Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now of global concern due to its rapid dissemination across the globe. The rapid spread of this viral infection, along with many of its unknown aspects, has posed new challenges to the health care systems. The main challenging effects of COVID-19 are rapid dissemination through close contact and varying clinical severity among different individuals. Furthermore, the medical staff in endemic areas are becoming exhausted and deal with a considerable level of job burnout, which can negatively affect their medical decision making. Also, due to the variable pulmonary manifestations of COVID-19, some physicians may misdiagnose patients. To overcome these issues, we proposed a web-based software to aid physicians in detecting possible COVID-19 cases through online consultation with different specialists and educate the not-well experienced physicians. Our results demonstrated that this software could improve the diagnostic rate for not-well experienced physicians.
由于其在全球范围内的迅速传播，2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）现在引起了全球关注。这种病毒感染的迅速传播，以及许多未知的方面，给医疗保健系统带来了新的挑战。COVID-19 的主要挑战影响是通过密切接触迅速传播，以及不同个体之间的临床严重程度不同。此外，流行地区的医务人员正在疲惫不堪，并面临相当程度的职业倦怠，这可能会对他们的医疗决策产生负面影响。此外，由于 COVID-19 的肺部表现多变，一些医生可能会误诊患者。为了克服这些问题，我们提出了一个基于网络的软件，通过与不同专家的在线咨询来帮助医生检测可能的 COVID-19 病例，并为经验不足的医生提供教育。我们的结果表明，该软件可以提高经验不足医生的诊断率。
