Shutterstock/Blend Images- A new system created by Verily and Google AI researchers can use photographs of the retina to predict risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
- The system works about as well as presently used predictive methods and is far less invasive.
- In a recent study, researchers could see what the artificial intelligence software was paying attention to as it studied the eye.
Your eyes might be the perfect windows into your heart.
At least, they're windows that Google-created artificial intelligence software can use to calculate your risk factors for heart disease.
According to a study recently published in the Nature Biomedical Engineering journal, an AI algorithm created by Google AI and Verily Life Sciences (an Alphabet subsidiary that spun off from Google) can predict whether a patient is likely to suffer a major cardiovascular event like a heart attack or stroke within five years, based on a photo of their retina.
