  Research team creates statistical model to predict COVID-19 resistance Proof-of-concept study shows promise for machine-learning system that uses electronic health data to make its predictions "If we can identify which people are naturally able to avoid infection by SARS-CoV-2, we may be able to learn -- in addition to societal and behavioral factors -- which genetic and environmental differences influence their defense against the virus," says lead study author Karen (Kai-Wen) Yang, a biomedical engineering graduate student in the Translational Informatics Research and Innovation Lab at The Johns Hopkins University.

For its study, the research team set out to determine if a machine-learning statistical model could use health characteristics stored in electronic health records -- providing patient data such as comorbidities (other medical conditions) and prescribed medication...
