Artificial intelligence can now look inside your eyes to predict your risk of a heart attack. Researchers at Google and DeepMind trained an algorithm on retinal scans from nearly 300,000 patients. By analyzing the blood vessels at the back of the eye, the system learned to detect subtle patterns linked to cardiovascular health.
The AI can accurately predict a person's age, blood pressure, and smoking status just from a retina image. It can also estimate the risk of a major cardiac event within five years with remarkable accuracy. This matches the precision of traditional blood tests that require needle pricks and lab processing.
This breakthrough means routine eye exams could soon double as overall health screenings. Doctors could spot cardiovascular disease early without invasive procedures or long waiting times for test results. As artificial intelligence continues to advance in healthcare, simple scans might save millions of lives through early detection.
