Abstract
Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic affecting over 10 million people in 160 countries. Its spread, and the medical communities' response, cast light on an important deficiency in the speed and effectiveness for evidence-based recommendations to reach the bedside in academic medical practice. We built a clinical decision support tool on the avoMD platform that systematizes and personalizes the treatment of COVID-19 by bringing point-of-care access to the guidelines specific to individual cases to the clinician's hands. This app has the potential to improve the mortality for COVID-19.
