What if your smartphone camera could detect your blood pressure, heart rate, stress levels, and early signs of disease — all in under a minute?

In this groundbreaking episode, Remi Koscielny, CEO and Co-founder of Shen.AI, reveals how artificial intelligence is transforming everyday devices into powerful, non-invasive health monitoring tools. With over 5 billion smartphones in use worldwide — but half the global population lacking access to essential healthcare — Shen.AI is on a mission to democratise healthcare through AI-powered diagnostics.

Remi explains how Shen.AI’s technology uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) and computer vision to read subtle color changes and micro-movements in your face, turning any front-facing camera into a virtual medical device capable of measuring heart rate variability, blood pressure, and even stress levels.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How AI and computer vision can turn your smartphone into a clinical-grade health assessment tool
• The science behind rPPG and ballistocardiography, and how they detect vital signs through facial analysis
• Why Shen.AI’s contactless health monitoring is more inclusive across different skin tones and environments
• How this technology compares to wearables like Apple Watch and Fitbit, and why it may be even more accurate
• The global potential of AI-driven telehealth and preventative care
• How Shen.AI maintains data privacy and on-device processing, keeping sensitive health data secure
• The role of AI in proactive healthcare, early diagnosis, and global health equity
• How upcoming medical certifications (CE, FDA) will enable Shen.AI to expand into regulated clinical use

Remi also shares powerful real-world stories where Shen.AI helped uncover miscalibrated medical devices and empowered individuals to take control of their health — anywhere, anytime.

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in the intersection of AI, healthcare innovation, and digital diagnostics, as well as health-tech founders, telemedicine providers, and clinicians exploring the future of remote patient monitoring.
