India's First AI-Powered Blood Test Tool Launched
Imagine a quick health checkup without needles!
A new app, called Quick Vitals, uses your phone's camera to scan your face and get results like blood pressure and iron levels in under a minute.
It works by analyzing how light reflects off your skin.
Launched in India, this app is especially helpful for pregnant women and children, as it can quickly check for anemia.
It is expanding to other regions, helping people in areas with limited access to traditional blood tests.
An AI-powered app, Quick Vitals, offers rapid health assessments via facial scanning.
The app measures blood pressure, hemoglobin, heart rate, and other vital signs.

Plans include expansion to Maharashtra and rural areas to improve access to healthcare.
