Goodbye Smartwatches, Hello Health AI on Your Wrist

1•accofrisk•1h ago
In this post, I’ll list all the parameters our AI currently measures for health monitoring. It doesn’t matter which device the optical sensor is in (smartphone, stick, or box) and where the user places their wrist to measure the pulse wave. Today we use a watch form factor, but we don’t want people to think our AI on the wrist is “just a watch.” Suggest in the comments – what would you call it?

Cardiovascular System – Whole Blood Viscosity (WBV) – Fibrinogen (FIB) – Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CCP) – Myocardial Perfusion (CMBV) – Cardiac Output Force (CPO) – Myocardial Blood Supply and Consumption Rate (CMBR) – Right Ventricular Stroke Work (RVSW) – Myocardial Blood Demand (CMBN) – Cardiac Function Index (CFI) – Cardiac Index (CI) – Left Ventricular Stroke Work Index (LVWI) – Blood Pressure (SBP) – Heart Rate (HR)

Circulation and Microcirculation – Microcirculation Assessment – Microcirculation Half Update Rate (MHR) – Microcirculation Half Update Time (MRT) – Mean Retention Time of Microcirculation (MST) – Systemic Blood Flow (QS)

Lungs and Respiratory System – Arterial Oxygen Tension (PaO₂) – Vein Oxygen Saturation (SvO₂) – Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) – Artery Blood Oxygen Pressure / Oxygenation Index (OI) – Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (MPAP) – Alveolar Ventilation (VA) – Oxygen Consumption (VO₂) – Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) – Pulmonary Blood Volume (PBV) – Intrapulmonary Shunt Fraction (Qs/Qt) – Minute Ventilation (VE) – Arterial Partial Pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂) – Vein Partial Pressure of CO₂ (PvCO₂) – Dead Space Ventilation (VD) – Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI)

Diabetes and Metabolism – Blood Glucose – Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) – Fructosamine / Glycated Albumin – Insulin Resistance Index (HOMA-IR) – Beta-cell Function (HOMA-B) – Hypoglycemia-related Metrics – Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein Intake – Metabolic Parameters (Lactate, Metabolism)

Liver – Blood Plasma Ammonia (BA) – Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) – Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) – AST/ALT Ratio – Lactate (Lac) – Indices: LAP, TyG, UHR, VAI

Kidneys – Glomerular Filtration Fraction (GFF) – Renal Perfusion Pressure (RPP) – Renal Blood Flow (RBF) – Uric Acid (UA) – Serum Creatinine (SCr) – Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Brain and Nervous System – Cerebral Blood Flow Resistance (CVR) – Jugular Oxygenation (SjVO₂) – Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) – Jugular Venous Oxygen Content (CjVO₂) – Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) – Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV) – Intracranial Pressure (ICP) – Carotid-Venous Oxygen Content (AjVDo₂) – Cerebral Oxygen Metabolic Rate (CMRO₂)

Mental Health – Anxiety – Depression – Relaxation – Fear – Positivity – Anger – Stress – Sadness – Mania

Sleep – Apnea – Snoring – Sleep Duration – Sleep Phases

Nutrition and Physical Activity – Body Mass Index (BMI) – Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – Fat Percentage – Muscle Mass (%) – Obese Mass – Daily Calorie Intake – Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein Intake

Female Health Parameters – Menstrual Phase – Follicular Phase – Predicted Ovulation – Luteal Phase – Body Mass Index (BMI) – Psychological State – rating scale – Anemia – present/absent – Fatigue – rating scale – Breathing Rate – breaths per minute – Risk of Premature Heartbeats (Extrasystoles) – present/rating – Fibrinogen – grams per liter – Hemoglobin – grams per deciliter

Child Health Parameters (ages 5–17) - Physical Health – Body Temperature – Blood Oxygen Saturation – Heart Rate – Level of Physical Activity – Blood Pressure – Sleep Quality and Sleep Phases

Child Health Parameters (ages 5–17) - Mental Health – Academic Pressure – Interpersonal Relationships – Physical and Mental Health Balance – Emotional Background – Behavioral Habits – Personality Traits
