Remote Patient Vital Signs and Stress Control Mobile Application.
Anura Lite – Remote Patient Vital Signs and Stress Control Mobile Application
First of all, the science behind Anura is patented technology – TOI™.
In fact, using your phone’s video camera, Anura™ can measure, track and record your general wellness based on your facial blood flow.
How it works
Indeed, developers combine neuroscience, psychology, physiology and Deep Learning to produce an effective AI engine called DeepAffex. And, it is the intersection between Affective Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
Video Capture
Furthermore, 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
In fact, TOI™ automatically detects and tracks your face identifying critical regions of interest (ROIs).
Blood Flow Data Extraction
Actually, human skin is translucent. What is more, 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. Thus, this information is captured by and contained in conventional video images. Indeed, TOI™ extracts this information and securely sends it to the cloud to be processed by DeepAffex™, our cloud-based effective AI engine.
Signal Processing and Deep Learning
In addition, extracted facial blood flow data is sent to the cloud, where our DeepAffex™ engine applies advanced signal processing and Deep Learning AI models to predict physiological and psychological effects.
Results
And so, results processed by our DeepAffex™ engine will then be returned to your device for display and further analysis.
Furthermore, a sample of the results DeepAffex™ provides includes:
- Heart Rate (bpm)
- Breathing Rate (bpm)
- HRV (ms)
- Mental Stress Index
- BMI (kg/m2)
- Waist to Height Ratio (cm/cm)
- Facial Skin Age
- Body Shape Index
- General Wellness Sco

Backed by science
By the way, to ensure accuracy in our measurements, we have trained and validated our computational models against already well-established scientific instruments found in labs and clinics. Indeed, the accuracy and validity of our measurements have been tested at both Nuralogix and the university labs of our international collaborators.

ANURA™ IS NOT FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES
Finally, don’t forget that Anura™ is not a substitute for the clinical judgement of a health care professional. With this in mind, Anura™ is intended to improve your awareness of general wellness. Hence, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, mitigate, or prevent any disease, disorder, abnormal physical state, or symptom. To conclude, always consult with a health care professional or emergency services should you believe you have a medical condition.
