– A new AI machine learning model can accurately diagnose illnesses by looking at a patient’s tongue
– The technology is inspired by traditional Chinese medicine practices that have used the tongue for diagnosing ailments for over 2,000 years
– Tongue color, shape, and thickness can reveal health issues such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, and gastrointestinal problems
– The AI model trained on data sets of tongue images and achieved a high accuracy rate of over 98 percent in detecting different ailments
– Researchers believe the AI system could be integrated into medical facilities for efficient disease screening.
