As Canadian health officials continue to double down on mitigating the spread of COVID-19, a multidisciplinary collaboration has begun between Providence Health Care (PHC), Microsoft Canada and computer vision researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Together, these organizations have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) powered solution to monitor the effectiveness of COVID-19 social distancing policies and guidelines at PHC’s St. Paul’s Hospital campus in Vancouver, B.C. This solution will help them plan for and maintain daily operations and routine procedures in the coming months.
