Take your blood pressure just by taking a selfie with your cell phone?

That is what Chilean healthtech proposes. Chilean healthtech company Medismart through SmartCheck, an app that uses artificial intelligence to detect a series of indicators that allow for the assessment of risks of heart attack or stroke.

How does it work?
According to DFLiVE (www.dflive.cl), the app detects hemoglobin concentration in different parts of the face by analyzing transdermal optical images, allowing it to measure about 10 health indices. It also measures mental stress levels, skin age, and heart rate.

Medismart is a healthtech company created in 2020 that offers telemedicine, medical examinations, and home delivery of medications under a B2B model, in which companies and organizations pay a subscription per user. It operates in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia. Smartcheck, however, is only available in Chile at this time.
