It uses artificial intelligence to allow the \u201cCDC and other frontline organizations respond to these inquiries, freeing up doctors, nurses, administrators and other healthcare professionals to provide critical care to those who need it,\u201d according to Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPublic health organizations, hospitals and others on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response need to be able to respond to inquiries, provide the public with up-to-date outbreak information, track exposure, quickly triage new cases and guide next steps,\u201d wrote Hadas Bitran, group manager for Microsoft Healthcare Israel, and Jean Gabarra, general manager of health AI, in a blog post. \u201cMany have expressed great concern about the overwhelming demand COVID-19 is creating on resources such as urgent, emergency and nursing care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bot asks several questions about risk factors, like caring for someone sick and personal symptoms, and recommends various actions depending on the response, such as going to the doctor or calling emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blog post also says that the bot can be tailored to provide risk assessment based on CDC guidelines, clinical triage based on CDC protocols, up-to-date answers to frequently asked questions and COVID-19 worldwide metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several health care providers in the West and Southeast regions of the United States have also adopted the bot, according to the blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/us\/coronavirus-us-cases.html\" target=_blank>15,000 coronavirus cases<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft is providing the bot to the CDC free of
