“Selfies” could be used to detect heart disease

New research uses artificial intelligence to analyze facial photos

Sending a “selfie” to the doctor could be an easy and inexpensive way to detect heart disease, according to researchers.
Their study is the first to show that it is possible to use a deep learning computer algorithm to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) by analyzing four photographs of a person’s face.
