Face photos test to measure biological aging with AI for healthy adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines how FaceAge estimates change at different time points in healthy adults and identifies factors that affect these estimates. It aims to assess the consistency and reliability of the FaceAge algorithm and explore potential improvements. The study uses frontal face photographs collected under standard conditions and considers variables such as image quality and lighting. Brigham and Women’s Hospital leads the project with Boston-area collaboration. The findings could inform how facial-aging biomarkers are used in research and clinical contexts.
