No-Touch vital signs: app reads health from your face
NCT ID NCT06829615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether Shen.AI software can accurately measure heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure by analyzing video of a person's face. 132 adults participated, and their results were compared to standard medical devices like ECG and blood pressure cuffs. The goal is to see if this contactless method could be a convenient way to monitor health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If accurate, this could allow people to check their vital signs anytime using just a phone camera, without any special equipment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small validation study, not a treatment trial. The technology may not be accurate enough for medical use, and results may not apply to all skin tones or lighting conditions.
