Google Street View could be used to predict coronary heart disease risk by analysing neighbourhood environments. A study, published in European Heart Journal, monitored everyday surroundings, including the quality of roads, buildings, and green spaces, and the role they play in determining heart health. Researchers were able to track the link between these environmental elements, including. the presence or absence of pollution, and risk of coronary. heart disease – a condition where the heart's arteries are blocked.
