How a photo of a patient’s face could predict whether they’ll survive cancer
Researchers say they’ve developed a new AI foundation model trained on more than 40 million facial photographs that can help predict mortality risk in patients with cancer.

TL;DR
- A new AI foundation model trained on over 40 million facial photographs has been developed.
- The AI can help predict mortality risk in cancer patients.
- This technology is based on earlier work from Mass General Brigham.
- The earlier system, FaceAge, estimated a person's biological age from a facial photograph.
