How to scan with AIME

When you have your vital signs measured by your healthcare provider, it is done in a controlled environment for the most accurate measurements. While the AIME mobile application is not a medical device, it should also be used in a controlled environment. This page describes the best practices for measuring your vital signs with AIME. Please wait five (5) minutes between measurements to avoid device overheating. To get the most accurate readings, follow the guidelines below:

Device

Ensure the battery level is above 20% and not in power-save mode.
Ensure your camera lenses are clean and unscratched.
Place the device on a stand approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from your face.
Position the device with the selfie camera at eye level and parallel to the face.
Use a stand to reduce shaking and movements of the device.

Subject

Don’t smoke or drink coffee for thirty (30) minutes before taking your measurements.
Relax for five (5) minutes before taking your measurements.
Sit still during the measurement.
Ensure your feet are placed flat on the floor, and your legs are not crossed.
Ensure your face is fully exposed and not covered by hair or accessories (e.g., mask, glasses, hat).
Avoid moving or talking throughout the measurement and remain focused on the screen until the measurement is complete.

Environmental Conditions

Ensure your face is evenly illuminated.
Avoid measuring in locations with multiple light sources (preferably a single light source directed toward the face).
Settle into a position where no light sources are directed toward the camera (e.g., by sitting against a wall).
Ensure neither the camera nor the area in the frame is exposed to direct sunlight.
Avoid movement of other persons behind or within your vicinity.
Avoid highly reflective objects in the surrounding area, including mirrors, glass windows, tables, etc.
Ensure the level of light illuminating your face is at least 400 lux.
We recommend using a cold light (>4500K), not a monochromatic light source.
