Binah.ai, a web-based health platform, says its app can check someone’s blood pressure simply by focusing a smartphone camera at the person’s face.

The video-based monitoring tool uses artificial intelligence to monitor heart-rate variability, oxygen saturation, respiration charge, and many more.

Users can tap into the system to measure their blood pressure, heart rate, heart variability rate and more.

Sit still, smile and shoot – smile optional. That’s essentially all health insurance members, patients and customers of other businesses using a newly expanded technology by Binah.ai will need to do to get a blood pressure reading.

Binah.ai is using the smartphone camera for contactless, video-based blood pressure measurement, which the company says is a first-of-its kind technology, thereby enabling remote patient monitoring.

Health platform Binah.ai announced this week that it added blood pressure monitoring to the suite of health tools available on its app, which is available through partnered businesses.

Solutions such as remote patient monitoring provides patients, caregivers, and home health aides alike, the ability to record critical information such as a patient’s vital signs, physical and mental state, eating patterns, and medication adherence.

Binah.ai can capture vital signs through the camera of a smartphone, tablet or laptop in under a minute.

Once installed, an employee, student or any other team member just has to look at their device’s camera for the AI to determine vital signs like heart rate, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in a couple of minutes.

Binah.ai can facilitate triage using a video app based on Binah.ai SDK, a remote patient’s condition can be diagnosed accurately, and can serve as a recommended tool for emergency response teams.

Remote vital signs monitoring can help prevent burnout by empowering health care providers to make better, faster decisions and to provide more timely treatment, while helping patients stay on top of their symptoms and allowing medical facilities to cut costs, improve care and optimize the safety of their environments.
