I can probably look into your eyes and predict it too.

I would trust this "tool" more if it wasn't AI and a qualified human took his time.

I can look in a bag of chips and predict I’ll have heart issues…

This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridology

I have a family member who believes in iridology and I've argued against it, asking why a problem in our kidney would change a specific part of our eyeball. That would be an extraordinary thing and I need to see some evidence.

I know the retina is different than the iris, but it seems equally extraordinary that a heart problem would show up in the eyeball. I guess we'll wait and see. Hopefully we get some good scientific answers and reproducible results along the way.

I have some bad news about my retina.

I'm not sure about this discussion AI but I'm an eye doctor and the eyes definitely can tell a lot about someone's health. We can see signs of diabetes, hypertension, systemic inflammation, etc. I'm assuming the AI is looking at retina arteries and signs of diabetic and hypertensive changes to qualify the rush of heart attack.

If you are curious what diabetes in the eye looks like just Google diabetic retinopathy.

Iridology is bs though

I doubt it's a "heart problem showing up in your eyeball". Rather, it's likely that the eyeball is just a convenient place to non-invasively look at the structure of small blood vessels. And various cardiovascular conditions show up in small blood vessels all over your body. It likely has nothing to do with your eyeballs specifically. I.e. if a portion of your upper arm were translucent, this same methodology could likely be applied there as well. It's just that a translucent upper arm is not part of most human's biology.

There are already well established methods of examining the back of your eyeball for other evidence of other conditions.

I can look at the history of men in my father's family and know my risk of heart disease, I'll suddenly die of a blood clot or heart attack in my mid-late 70's.

Best way to go as far as I'm concerned, better than suffering through cancer or dementia, and thank god there's zero history of ALS in either side of my family.

Which is a good start! Definitely something that should be regulated at the federal level tho. With HEFTY fines that don’t allow it to be just a cost of doing business when you get caught occasionally.
