Groundbreaking AI Smart Mirror Unveiled at CES 2024 for Health Assessment – NuraLogix’s Anura MagicMirror

Revolutionary Health Assessment Device Revealed

This week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a leading artificial intelligence company unveiled a smart “mirror” capable of assessing the health of those standing in front of it.

Advanced Health Tracking

The new health product, a 21.5-inch vertical tablet with a mounted camera, tracks more than 100 health signs by scanning blood flow beneath the surface of an individual’s face.

Features and Capabilities

NuraLogix’s Anura MagicMirror uses a camera to detect the blood flow activity beneath the surface of your face’s skin, then sends that reading through an algorithm to calculate 100+ health parameters.

Health Sign Detection

The device promises to detect various health signs ranging from high blood pressure, to symptoms of fever, depression or mental health risks, and the 10-year risk of stroke, to “aging of facial skin.” It can also warn the user if he thinks he is about to die.

Public Reception

One telemedicine expert praised the device as “perfect for clinics and nursing homes.” The manufacturer hopes the device will help give people advance warning about the “proactive” medical care they need, offering the device not just to homes, but to retailers, gyms, schools, nursing homes and pharmacies as well.

Functionality and Technology

NuraLogix revealed that its new device, called Anura MagicMirror, is designed to use a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan vital signs and provide disease risk assessments. The device includes a powerful internal optical sensor that collects data for analysis by a cloud-based algorithm.

Patented Technology

The sensor, NuraLogix’s patented Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) technology, uses a method already used in hospitals, technically known as Photoplethysmography, to record changes in blood volume within the tiny capillaries (tiny blood vessels) of facial tissue.

Affective AI Platform

The blood flow data is then sent to the company’s Affective AI platform, called DeepAffex, which “uses advanced signal processing and machine learning AI algorithms to calculate more than 100 health traits,” according to the company.

Ethical Concerns

Speaking to Wired during Consumer Electronics (CES), NuraLogix CEO Marzio Pozzoli confirmed that the MagicMirror camera does not use any facial recognition technology. However, not everyone was comfortable with these assertions, with a Washington Times columnist opining that “as with everything AI-related, the potential for harm lies close to the intended good.”

Future Outlook

Regardless, NuraLogix’s CEO said he expects MagicMirror to start as a product for business customers, installed in places like gyms, pharmacies, clinic waiting rooms, or even on construction sites where quick health assessments could mean life or death. But, eventually, Pozzuoli hopes to see the MagicMirror become a common device for home health care. According to Wired, Pozzuoli expects some measurements to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration this year, with more measurements to come. According to the NuraLogix website, the MagicMirror device is not yet available for retail sale, but is “for investigative use only.”
