Blood pressure app developer Nuralogix has unveiled the latest generation of its Anura MagicMirror that expands its capabilities for real-time, contactless health monitoring across various industries and settings, from hospitals and clinics to corporate wellness programs.

The MagicMirror is branded as the first smart mirror that uses Nuralogix’s proprietary Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) technology to analyze facial blood flow and extract comprehensive health insights in just 30 seconds. Now equipped with 4G connectivity and integrated with the company’s cloud-based DeepAffex platform, the mirror captures data on more than 100 health parameters including:

  • Vitals: Blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing rate, body temperature
  • Physiological: Heart rate variability
  • General Risks: Heart attack risk, stroke risk, fatty liver disease risk
  • Mental Wellness Indicators: Mental stress index
  • Physical Assessments: Body mass index and facial skin age
  • Blood Biomarker Risks: Hemoglobin A1C and fasting blood glucose risk

With 4G connectivity, MagicMirror reportedly offers seamless, real-time data transmission, ensuring broader accessibility in remote areas and greater flexibility for businesses seeking to leverage cutting-edge health analytics. Besides 4G connectivity, MagicMirror can use WiFi and Ethernet, thereby connecting users wherever and whenever needed.

Built to support both anonymous and registered users, the MagicMirror is designed for diverse applications, including:

  • Clinics and Hospitals: Enables patients to have vitals and health risks assessed to streamline and accelerate triage.1
  • Retail and Consumer Health: Enhancing customer experiences in pharmacies, gyms, and wellness centers.
  • Elder Care and Assisted Living: Offering a non-intrusive solution for monitoring the well-being of aging populations.
  • Corporate and Workplace Wellness: Empowering organizations to monitor employee well-being and promote proactive health management.

The MagicMirror is designed to automatically detect a user’s presence and initiates a 30-second scan. This hands-free approach eliminates the need for multiple manual inputs, ensuring ease of use—especially for individuals with mobility challenges, elderly patients, and others who would benefit from a seamless health assessment experience.

“With the latest enhancements to Anura MagicMirror we are making contactless health monitoring even more accessible and efficient,” Nuralogix Chief Marketing Officer Chris Lin said. “The integration of 4G connectivity and a refined form factor means that businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals can seamlessly access crucial health insights anytime, anywhere. This is another step forward in the Nuralogix mission to transform global health monitoring with AI-powered innovation.”

Nuralogix develops Affective Ai and contactless blood pressure measurement technology. The company’s patented cloud-ased Affective Ai Platform, DeepAffex, can measure more than 100 health and wellness parameters using a conventional video camera and its TOI technique to extract facial blood flow information. This is demonstrated in the most widely recognized of the contactless health monitoring Anura app.

Affective Ai is representative of the intersection between affective computing and artificial intelligence (AI). It is defined as the ability to recognize, measure, predict, and simulate human affects that take the form of physiological and psychological states using AI-trained models.
