Specific Disclaimer
Vastmindz is not a medical or healthprovider contractor, and our Services are not intended for medical purposes. The Site, the SDK and our Services do not offer any kind of medical advice and are not intended for any medical use or purposes whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, our Services are intended for general personal body measurement monitoring only and for informational purposes. We temporarily process certain health and biometric information from the device or camera of the end-users of our customers, for the purpose of extracting and analyzing the following data:
- Vital signs such as pulse rate, oxygen saturation, respiration and stress levels.
- Facial blood flow, facial landmarks and facial features.
- Vital signs such as heart rate (BPM), blood pressure (BP), respiration (BPM), heart rate variability metrics and norms (HRV-SDNN) (ms).
- Anatomic measurements such as height and weight.
In such manner, vital signs are then analyzed and calculated to generate results and related data to track and maintain the historical measurement data of the end-user. These activities are only for references purposes only, calculating an approximation of the last date of monitoring from the end-user, and are not meant to be constructed as any kind of professional medical advice or to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, ailment, or injury.
For our Visix product, the authorized employee of our customer has to sign up to use our Services in Microsoft teams, they need to agree to the terms and conditions of use and we can collect the name, email, date of birth, height and weight of end-user and when they take scans, we store their BPM, Stress levels and HRV so that they can monitor this over time within Microsoft Azure servers.
