Measure your pulse through your face

#fujitsu #pulse #face #laboratories #technology #science #medical #haemoglobin #manufacturing #engineering #ukmfg Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a technology to measure a person’s pulse from a facial image taken by scans from the built-in camera in a PC, smart-phone or tablet device. The technology works by measuring the brightness of a person’s face — specifically green light, which is absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood.

Measuring the amount of green in light reflected off the face gives a measurement of haemoglobin and therefore blood flow; from this, the pulse can be measured.
