But still, COVID-19 continues to spread rapidly across the world snatching away the lives of many. Hence, in a bid to help the Central and the State Governments and also the people, a team of students and faculty from Rajalakshmi Group of Institutions, has developed a breakthrough software to detect COVID-19. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) tool is based on neural network to detect COVID-19, CAP (Community-Acquired Pneumonia) and normal condition from chest X-Ray images. A whopping number of 14148 images were used in the training process and the tool has testing accuracy of 95.4 percent. The highlights of the tool are: * No installation required. It is a simple website which can be accessed from anywhere. * As simple as uploading a photo on social media. * The result will come within a second of uploading. Dr. S. Rajkumar, Professor & Head, Department of Biomedical Engineering; Dr. V. Sapthagirivasan, Professor, BME; Mr.V.Rajaraman, Assistant Professor, CSE; Mr. Ashwin Ramesh III Year CSE ( student ) are the members of the team that developed the unique software.
