Johns Hopkins using facial recognition technology for stroke care

Updated

Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Hospital is training a computer algorithm to recognize changes in a patient's face and identify signs of stroke.

By identifying stroke patients through facial recognition rather than brain scans or blood tests, clinicians can speed up the treatment process. The computer algorithm is being trained to recognize signs of stroke such as the paralysis of specific facial muscles or unusual eye movements.
