“This software is actually a mobile application that measures vital signs by recording images of the human face and informs the patient if there is a possibility of illness,” Zahra Roshan, the manager of the startup based in Azadi Innovation Plant, told ANA.

“This software is a comprehensive medical application for self-care which can be used in all parts of the world. General information like blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and certain other things can be measured by this application,” she added.

“Since this software processes information through the video recording of human faces, artificial intelligence has been used in deep learning,” Roshan explained, adding that after installing the application, the user records a 15-second video and uploads it to the software, providing the necessary data to the user by analyzing the signals.

In a relevant development last August, technologists at a knowledge-based company that operates in the field of medical equipment had also succeeded in producing Holter blood pressure devices for long-term monitoring of the electrocardiogram (electrical signals) in the heart.

Mohsen Avesta, the managing director of he knowledge-based company Kawshgaran Teb Kharazmi announced the success of Iranian technologists in their firm in designing and producing Holter heart and blood pressure devices.

A Holter blood pressure device monitors electrocardiogram (electrical signals) in the heart and records the changes in blood pressure over a 24-hour period. Holter monitoring of blood pressure evaluates the patient’s blood pressure levels during that period in the normal environment and activities of the patient outside the doctor’s office. The investigation is necessary in case of elevated blood pressure readings to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of hypertension and to evaluate treatment outcomes of previously diagnosed hypertension.

According to Avesta, their company has also succeeded in producing blood pressure analysis and online blood pressure analysis software, with the capability to display and analyze long-term blood pressure data at high speed, the capability to connect to a blood pressure Holter device using a USB port, automatically identify abnormal blood pressure fluctuations, and display reports. A complete set of blood pressure data includes time charts and detailed analysis, the capability to analyze blood pressure data to identify normal and abnormal blood pressure patterns, etc.

“Electrocardiogram (heart tape) analysis software with a simple and understandable user interface, advanced algorithms for analyzing the recorded data. It has the capability to view the results graphically and numerically, the capability to transfer the recorded data to other medical software, etc. It is developed by the engineers at this knowledge-based company,” he went on to say.
