The **Face Scan plug-in** is a plug-and-play, **ready-made** web component that allows to easily integrate Face Scans your app or platform.

The **Face Scan** forms the core of IntelliProve's Health Check technology. Face Scans are IntelliProve's streamlined, non-invasive approach to accurately measure [Health Insights](docId:83ca0u016DDhbg6UrWwWN), including vital parameters and metrics, in just a few seconds.

This approach combines advanced face-scanning technology with user-reported inputs and contextual information. By performing Face Scans, users obtain a comprehensive and **holistic view** of the their **health**, delivered seamlessly through our platform.

# The process

The Face Scan accurately measures biomarkers from an optical scan of the face, using the device's built-in camera. The scan, also referred to as measurement**,** takes approximately 20 seconds and requires minimal user effort, making it an efficient method for capturing physiological data.

**Quality check**
:::

Upon pressing the start button, the system reviews the user's positioning and lighting conditions. This **quality check** ensures that the setup meets our requirements for a qualitative Face Scan, including:

- Sufficient lighting
- Proper face-camera distance
- Analysis of the user's motion

Guiding messages assist users in achieving the ideal position and lighting. Once the quality check passes, the measurement begins.

**Measure**
:::

Once ready, the user is prompted to remain still and face the camera as the measurement process begins. A timer displays the remaining time, while health parameters are measured in the background. The scan completes once all health parameters have stabilized.

# The technology behind it

IntelliProve’s Face Scan uses **remote** **photoplethysmography** (rPPG) to detect blood volume changes in the face, driven by the rhythmic pulsations of the heart. The IntelliProve Engine monitors and analyses these **subtle colour shifts** caused by blood flow by capturing the reflection of light from the user’s face. Advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms then convert these minor variations into precise physiological signals, offering insights into cardiovascular activity, such as heart rate and heart rate variability.
