Metaverse healthcare in red, green, and blue

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

Researchers at MBZUAI developed a method to measure vital signs using webcams by analyzing color intensity changes in facial blood flow. They built a digital twin system that uses machine learning to combine heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen level measures. The system displays real-time vital sign information, enabling remote patient triage. Why it matters: This research contributes to the advancement of telemedicine, potentially improving healthcare access in underserved regions and aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goal #3.

Towards Practical Remote Photoplethysmography Detector

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

Pong C Yuen from Hong Kong Baptist University will present a talk on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) detection. The talk will review the development of rPPG detection, share recent research, and discuss future directions. rPPG is a technology for non-contact computer vision and healthcare applications like heart rate estimation. Why it matters: Advancements in rPPG could enable new remote patient monitoring and diagnostic tools in the region, reducing the need for physical contact.
