What is it?

• Otherwise known as FaceScan, it’s a multi-platform vital signs and cardiovascular health risks using facial blood flow analysis.
• It’s also a 3rd party scan technology licensed by Nuralogix.

What did I do?

• I didn’t work on the tech (that was the Nuralogix team), but I did all the integration docs, all designs, tutorials and marketing videos.

How does it work?

It looks under your skin like the Predator vision . Cool research papers below:

• Transdermal optical imaging revealed different spatiotemporal patterns of facial cardiovascular activities.
• Transdermal Optical Imaging Reveal Basal Stress via Heart Rate Variability Analysis: A Novel Methodology Comparable to Electrocardiography

What do you need?

• Table, chair, light, camera, and a person.

How is it used?

• Health Insurance, corporate wellness, telehealth, preventative health.
• Combined health metrics: Blood pressure and, to some extent, the risk predictions for cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. This is used in the BHA algorithms.

Challenges

• Data Inaccuracy, unreliability: Anxiety, facial age, and blood glucose, are considered inaccurate. Breathing rate was also unreliable.
• Measurement Discrepancy: The out-of-the-box blood pressure measurement differs significantly from clinical guidelines.
• App Store Guidelines, Regulatory Compliance: Google and Apple have stringent rules for medical apps (can’t show blood pressure!).
• UI Customisation: The option to create a custom user interface was available but never utilised. I still did the UCDL though. Stretch goals!
• Skin tone: Dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV, V) were not properly factored into the lighting scene inspection and capture process.
