Take a selfie, know your healthie!
How does it work?
We combine neuroscience, psychology, physiology and Deep Learning to produce an Affective AI engine that we call DeepAffex. It is the intersection between Affective Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
Results
Results processed by our DeepAffex™ engine are then sent back to your device for display and further analysis. A sample of the results DeepAffex™ provides include: Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Stress and more.
Why is it needed?
Blood pressure monitoring and other health diagnostics could one day be as simple as taking a smartphone selfie
How does it improve life?
Video Capture
TOI™ starts by capturing images of the subject using any conventional video camera including those found in a smartphone, laptop or tablet.
Face Detection and Tracking
TOI™ automatically detects and tracks your face identifying key regions of interest (ROIs).
Blood Flow Data Extraction
Human skin is translucent. Light and its respective wavelengths are reflected at different layers below the skin and can be used to reveal blood flow information in the human face. This information is captured by and contained in conventional video images. TOI™ extracts this information and sends it securely up to the cloud to be processed by DeepAffex™, our cloud-based Affective AI engine.
Signal Processing and Deep Learning
Extracted facial blood flow data is sent up to the cloud where our DeepAffex™ engine applies advanced signal processing and Deep Learning AI models to predict physiological and psychological affects.
