In order to get accurate vital-sign readings, follow the guidelines below:

Device

  • Ensure battery level is above 20% and not in power-save mode.

  • Ensure your camera lenses are clean and unscratched.

  • Place device on a stand about 30 cm away from your face.

  • Position the device with the selfie camera at eye level and parallel to
    the face.

  • Use a stand to reduce shaking and movements of the device.

Subject

  • Sit still during the measurement.

  • Ensure your feet are placed flat on the floor and your legs are
    uncrossed.

  • Make sure your face is fully exposed, ensuring it is not covered by hair or accessories (i.e., mask, sunglasses, hat).

  • Avoid moving or talking throughout the measurement and remain focused on the screen until the measurement is complete.

Environmental Conditions

  • Ensure your face is evenly illuminated

  • Avoid measuring in locations with multiple light sources (preferably a
    single light source directed towards the face).

  • Settle into a position where no light sources are directed toward the
    camera (e.g., by sitting against a wall).

  • Ensure neither the camera nor the area in the frame is exposed to
    direct sunlight.

  • Avoid movement of other persons behind or within your vicinity.

  • Avoid highly reflective objects in the surrounding area, including
    mirrors, glass windows, tables, etc.

  • Ensure the level of the light illuminating your face is a minimum
    of 400 lux.

  • It is recommended that you use a cold light (>4500K) and not a
    monochromatic light source.
