3D body scanner with AI predicts metabolic syndrome risk

Mayo Clinic researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) with an advanced 3D body-volume scanner—originally developed for the clothing industry—to help doctors predict metabolic syndrome risk and severity. The combination of tools offers doctors a more precise alternative to other measures of disease risk like body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio, according to findings published in the European Heart Journal—Digital Health.
