AI model predicts cancer survival from facial features in new study
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed an AI system that estimates biological age and predicts cancer survival from a single facial photograph. Published in The Lancet Digital Health, the tool was trained on over 40 million images and focuses on specific facial regions to assess health risks. While promising for personalized treatment decisions, experts caution that the technology is not yet ready for clinical use and requires more diverse data.
