifies people who are likely to have a heightened vulnerability to severe complications from COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “The Coronavirus”). The CV19 Index is intended to help hospitals, federal / state / local public health agencies and other healthcare organizations in their work to identify, plan for, respond to, and reduce the impact of COVID-19 in their communities.

Join the CTO and Co-Founder of ClosedLoop.ai, Dave DeCaprio, for an inside look on how CV19 Index was developed. He will cover several aspects that were interesting about this project from a data science perspective, such as the lack of available data on COVID-19, how they selected the types of models to use in an effort to maximize the model’s utility and the tight timeframes they were working with.

Tech requirements:

• This LIVE online event is held online through video conference.
