A simple selfie could hold hidden clues to one’s biological age — and even how long they’ll live.
That’s according to researchers from Mass General Brigham, who developed a deep-learning algorithm called FaceAge.
Using a photo of someone’s face, the artificial intelligence tool generates predictions of the subject’s biological age, which is the rate at which they are aging as opposed to their chronological age.
FaceAge also predicts survival outcomes for people with cancer, according to a press release from MGB.
