Wow, this looks amazing... What is the age range that it can accurately work with?

@slava_bobrov Currently, we have designed a clinical trial for 18-30yrs old subjects. However, we've tested our algorithms internally and it works for 18-60yrs pls range, not clinically tested though. What's your thought on that? :)

@slava_bobrov @ppoddar Better make that super fucking clear to every user. Ethically.

@slava_bobrov @school_4_ants it is clearly labelled in the website as well as on the app when you take the selfie. Maybe try the app and let us know what you think about it? :)

I worked on this product from the very beginning. I'm incredibly proud of being supported by an amazing team that brought DocMe - a medical device - to market in under six months.

Good job! How do you deal with personal data and GDPR? :)

@benoit_chambon We only send non-identifiable parts of a face on AWS for processing. Also, most of the personal data is stored on device + when your phone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID or Face ID, all of your health and fitness data in the DocMe app is encrypted. Your health data stays encrypted while in transit and at rest.

Wow I can't believe it can do all of that just by looking at a photo of you😳🔥!

@jack_davis7 Well, we use video selfie of 15s in 60FPS (i.e. 900 frames/images). DocMe uses a novel variant of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology to extract blood flow information from imperceptible colour changes in the face that are captured in those images. Our technology uses time-series data to get certain physiological signs through a series of signal processing methods to measure five vital signs viz. heart rate, respiratory rate, heart rate variability, peripheral tissue oxygen saturation and blood pressure with medical-grade accuracy.

This is really interesting. How does it work? (At least, what can you share about how it works?)

@nikkielizdemere Sure. Our technology relies on the scientific principle called remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) which is a contactless technology that measures the volumetric variations of blood circulation by detecting the variance of red, green and blue (RGB) light reflection changes from the skin. The rPPG wave describes these periodical changes in the attenuation of light energy in the light wave’s pathway, and can thus be used to detect the periodical changes in blood flow.

DocMe doesn't require any new external hardware devices or wearables. This is a radically new approach that means DocMe takes advanced research in AI/ML (computer vision, convolution neural networks, transformer mechanism etc.) and leverages them in a simple and attractive app that even my grandmother can figure out (she uses DocMe to check her heart rate and respiratory rate and doesn't need to use a finger-clip SpO2 monitor anymore).

Wow! Looks very useful. Great job! I can't wait when I try it. Congratulations!

@peteliev Did you have a chance to try the app? How did you like it?
Linus
That looks sick, can't wait to try that. Two questions here: 1. how do you make money off this? selling the data? 😬 2. are you interested in a business opportunity? I'm looking for a adjacent solution in an interesting industry. Cheers

@linusgeffarth 1. No, we do NOT sell user data. We run on a freemium model for premium features. 2. Sure - send an email to hello@perfexia.health :)

Cool stuffs, when is the Andriod version coming?

@kenmoo End of this month/early April. We are working hard on the Android version as we speak. Thanks for your interest. :)

coooooool. Checking it out now

@rick_mccartney Thx - let us know what you think about it? :)

Okay, here's my first impression - very sticky experience when testing the vitals. I didn't verify the results, but... they seem reasonable. What I would do if I were you - pull out all of the onboarding stuff, and just have a consent, and then show the interaction. As a user, there are so many ways for me to try stuff out without giving out a bunch of personal info, so it becomes an expectation. If I wasn't testing out a Product Hunt product, I would have deleted the app before I got to the actual feature
