À propos de cet audio
In today's podcast we talk with Dr. Manel Puig Domingo about an innovative study he spearheaded and outlined in a recent paper published in the journal PITUITARY. The paper raises the possibility that AI algorithms and machine learning could provide a game-changing approach to the early diagnosis of this complex disease, which now takes an average of 6 to 10 years to diagnose. The paper outlines an AI-driven facial recognition system, AcroFace, that could detect acromegaly by analyzing facial photographs. These early findings present a system that is 93% accurate. If further research goes forward and the program is validated and deployed, it promises to save years of undetected disease. It will undoubtedly prevent the development of complications from related conditions, transform acromegaly from a late-diagnosed crippling disease to an early-detected, more manageable condition without the pesky comorbidities, and serve as a model for other rare diseases with facial features.
