A simple hand photo may be the key to detecting a serious disease
Researchers at Kobe University developed a deep-learning AI that detects acromegaly from back-of-hand and clenched-fist photos in a multicenter observational study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology. The approach targets a disease that often causes long diagnostic delays and can shorten life expectancy if untreated.
