It’s hard to tell how the cloud, machine learning, AI, etc., are having an effect in the fight against the coronavirus. In this segment, we chat with Dr. David Shaywitz, a Harvard-trained MD and research scientist in Silicon Valley who’s an expert on medicine and drug development, especially in relation to digital health and IT. Shaywitz explains how AI is being used to track the spread of the virus and the role of information technologies in vaccine development.

In the podcast we mention a useful dashboard, Global Cases by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering, from Johns Hopkins University. Here are the desktop and mobile versions of the dashboard.
