App monitors vital signs of employees when they look at their phone

A new artificial intelligence (AI) platform monitors vital signs of employees when they look at their smartphone to see if they're sick. Binah Teams, created by Israeli company Binah, comes in the form of an application for smartphones, as well as tablets, laptops and desktops. Once installed, an employee, student or any other team member just has to look at their device's camera for the AI to determine vital signs like heart rate, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in a couple of minutes. The results could help a business remotely determine'with medical grade accuracy' if a team member really is ill, although employees couldn't legally be forced to use it. The company stresses that its application'does not save images or input video streams used for measurement' to assuage privacy concerns.
