Developed a mirror that predicts disease

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a sort of 'magic mirror' that can observe the future; Clearly, it is not magic but a remarkable fusion of science and health-oriented technology. The device, called Wize Mirror, looks like a mirror in which we look each morning, but instead of just returning our image is able to predict when and how we will get sick. This is a system composed of cameras capable of operating at different wavelengths, and 3D scanners gas sensors to analyze the air we breathe and color, appearance or fat index skin for signs of disease; broad-spectrum cameras detect the pulse, breathing rate, or hemoglobin levels, and gas sensors to analyze the chemical level changes. Thus Mirror Wize get all possible data and examined in a minute to notice anomalies or provide advice on health. Its development was coordinated by the Research Council of Italy, and with funding from seven European countries; next year the first real clinical trials in France and Italy will take place. If the measurements of the mirror match those taken by medical devices, Wize Mirror will become a commercial product, and maybe in a few years everyone has a magic mirror looking after their health.
