Died from CVD in 2018, representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% are due to heart attack and stroke**.
Market potential
Health monitoring wearables
Market trends and drivers
Next Gen remote CVD monitoring
Our literature review shows that the area behind the ear is the best source for PWV and PTT measurements in the human body.
From temple tip to TempleGuard
The TempleGuard is using the part of the eyeglasses that is positioned right on the ideal measuring area and is usually concealed behind the ear.
The TempleGuard Difference
User Profiling
General user profile is set up upon App installation by asking relevant question
RAW USER DATA
Stored on flash memory of TempleGuard device and transmitted to smartphone using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and further from Smartphone to Cloud.
ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON DEEP LEARNING
AI Model transfers raw data into assumptions which are validated by user feedback. Feedback is used to train data models.
MONITORING AND ALERTING
Qualified predection of unfolding CVD events through cross profiling, pre-defined gold standard tresholds and AI model.
