A Prototype for Interpretation of Sars-Cov-2 Tests Using Artificial Vision

Abstract:

Covid-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, so science has been trying to help mitigate its effects from its various fields of study. Machine learning methods can play an important role in identifying test results that reveal whether an individual has the disease. This degree work presents a prototype based on computer vision and machine learning techniques to automatically detect SARS-CoV-2 serology tests. The goal of the prototype is to identify and classify the serology test cassette result by Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin M indicators that are flagged after a test reaction time which is approximately 15 minutes. The results in the identification performed by the prototype are promising and ease its analysis, reducing the errors in the identification of the test and the interpretation of the results. The result is a prototype that allows to perform, simplify and improve the tasks of health professionals, which they must perform daily in the triage area.
