Now Google AI Predicts Heart Disease From Retina Scan

The algorithm could distinguish the retinal images of a smoker from that of a non-smoker 71 per cent of the time.

Your eyes are indeed the windows to your heart!

Researchers at Google have developed a new artificial intelligence system that can accurately predict the risk of heart attack, high BP or stroke by scanning images of people's retina, according to a new study published in the Nature Biomedical Engineering journal.

The algorithm, which has been created by Google AI and Verily Life Sciences, was fairly accurate at predicting the risk of a cardiovascular event.
