About the solution
A group of volunteers in Portugal launched the ICAM-COVID19 project, to provide scientific information to doctors about the new coronavirus and its associated disease.
The project was initiated by Alexandre Teixeira, a final year medical student at Universidade do Algarve, who was aware that doctors needed a place where they could easily find accurate and updated scientific information about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and Covid-19. So, Alexandre put together a team of volunteers made up of other medical students, doctors, researchers and even companies.
At the project's website, the underlying algorithm searches PubMed, BioRxiv and MedRxiv, the three major repositories for biomedical information, for new articles about Covid-19 and adds them to the public database. Then, a team is responsible for revising every new publication and creating a small summary in Portuguese, as well as organizing them by theme and relevance.
The platform also has a feature that allows people to subscribe and receive notifications whenever a new article is revised, in their area of interest.
