We present the application to see health through selfie using your cell phone or other camera device.

The company NuraLogix, created the Anura application with the purpose of the user to see their health condition through the selfie.

The app manages to scan the user's selfie using a complex test that is based on artificial intelligence.

Then, the user will be able to know how his blood pressure is and if he can develop diabetes, with the 30-second scan.

See below for more features of the application:

  • It can scan the selfie to show the user's health condition;
  • Can be used on any device that has a selfie camera;
  • Its artificial intelligence received its training from data extracted from more than 40,000 people with different health conditions;
  • Your report brings risk assessments that the user has in relation to chronic conditions;
  • It cannot be used to give a diagnosis, but as an alert for the user to seek medical attention;
  • The Anura app can be downloaded, free of charge, on android It is iOS.

The app received its publicity at MWC 2023, when the creator company declared to BRG that the app should not be used to diagnose diseases, but to make the user aware of their health and to seek a doctor.

The app can be used, as said, on any type of device that has a selfie camera, as long as the environment is properly lit.

Then, the user must leave his face in the circle that is shown on the screen, waiting 30 seconds until the end of the scan.

The app uses Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) technology developed by NuraLogix, which is a new form of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology.

In simpler words, the app reflects light on key regions of the user's face and extracts information from blood flow.

So this data is sent to the cloud, artificial intelligence scans it and provides the results.

This data will not be kept on the company's servers and will all be deleted after the report is generated.

But it is still possible to have the scan history through the app.

The artificial intelligence used in Anura was trained using data from more than 40,000 patients with different conditions.

Its technology has been mentioned in 10 peer-reviewed research publications, with three more in the pipeline.

The company NuraLogix has 13 US patents.

The user can, with the app, check if he is at risk of developing chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and other mental health conditions.

Anura is able to show the user if his HbA1c is greater than 5.7% and if his fasting blood glucose is greater than 5.5mmol/L.

The measurements taken of blood pressure have a standard deviation of error that is less than 8mmHg.

How to use Anura?

Although its technology is very interesting, we say again that it is not used for diagnosis, but for testing the user's health.

The company is trying to get approvals to sell its technology for use in medical settings and in implementations in other devices.

It is also operating in conjunction with companies looking to give employees such technology.

Anura can be used in combination with other devices that are smart and capable of health monitoring.

It is also useful to help convince the user to go to the doctor more quickly in case they need to.
