FaceAge is a groundbreaking AI technology developed by researchers at Mass General Brigham that uses facial images to determine biological age, an indicator of how well an individual might respond to medical treatments. Unlike chronological age, biological age can vary significantly among individuals, as demonstrated by celebrities like Paul Rudd and Wilford Brimley at the same chronological age. The tool's initial testing has focused on cancer patients, with future plans for broader applications. While promising for enhancing health diagnostics, concerns about its applicability on varied demographics and those who have undergone cosmetic procedures remain, highlighting the need for further research.
FaceAge is an AI tool created by scientists at Mass General Brigham in Boston that predicts biological age using facial analysis, potentially improving patient diagnosis.
By assessing features such as skin folds and facial hollows, FaceAge offers a more accurate reflection of health than mere chronological age can.
The model's initial research focused on cancer patients, but future applications may include a broader range of health conditions to enhance treatment efficacy.
FaceAge has raised questions about its effectiveness on individuals with plastic surgery and its applicability across different demographics, particularly for people of color.
