Selfies could predict a person’s chance of surviving cancer, a study has suggested.
Doctors believe a new artificial intelligence tool that measures the “biological age” of a patient based on a photo of their face, could inform the type of cancer treatment they receive.
Knowing someone’s biological age, rather than their actual age, is a better predictor of someone’s overall health and life expectancy, a team from Mass General Brigham, a non-profit research group in the United States claims.
The FaceAge AI tool scans an image of a person’s face to estimate their biological age, which is based on factors including lifestyle and genetics.
