A new combination of single infrared light measurement and machine learning can be used to detect metabolic disorders and high blood pressure
Some common diseases could be easier and quicker to diagnose in future. A team from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Helmholtz Zentrum München has demonstrated in a representative study that infrared light measurements of blood plasma when combined with machine learning can be used to detect various metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The method also detected prediabetes, a precursor stage of diabetes that other diagnostic methods often overlook. Until now, separate tests have been required to detect the various diseases. ...
