Google built a camera-based tool to estimate body fat more accurately than wearables
TL;DR Wearables can estimate body fat using bioelectrical impedance analysis, but really accurate readings require X-ray scans. Google Research shares a new technique for delivering high-quality estimates based on selfies. Beyond just breaking down body composition, the system could also be used to predict insulin resistance. Most of us have a weight problem. According to the NIH, almost 3 out of 4 American adults (73.1%) are either overweight …
Google Pixel's On-Device AI Measures Body Fat and Muscle More Accurately Than Galaxy Watch
Google has introduced a new artificial intelligence feature for its Pixel smartphones that analyzes body measurements from simple camera scans, and early tests suggest it may outperform the bioelectric impedance sensors found in Samsung’s Galaxy Watch series. The development arrives as both companies push the boundaries of health tracking through different technological approaches, one relying on traditional hardware sensors and the other on adv…
Google test PhotoScan, an AI capable of estimating body composition using photographs and with results close to those of a DXA scanner
Google has presented PhotoScan, an evolution to measure body fat by improving traditional methods
Sorry, Samsung — Google says its latest AI smartphone camera tool can measure bodies better than the Galaxy Watch's bioelectric sensors
Google is building on its new Insulin Resistance Trends health feature with PhotoScanPhotoScan is 'an investigational deep learning framework' that can estimate body fat using a phone's camera with 'near DXA accuracy'It's not yet available to the public, but the research 'demonstrate[s] the feasibility' of such featuresAs the Google Pixel Watch 5 launched last week alongside a slew of new Pixel phones, one of the most interesting new development…
So far, it took elaborate medical scans to determine the exact distribution of fat in the body. Google uses Photoscan AI to show that simple 2D images could be sufficient in the future. read more on t3n.de
