Using a unique mix of signal processing and artificial intelligence technologies, combined with a proprietary mathematical framework, Binah.ai allows users to extract vital signs measurements with medical-grade accuracy in under 2 minutes, including: heart rate, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation, respiration rate and soon, blood pressure. Vitals that Binah.ai expects to add to its monitoring capabilities include hemoglobin, temperature and others, aiming to turn its app into the go-to health monitoring tool.
"Binah.ai's technology is one of the most revolutionary advances in the delivery of medical services I have ever seen in my many years of medical practice," said Dr. Sheldon Elman, Co-Founder and Chairman at Esplanade Ventures.
