Health Lens AI

2nd prize, FAU Biotech Hackathon

Turns a phone camera and microphone into a non-invasive health screen, aimed first at spotting Parkinson's earlier. No lab tests, wearables or clinic visit.

How it works

An AI guide called Dr. Aria talks the user through a short session in plain language, then produces a health report. One video session is designed to capture:

  • Heart rate, from remote photoplethysmography: skin color changes on the face
  • Facial expression, tracking landmarks for reduced expressiveness
  • Voice, jitter, shimmer and MFCC features
  • Tremor, from positional jitter in facial keypoints
  • Bradykinesia, from finger-tapping speed and amplitude

The accuracy figures in the deck come from the published research it cites, not from a test of this prototype, and it isn't a clinical tool.
