However, the MagicMirror is not a medical device and its measurements should not be taken as a diagnosis. Factors such as makeup, lighting, and the user's ability to sit still could potentially affect the readings. NuraLogix has submitted the technology to the US Food and Drug Administration for clearance over some of its health metrics. The mirror operates similarly to Anura, an app from NuraLogix that uses the same technology and some artificial intelligence under its patented Affective AI technology, DeepAffex.
Key takeaways:
- The Anura MagicMirror, developed by NuraLogix, is a unique mirror that can analyze blood flow in the face to check vitals like blood pressure and estimate the risk of heart disease.
- The mirror uses Transdermal Optical Imaging technology to scan the face and provide wellness metrics, including metabolic risk assessments for conditions like fatty liver disease and Type 2 diabetes.
- While the MagicMirror is not currently marketed for home use, it could soon be seen in gyms, clinics, businesses and other places where people monitor their health.
- NuraLogix has submitted the MagicMirror's technology to the US Food and Drug Administration for clearance over some of its health metrics, with approval expected for certain heart health and breathing metrics this year.
