COVID-19 Workshop: 1st International Workshop on AI and Digital Technologies in Coronavirus Pandemic and Beyond

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has dramatically impacted lives all around the world. The global research community has mobilized to respond with developing technology that can contribute not only to our understanding and management of the virus but also assist first responders and healthcare professionals. For example, robotic systems have been developed to assist healthcare workers, disinfect areas, and transport necessary supplies. Furthermore, technology has been advanced to allow telehealth, patient monitoring, COVID-19 testing, and contact tracing. In this workshop, we invite submissions related to any aspect of technology applied to combat the COVID-19 pandemic that will allow this active and late-breaking research to be presented, shared, and discussed.
