Google AI scans your eyes to predict the risk of heart disease

Alphabet Health Science Company Verily recently announced a series of projects, from the development of medical research-specific smart watches to the mass production of infected mosquitoes and reduce the number of mosquito infectious diseases, etc. Until recently, the scientists carried out a new study more thoroughly After observing the patient's eyes, assess the risk of heart disease.

The paper, published in the journal Nature Biomedical: Biomedical Engineering on the 19th, said that using an artificial intelligence algorithm to scan the eye and analyzing samples through mechanical learning can predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in sample patients such as age, Sex and blood pressure Eye scan compared to the traditional blood test methods, will be more convenient and faster, accuracy and the current method is quite.

Verily said the algorithm was built to take the medical data of 300,000 patients and the eye's scan map, using neural networks and deep learning to turn the data into algorithms and simply enter the new eye scan to export the results.

In the above study, artificial intelligence only scans the eye image at a 45 degree range, and more research is needed in the future, including whether or not to use different sized images, and how large a library of AI data should be provided, etc. Eye scan technology is still not enough clinical trials, but still a very promising starting point.
