Symptom-Based COVID19 Screening Model Combined with Surveillance Information

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 25:294:719-720. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220569.

Abstract

As the number of cases for COVID-19 continues to grow unprecedentedly, COVID-19 screening is becoming more important. In this study, we trained machine learning models from the Israel COVID-19 dataset and compared models that used surveillance indices of COVID-19 and those that did not. The AUC scores were 0.8478±0.0037 and 0.8062±0.005 with and without surveillance information, respectively, and there was significant improvement when the surveillance information was used.

Keywords: COVID-19; Machine Learning; Symptomatic screening.
