Binah.ai Partners with Polar to Provide Continuous Health and Wellness Monitoring

Binah.ai, the number one health and wellness check software, announced today its partnership with Polar Electro, the world leader in personal guidance for fitness, sport and health.

Binah.ai's award-winning, innovative technology, delivered to organizations as a Software Development Kit (Binah SDK), seamlessly integrates into apps or workflows to empower offerings with spot and continuous health and wellness checks that end-users can perform anytime, anywhere, by simply looking at the camera of a smartphone or tablet, or just by comfortably wearing a Polar Verity Sense™ optical heart rate sensor. With the combination of Binah.ai software and Polar Verity Sense sensor, end-users can now continuously measure and share a wide variety of vital signs and biomarkers, including blood pressure* (*to be launched imminently), heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, sympathetic stress, parasympathetic activity, pulse-respiration quotient (PRQ) and a wellness score.

Binah.ai solution also provides bloodless blood tests such as hemoglobin and hemoglobin A1C (currently under research), available through the video-based, spot-check solution. A regular measurement takes 30-60 seconds and is performed on the device, allowing access even without an internet connection.

The Powered by Polar solution empowers Binah SDK to support continuous monitoring by linking to the Polar Verity Sense heart rate sensor. The SDK connects through Bluetooth® to the Polar Verity Sense sensor, from which it receives a raw PPG (Photoplethysmography) signal that it analyzes to deliver the following vital signs: blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate, sympathetic stress, parasympathetic activity, and pulse respiratory quotient (PRQ). It also calculates and provides a wellness score.

Bloodless blood tests are expected to be delivered in Q4/2023. Future releases will include fall detection, sleep analysis and perfusion index (PI).

Organizations in need of continuous monitoring capabilities can now integrate Binah's SDK into their app to obtain continuous readings of the aforementioned vital signs when the Polar Verity Sense sensor is added. All their end-users need to do is wear the Polar Verity Sense sensor on their arm and keep their smartphone within the vicinity of the Polar sensor. Measurements can be configured to run every 3 to 120 minutes, relieving end-users of the need to manually take measurements.
