Facial thermograms - application of facial recognition in the medical sector
Millions of people around the world have recurrent migraines, which are a nerve disease that can be very bad. This study finds a big difference in temperature in the frontal and temporal areas of the right brains of women who had headaches on one side only. Notably, the temperature trends of people who had pain on both sides did not change, which suggests that the diagnostic process may be more complex. More study with bigger groups is still required. Face thermography should still be read with care, though, because more research and proof are needed. Facial thermography has a lot of potential to help doctors diagnose headaches better and learn more about how they work on a neurophysiological level. The system was trained with 1980 images and then tried with 576 images. It got a score of 96.66% for accuracy.
