Our front-facing camera could diagnose cancer soon.
A new app being developed in the US could soon help people diagnose pancreatic cancer simply by taking a selfie.
Researchers at the University of Washington say they now have an app that can analyse the yellow discolouration in your eyes to help diagnose jaundice.
BiliScreen works by comparing the colour of the whites in your eyes to that of a pair of multicoloured glasses that must be worn during use.
