Each heartbeat changes the volume of blood flowing through the tiny vessels beneath your skin.
During a facial scan, Helfie’s Advanced Blood Pressure AI captures subtle changes in the light reflected from your face as blood flow changes with each heartbeat. It uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to analyse the pulse signals those changes create. From those signals, it estimates systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate.
Blood pressure measures the force of blood against your artery walls and is shown as two numbers. Systolic pressure (the top number) represents the force in the arteries when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure (the bottom number) represents the force between beats. Read More…
Why check blood pressure?
Blood pressure is an important indicator of overall health, providing valuable information about the cardiovascular system. Regular checks with Helfie can help identify high blood pressure, or hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke.
Changes in blood pressure can also signal changes in heart and blood vessel function and may be an early warning sign of heart disease. Regular monitoring can also show how medications may be affecting your readings.
The science.
In a peer-reviewed study of the underlying camera-based technology, 463 blood pressure readings showed a mean error of -5.27 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and -3.95 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure compared with regulated medical devices. Read the study in Cureus (2022).
Heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats per minute. A normal adult resting heart rate range is 60 to 100 bpm, though this varies by age and fitness level. Below 60 bpm is bradycardia; above 100 bpm is tachycardia. Read More…
Why check heart rate?
Helfie checks heart rate because it's a key indicator of overall health and fitness, as it can provide information about the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently. A slow rate can signal high fitness or an underactive thyroid. A fast rate can point to stress, an overactive thyroid, or anaemia. Regular heart rate tracking may help to monitor unusual variations that may affect heart health or be indicative of other issues.
The science.
In a peer-reviewed study of the underlying camera-based technology, 240 heart rate readings showed a mean error of -1.19 bpm compared with regulated medical devices. Read the study in Cureus (2022).
Respiratory rate is the number of breaths you take per minute. A normal adult resting respiratory rate is 12 to 20 breaths per minute, though this varies by age and fitness level. Fewer than 12 breaths per minute is called bradypnea, while more than 20 is known as tachypnea. Read More…
Why check respiratory rate?
Helfie helps monitor respiratory rate, which can aid in assessing lung function and overall health. Changes may indicate issues such as respiratory infections or metabolic disorders. Abnormal respiratory rates can also be caused by factors such as exercise, stress, medical conditions, and medications.
The science.
In a peer-reviewed study of the underlying camera-based technology, 224 respiratory rate readings showed a mean error of -2.11 breaths per minute compared with regulated medical devices. Read the study in Cureus (2022).
Blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is the percentage of haemoglobin in your blood carrying oxygen. Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Read More…
Why check blood oxygen?
Checking blood oxygen saturation with Helfie provides valuable information about the functioning of your respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Low SpO₂ can point to respiratory issues like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Changes in oxygen saturation can indicate changes in cardiac function and may be an early warning sign of heart disease.
The science.
In a peer-reviewed study of the underlying camera-based technology, 235 blood oxygen readings showed a mean error of +0.3 percentage points compared with regulated medical devices. Read the study in Cureus (2022).
Your personal Health Intelligence (HI) is always there, ready to provide clarity and deeper insights.
Whether you’re monitoring for hypertension or curious about what your blood pressure numbers mean, just type or talk to your Health Intelligence to dig deeper and learn more about your health.

Helfie’s Advanced Blood Pressure AI is designed to make regular blood pressure monitoring fast and accessible. It uses validated camera-based technology to estimate blood pressure and key vital signs, while your Health Intelligence (HI) helps you track results and trends over time.
Your Health Intelligence (HI) connects your checks, conversations, and uploaded health information to build a clearer picture over time.
Rather than looking at a single reading in isolation, it can help you track changes in your blood pressure and other vital signs, identify trends, and understand how factors such as sleep, exercise, stress, and lifestyle may be affecting your results.
Helfie’s Health Intelligence (HI) brings together information from your health checks, conversations, uploads, and history, then connects it with a vast body of medical knowledge to build an increasingly informed picture of your health.
Rather than relying on a single AI model or looking at each result in isolation, HI uses multiple layers of intelligence and machine learning to interpret health signals, connect related information across different areas of your health, and understand those results in the context of you.
It also maintains an active memory of your health journey, so previous results, patterns, and interactions can inform what comes next.
The result is intelligence that is personal, contextual, and designed to help you better understand and manage your health over time.
A health check gives your Health Intelligence new information about you. You can then talk to your HI about those results, ask what they mean, explore possible reasons for changes, and understand them in the context of previous checks and health history.
The conversation also becomes part of that context. So when you check again later, your HI can consider both your new results and what it’s learned from earlier checks and conversations.
This is how it builds a more detailed, connected picture of your health over time.
Helfie makes it easy to share check results and health trends with your doctor or healthcare provider, giving them a broader view than a single reading taken in a clinic.
This additional context can help with things like monitoring hypertension, reviewing medications, or understanding how lifestyle changes may be affecting your health.
Sharing your trends gives your healthcare provider more information to support better-informed decisions.
To improve the accuracy and relevance of your blood pressure results, Helfie uses a small number of personal details to tailor the calculation to you.
For blood pressure, this currently includes age, birth sex, height, and weight.
Helfie’s checks are backed by the latest research and science.
