Beijing: Checking chronic diseases such as diabetes can be as simple as checking the temperature of the nose, eyes or cheeks.
Different parts of the face are linked to different chronic diseases that can be detected by taking the temperature, researchers report.
Thermal cameras equipped with artificial intelligence can easily and quickly detect diseases in humans, researchers say.
Aging is a natural process, but AI-powered tools can help people achieve healthy old age and live disease-free lives, Peking University researcher Jiang Dongji said in a press release.
The researchers analyzed the facial temperatures of more than 2,800 Chinese people between the ages of 21 and 88 to see if these findings could be used to assess their health. They fed data into an AI program to identify key areas of the face where temperature correlated with age and general health.
