Diagnosis of COVID-19 based on the processing of images from dermatological and rheumatic lesions

General Objective: Support the diagnosis of COVID-19 using an algorithm based on the robust processing of images from dermatological and rheumatic lesions.

Specific objectives

  • Describe the dermatological and rheumatic manifestations that most frequently occur during the evolution of COVID-19.
  • Build an image bank with clinical and laboratory elements compatible with the identified manifestations.
  • Identify, analyze, classify and categorize in a robust way amounts of information that allow modeling clinical behaviors.
  • Design processing algorithms to estimate whether images of dermatological and rheumatic manifestations could represent a clinical suspicion of COVID-19.
