Google Neural Network Can Predict Your Health Status From Your Retina

According to Scientific American. This data may even be enough to determine when someone is at high risk of a heart attack

Google’s research used a convolutional neural network, the same biologically inspired system used to identify objects in photos. However, these networks can do plenty of other things if you just train them on different data sets. Convolutional neural networks are able to analyze an overall image more like the human brain, without splitting it up into pieces. These networks can actually understand the content of an image, and they’re getting very good at it.
