Besides vaccination, as an effective way to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19, fast and accurate screening of individuals to test for the disease is yet necessary to ensure public health safety. We propose COVID-Net UV, an end-to-end hybrid spatio-temporal deep neural network architecture, to detect COVID-19 infection from lung point-of-care ultrasound videos captured by convex transducers. COVID-Net UV comprises a convolutional neural network that extracts spatial features and a recurrent neural network that learns temporal dependence. After careful hyperparameter tuning, the network achieves an average accuracy of 94.44 goal with COVID-Net UV is to assist front-line clinicians in the fight against COVID-19 via accelerating the screening of lung point-of-care ultrasound videos and automatic detection of COVID-19 positive cases.
