AI analyzes faces to predict cancer survival
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital developed a tool called FaceSurvival to analyze facial images and estimate the risk of death in cancer patients. The study showed that individuals in the top quartile of risk have more than three times the likelihood of dying within 90 days compared to those in the lowest risk group, with a 21% increase in death risk for those who appeared five or more years older, and a 17% decrease for those who appeared younger by the same amount. The test was conducted on more than 3,820 patients, and the researchers studied the impact of biological age on the mortality risk, confirming that the face accurately reflects the level of danger.
