3D body-volume scanner with AI predicts metabolic syndrome risk more accurately than traditional measures.
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a 3D body-volume scanner, combined with AI, to predict metabolic syndrome risk and severity more accurately than traditional measures like BMI and waist-to-hip ratio. The technology, tested on 1,280 volunteers, can help clinicians identify those with the syndrome and at risk, potentially preventing serious health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and cognitive or liver disease.
