HeHealth, an AI company, has developed technology to scan penis pictures for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), targeting people with penises and marketed to Gen Z women. The company's unproven tech is in an FDA gray zone, raising concerns about privacy and efficacy.
HeHealth, a men's health startup, has launched Calmara, a service that uses AI to analyze photos of genitalia for signs of STIs. However, the accuracy of the AI is questionable, as it only covers visually-presenting infections and is designed to work with penises only. The company's claims of accuracy range from 65% to 94.4%, and its use of augmented images in training data raises concerns. Additionally, issues around consent, privacy, and potential abuse make it clear that this AI STI test should not be used.
