A 30-second selfie video can now screen for hypertension and diabetes
University of Tokyo researchers just demonstrated an AI system that screens for high blood pressure and diabetes using a brief 5-to-30-second video of your face and palm. It analyzes micro-changes in skin blood flow with up to 94% accuracy for hypertension and 75% for diabetes, completely skipping cuffs and needles. Why it matters: If miniaturized into smartphones, contactless daily health checkups could finally become a reality.
