英国科学家最新研发出一种可诊断儿童是否患有遗传疾病的电脑软件。“辨脸识病”的三维图像技术有助于及早发现儿童遗传疾病，为治疗争取时间。这种筛查手段的诊病准确率在90％以上，可以节约时间，减轻病童和家长的压力。
The facial features of children can be analysed in three dimensions to help doctors assess whether a child is suffering from one of the many hundreds of rare genetic disorders that can affect the development of the face and brain. A scientist has developed a way of feeding 3-D images of a child＇s face and head into a computer so that the software can analyse the relative position of all the facial features and Compare them against a database of genetic disorders.
