Israeli startup Binah.ai says it has developed technology that turns smartphones into health monitoring devices that can check vital signs including heartrate, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate.

The new technology comes as medical care worldwide has been stretched thin by the pandemic and other, longer-term trends, spurring demand for telemedicine and cheaper, more convenient health monitoring solutions.

Binah.ai, founded in 2016, uses cameras on smartphones, tablets and computers to scan a user’s skin to infer health information. The user just needs to look into the camera to let the company’s system measure their vital signs.
