Contactless Video-based Monitoring
For contactless data extraction, Evexia uses rPPG (remote photoplethysmographic imaging). rPPG is a camera-based solution for contactless cardiovascular monitoring, proven to be as accurate as traditional PPG devices.
Contact-based Monitoring
MIT Media Lab's Joy Buolamwini and Timnit Gebru from Stanford's
research study (2018) demonstrated how three commercially released facial-analysis programs from major technology companies demonstrate both skin-type and gender biases. The conclusion supported by other researcher is that potentially, such applications are detremental and have consequences for those who fall under these categories.
Evexia has another approach for extracting measurements to cater for difficult scenarios. Evexia uses a contact-based solution which extracts a PPG signal when the user places their finger on the rear camera of a smartphone.
Evexia automatically detects when conditions are not ideal for contactless rPPG extraction and suggests using the contact-based extraction.
Monitoring Mental Stress
Evexia uses the Baevsky Stress Index and heart rate variability (SDNN and/or RRi raw data) measurements to calculate users’ stress levels and provides easy-to-read stress results on a 5 point scale: low, normal, mild, high, and extremely high. Our development partners are seasoned experts in the field of technology and AI. The features and functionality continuousley undergo various phases of testing, both in-house and externally at academic institutions (as part of clinical studies) and at medical labs.
Extracting Measurements
Health measurements are extracted from a video stream of exposed skin on the surface of a human face. The video stream is analysed with advanced AI and deep learning algorithms, including computer vision technology and signal processing. No identifiable features or demographic data (e.g., eyes, height, gender, weight, etc.) are needed. In approximately one minute, users can measure blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability (SDNN and/or RRi raw data), oxygen saturation, respiration rate, sympathetic stress, parasympathetic activity and pulse-respiration quotient.
Evexia runs on the user's device, enabling them to perform scans without connection to the internet. When offline, results will not be recorded in measurement history.
