Google’s new AI algorithm predicts heart disease by looking at your eyes

Just being introduced..but I do like the concept of less invasive diagnostics:

"Scientists from Google and its health-tech subsidiary Verily have discovered a new way to assess a person’s risk of heart disease using machine learning. By analyzing scans of the back of a patient’s eye, the company’s software is able to accurately deduce data, including an individual’s age, blood pressure, and whether or not they smoke. This can then be used to predict their risk of suffering a major cardiac event — such as a heart attack — with roughly the same accuracy as current leading methods."
 
I worked for an eye doctor 30 years ago, that could spot the telltale signs in someone’s eyes. He prevented an imminent heart attack or stroke in a number of patients by emphasizing the importance of what he spotted, and they went on to their doctors, to find out they were, indeed on the verge.

If a doctor really pays attention they can actually prevent an imminent incident. Some are not as thorough or in tune, unfortunately, as others are.
doctors routinely check your eyes as an indicator of high blood pressure and its concomitant illness like heart disease and stroke.
