APP DETECTS BLOOD PRESSURE FROM A SELFIE

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

THE Anura app measures blood pressure by taking a 30-second video of the user’s face. Doctors say the app could help people avoid unnecessary visits to the GP.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE blood that flows through the veins in our face sits close to surface of the skin. As our heart beats, blood pulses through these veins, causing minute colour changes in our skin. These are detectable, even by a smartphone camera. The Anura is able to analyse these changes to give an accurate reading of our blood pressure.
