AI tool uses face photos to estimate biological age and predict cancer outcomes

Researchers developed FaceAge, an AI tool that calculate’s a patient biological age from a photo of their face. In a new study, the researchers tied FaceAge results to health outcomes in people with cancer: When FaceAge estimated a younger age than a cancer patient’s chronological age, the patient did significantly better after cancer treatment, whereas patients with older FaceAge estimates had worse survival outcomes.
