Mobile devices (smartphones) allow the reading of biometrics inputs through embedded technology such as eye-tracking and / or voice recording. The combination of these inputs together with AI tools provide useful information on potential dispersion from a normal pattern in a human being. This results in a relevant tool for application on triage in certain pathologies. Likewise, this information might be crucial for diverse stakeholders (individual, family, insurance companies, public health system) for early detection and treatment as it lowers costs and increases life quality. While their initial focus is on active ageing and wellbeing promotion, the company envisages future and wider applications of this platform with the addition of AI technologies. This is a non-medical app, user-friendly as it runs on easy access technology (tablet / mobile devices) that identifies potential deviations to normal patterns. By means of these devices, triage can be performed for larger population, identifying groups of individuals that might need medical treatment. An R&D prototype testing roadmap first includes the development of a dedicated algorithm for pathologies such as: depression, Parkinson’s disease, dementia in early stages and others. Currently the bug is undergoing a debugging process and being improved under accessible demands (bigger letters, easier commands, voice commands, etc. A control panel is also under development for capturing the inputs generated by anonymous information from different types of individuals. Main clients are insurance companies, healthcare private and public organization, public entities interested in preventive health and mental health campaigns for population of 55+. The company is set up in Spain with remote technical and human resources. They are willing to engage in a research type of agreement to develop the project fully under the frame of a EUROSTARS-3 programme.
