AI Model Estimates Biological Age and Cancer Survival from Facial Photos
Researchers at Mass General Brigham developed an AI model called FAHR-Face that estimates biological age and predicts cancer survival chances from a single facial photograph. Trained on over 40 million images, the model uses two tools: one estimating biological age and another directly assessing survival risk. Published in The Lancet Digital Health, the technology offers a non-invasive method to aid personalized cancer treatment but requires further validation before clinical use, especially across diverse populations.
