How Our Technology Works

Light Analysis

Light from surrounding environment or device torch penetrates the skin and reflects off blood vessels to camera.

Camera Calibration

Vitalism.ai connects to camera and receives captured video stream. If necessary, camera parameters automatically adjust to optimize video feed.

Luminance Correction

When required, light levels are processed to improve vital signs accuracy.

ROI Detection

Region of interest is cropped from full image.

RGB Data Extraction

Skin detection is performed on each ROI followed by extraction of RGB (red, green, blue values).

Vital Signs Calculations

Each vital sign is calculated based on varying quantities of data. Results appear within 10 sec. to 1 min.

How Do We Extract Health Measurements?

Vitalism.ai extracts health measurements from a video stream of exposed skin on the surface of a human face. The video stream is analyzed with advanced AI and deep learning algorithms, including computer vision technology and signal processing. No identifiable features, such as eyes, are needed.

In approximately one minute, users can measure blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability,oxygen saturation, breathing rate,respiratory rate.

Vitalism.ai’s technology runs on the device, enabling users to perform scans without connection to the internet. Vitalism SDK has absolutely no access to end-user’s health data.

How Do We Extract Health Measurements?
Contactless Video-based rPPG

Contactless Video-based rPPG

For contactless data extraction, Vitalism.ai uses rPPG (remote photoplethysmographic imaging). rPPG is a camera-based solution for contactless cardiovascular monitoring, proven to be as accurate as traditional PPG devices. Our technology measures the changes in red, green, and blue light reflected from the skin and quantifies the contrast between specular reflection and diffused reflection.

Contact-based PPG

Contact-based PPG

For challenging conditions, Vitalism.ai has implemented a backup contact-based solution. The contact-based solution extracts a PPG signal when users place a finger on the rear camera of a smartphone. Vitalism.ai automatically detects when conditions are not ideal for contactless rPPG extraction and suggests using the contact-based extraction.

Heart Rate (HR)

The human heart consists of four chambers: the left atrium, the left ventricle, the right atrium, and the right ventricle. The atriums act as receiving chambers, contracting to push blood into the ventricles. The ventricles serve as pumps, transporting oxygenated blood to the body's tissues and deoxygenated blood and carbon dioxide back to the heart. Heartbeats are composed of phases of contraction and relaxation

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Heart rate (HR) is the number of heart beats per minute. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the fluctuation in the time intervals between adjacent heartbeats (RR intervals – RRi) [26]. HRV is generated by heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system processes and reflects regulation of autonomic balance, blood pressure, blood vessel diameter, gas exchange, gut, and heart.

Respiration Rate (RR)

The main function of the respiratory system is gas exchange, where oxygen is transferred from the environment into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is expelled. When inhaling, air passes to the lungs and gas exchange occurs when oxygen diffuses into the lung capillaries in exchange with carbon dioxide. Exhalation starts after gas exchange and the air containing carbon dioxide returns to the external ambient through the nose or mouth. The respiratory system also has secondary functions like filtering, warming, and humidifying the inhaled air.

Blood Pressure (BP)

The main function of the respiratory system is gas exchange, where oxygen is transferred from the environment into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is expelled. When inhaling, air passes to the lungs and gas exchange occurs when oxygen diffuses into the lung capillaries in exchange with carbon dioxide. Exhalation starts after gas exchange and the air containing carbon dioxide returns to the external ambient through the nose or mouth. The respiratory system also has secondary functions like filtering, warming, and humidifying the inhaled air.
