The digital medicine company physIQ Inc. has received a contract from the NIH to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based index that can provide an early warning that a patient with COVID-19 is in decline and needs medical treatment. The index, called the COVID-19 Decompensation Index (CDI) Digital Biomarker, will run on physIQ’s existing accelerateIQ computing platform, analyzing physiological data from FDA-cleared wearable devices to create a personalized baseline for patients who have tested positive for COVID-19.
