Malaysian firm MY EG Services Berhad has created an artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronavirus risk profiling solution for Chinese visitors.
The fully-automated system is capable of historical geolocation and anomaly tracking for travellers from China.
It is powered by analytics of numerous available data points, including visitors’ previous known locations, heart rate and blood pressure readings. The data is crossed-referenced with public transport ridership and any exposure to locations with infections incidences.
The system also offers an ongoing arrangement with the visitor in the country. This alerts health authorities of any abnormalities, allowing immediate measures.
