Handprint analysis to predict genetically based traits

摘要

The present disclosure relates to techniques for predicting a genetically based trait using handprints. In one embodiment, a method generally includes receiving a digital image of a person's handprint. A computing device extracts features from the digital image using at least one feature-extraction technique and inputs the features into a machine-learning model trained to predict at least one genetically based trait when such features are received as input. The machine-learning model predicts whether the user has one or more genetically based traits based on the values of the features. The computing device then sends the prediction to an application that presents the prediction to the user.
