An artificial intelligence based first-line defence against COVID-19: digitally screening citizens via a chatbot with 96.32% accuracy in 36+ languages

To combat the pandemic of COVID-19, numerous governments try to pre-screen potential cases. Symptoma is a digital health assistant that can differentiate more than 20,000 diseases with an accuracy of more than 90%. Symptoma uses a set of diverse clinical cases combined with case reports of COVID-19 to accurately identify positive COVID-19 patients. Symptoma (www.symptoma.com) can accurately distinguish COVID-19 in 96.32% of clinical cases. When considering only COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors, Symptoma identified 100% of those infected when presented with only three signs. Lastly, Symptoma ’s accuracy far exceeds that of simple “yes-no” questionnaires widely available online, hence being a key tool in the global fight against COVID-19.
