Recently, researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA) and the Baghdad Medium Technical University (MTU) jointly published a paper at AIP (American Institute of Physics, American Physical Society) stating that they developed an AI intelligent system that used a web camera to capture Tongue images of 50 patients with diabetes, renal failure, and anemia were analyzed using image processing techniques. Experimental results show that the AI intelligent system can diagnose the above three diseases through tongue images with an accuracy of up to 94%, and can send information to patients or medical service providers explaining the color of the tongue and the diagnosis of the disease.
