The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic affected more than 186 million people with over 4 million deaths worldwide by June 2021. The magnitude of which has strained global healthcare systems. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) scans have a potential role in the diagnosis and prognostication of COVID-19. Designing a diagnostic system which is cost-efficient and convenient to operate on resource-constrained devices like mobile phones would enhance the clinical usage of chest CT scans and provide swift, mobile, and accessible diagnostic capabilities. This work proposes developing a novel Android application that detects COVID-19 infection from chest CT scans using a highly efficient and accurate deep learning algorithm. It further creates an attention heatmap, augmented on the segmented lung parenchyma region in the CT scans through an algorithm developed as a part of this work, which shows the regions of infection in the lungs. We propose a selection approach combined with multi-threading for a faster generation of heatmaps on Android Device, which reduces the processing time by about 93 COVID-19 in this work is tested with F1 score and accuracy, both of 99.58 sensitivity of 99.69 of COVID diagnosis from CT scans. This work will be beneficial in high volume practices and help doctors triage patients in the early diagnosis of the COVID-19 quickly and efficiently.
