AI and analytics firm Deeper Insights launches free COVID-19 research discovery app for medical professionals
London, United Kingdom – 28th May 2020: London-based AI and analytics firm Deeper Insights has launched a free research discovery platform to help medical professionals access the latest research on COVID-19 to further their knowledge and help in the critical search for potential treatments and vaccines.
The Covid Insights app enables researchers, physicians and doctors to quickly and easily search tens of thousands of published research papers on COVID-19; which is one of the biggest explosions of scientific literature ever seen with over 128,000 papers published since January 2020.
The medical community is struggling to keep up with this growing torrent of new scientific papers and there is a growing urgency for a trusted solution to help them quickly find the information they need to understand the disease further.
Powered by artificial intelligence, Covid Insights operates as a powerful search engine where users can search the digital research papers by keyword, find links between symptoms and drugs, and request alerts on new research related to their query as soon as it is published.
The platform has been backed by a number of high-profile doctors and partners including former BMJ Director Matthew Harker, Critical Care Research Lead for Wales Dr Matt Morgan, and former NHS Director and co-founder of Aequum Health Dr Meuthia Endrojono-Ellis.
It is also supported by the Amazon Partner Network and will be initially promoted through the NHS-approved clinical messaging app Hospify, as well as directly to a UK-wide network of medical professionals.
Deeper Insights founder and CEO Jack Hampson was inspired to develop the platform by his sister’s own experience of COVID-19 in her role as a consultant at Kings College Hospital in London.
“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,” explains Jack.
“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 and author of the best-selling medical book ‘Critical’, commented: “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.”
James Flint, CEO of Hospify added: “We can see real benefits for clinical decision support from the Covid Insights platform, so we believe it is both timely and important to promote this to Hospify’s network of clinicians, many of whom urgently need trusted sources of information on the frontline.”
Covid Insights can be accessed for free today via any mobile or desktop web browser at https://covid.deeperinsights.com/.
