AI May Screen Heart Disease from Tongue and Face Photos
Original: Can AI screen for heart disease using photos of your tongue and face? # Health # AI # HeartDisease # CoronaryHeartDiseas
Researchers are exploring whether artificial intelligence can detect signs of coronary heart disease simply by analysing photographs of a person's tongue and face. The approach draws on traditional Chinese medicine diagnostics, which have long linked tongue appearance to heart health, and is being framed as a non-invasive, low-cost screening tool for preventive medicine.
Why now: The idea of diagnosing heart disease from ordinary photos is a striking blend of AI, health tech and traditional medicine that sparks curiosity and debate.
