Facial Recognition Intensity in Disease Diagnosis Using Automatic Facial Recognition

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is widely applied in different medical fields, including the diagnosis of various diseases on the basis of facial phenotypes, but there is no evaluation or quantitative synthesis regarding the performance of artificial intelligence. Here, for the first time, w...
