New AI tool can predict cancer survival by a single patient selfie, study suggests

Experts at Mass General Brigham, a nonprofit integrated academic healthcare system in Massachusetts, have developed a custom AI tool to predict cancer survival outcomes. By analysing a single selfie of a patient's face, the system can estimate biological age and identify those at the greatest risk of dying. This innovative AI tool suggests that a simple photograph could soon be used to determine a patient's chance of surviving cancer based on facial analysis.
