Sorry, Samsung — Google says its latest AI smartphone camera tool can measure bodies better than the Galaxy Watch's bioelectric sensors
In the midst of a health wearables arms race, Google's been quietly developing health scanning tools for your smartphone's camera instead.
Google is developing an advanced AI-powered smartphone camera tool capable of estimating body fat more accurately than Samsung's Galaxy Watch's bioelectric sensors, according to researchers. The new feature, called PhotoScan, is an investigational deep learning framework that uses smartphone photos and compares them to medical-grade DXA scans to achieve near-DXA accuracy in predicting body composition.
Although not yet publicly available, the research demonstrates the feasibility of smartphone-based body composition estimation, potentially replacing traditional BIA sensors in the future.
