Dr. Gupta covers how telemedicine provides an opportunity for better, faster, and lower cost healthcare. The coronavirus pandemic is causing a sudden growth in the adoption of telehealth services.

It can be hard to keep track of all the numbers, statistics, and charts swirling around the internet -- we’re inundated with information that can be rapidly disseminated and dissected. To carve through some of the sludge, here’s a selected highlight of recent computer science related efforts to fight COVID-19. 

A rapidly assembled volunteer team of engineers, physicians, computer scientists, and others, centered at MIT, is working to implement a safe, inexpensive alternative for emergency use, which could be built quickly around the world.

Located on the MIT campus and named for fallen MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, who was killed in the line of duty on April 18, 2013, the center will provide care for members of the MIT community and individuals from the broader Cambridge community.

Aclinical team in Boston has reported being able to monitor a COVID-19 patient remotely, thanks to a device developed at CSAIL that can monitor a patient’s breathing, movement and sleep patterns using wireless signals.

A team led by MIT researchers and including experts from many institutions is developing a system that augments “manual” contact tracing by public health officials, while preserving the privacy of all individuals.

A company, founded by Marilyn Matz SM ’80 and CSAIL's Michael Stonebraker, helps pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and biotech companies turn data into insights.

Love is Blind's AI/data scientist Cameron Hamilton speaks with CSAIL's Rachel Gordon on his role as an AI/data scientist, finding love on the hugely popular Netflix show, and where he sees the future of digital dating.

With much of the U.S. in shutdown mode to limit the spread of the Covid-19 disease, a debate has sprung up about when the country might “reopen” commerce, to limit economic fallout from the pandemic. But as a new study co-authored by an MIT economist shows, taking care of public health first is precisely what generates a stronger economic rebound later.
