BANGKOK (NNT) – King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, has again introduced new technology in the hope of raising Thailand’s healthcare capability.
The items of technology invented by King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang together with King Mongkut Chaokhun Tahan Hospital Foundation included Thailand’s first ever Ai-operated detector able to detect a mutating Coronavirus.
According to the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of KMITL, Dr. Anan Srikiatkhachorn, there are currently eight major coronavirus strains that are being monitored worldwide as they tend to mutate more than others, as well as being able to cause more severe symptoms. The detector will read the genome of the virus and report if there is a risk of mutation, so further medical techniques can be applied.
Meanwhile, KMITL Chancellor, Dr. Suchatvee Suwansawat today added that the university is always inventing new equipment in order to keep Thailand sustainable in healthcare. Earlier, the university unveiled new medical equipment such as an emergency ventilator, an Ai-operated patient monitoring system, UV light disinfecting machine and other inventions.
