Eieling Technology Limited, a PolyU start-up co-founded by Prof. ZHENG Yongping, Director of the Research Institute for Smart Ageing, has recently launched the world’s first lightweight intelligent fatty liver detection device—FattaLab®. Weighing only 140 grams, this palm-sized portable device can complete fatty liver assessment within 30 seconds along with the use of mobile app, with a detection accuracy at medical-grade standards.
With one button, the device can automatically complete data collection and quality control analysis, and generate real-time output comprehensive reports through mobile terminal and app. The system’s built-in AI can automatically guide operators to identify the location of the liver, making it easy-to-use for non-professionals. This device marks a technological breakthrough from “estimation” to “diagnosis level” for fatty liver point-of-care assessment, and the entry of “early screening for liver disease” into the community and even daily lives. Because of its easy operation and high accessibility, FattaLab® will make an important transition from subcutaneous fat assessment to visceral fat quantification for overall health management, thus enabling identification of suboptimal health conditions and timely provision of proper intervention..
