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 to identify suboptimal health conditions and provide proper intervention timely.
