Conchita Díaz, from Google: "A selfie can detect diabetic retinopathy and heart problems"

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share with you something interesting that I have read recently and that could be of great help to our community.During the Sun & Amp conference; Tech, Conchita Díaz de Google Cloud spoke about how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing disease detection, especially diabetes.

Conchita explained that they have developed an algorithm that can detect diabetic retinopathy, a complication that can lead to blindness, with just a selfie!

This is especially useful in countries where access to ophthalmologists is limited.Imagine that with a simple photo of the bottom of the eye, taken with your mobile, an alert can be sent to a hospital to send you the necessary medication.In addition, this technology could also help detect heart problems in the future.

The AI ​​is not only helping in the detection of diseases.Conchita also mentioned how the lives of people with visual disabilities can improve.For example, a mobile device hung from the neck could help identify what is around a blind person, giving them more independence.

Even for those who have no vision problems, AI can be useful.In the Amazon, they are using helmets with AI to detect poisonous snakes that are almost invisible to the human eye.

In short, AI is here to improve our lives in many ways.Conchita encouraged us all to train in AI and take advantage of the free resources available on the Internet.It is a fascinating world full of possibilities!

What do you think?

Do you think this technology seems useful?

Do you think it could have a positive impact on your daily life?

Greetings to all!
