Crazy new AI can tell if you're sick just by looking at your tongue

A groundbreaking AI health assistant has been developed to detect health conditions simply by analyzing the appearance of a patient's tongue. This innovative technology utilizes an algorithm that has demonstrated a remarkable accuracy rate of 98% in identifying various health issues, including COVID-19 and gastrointestinal problems. The research, published in the journal Technologies, involved analyzing 60 photos from patients at teaching hospitals in the Middle East.

The creation of this AI system was a complex process, starting with the collection of 5,200 tongue photos and their corresponding diagnoses, which were processed using six machine learning algorithms. The researchers emphasize that the color, thickness, and shape of the tongue can indicate a wide range of health conditions, making this AI a valuable tool for doctors. This approach not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also respects patient privacy, aligning with traditional medical practices that have been in place for centuries.
