HEALTH & SCREENING

Physiological signal detection for population health.

Universal ID™'s near-infrared and chemosensory sensing can extend biometric identification into population-health screening, helping flag physiological health signals early while keeping personal identity protected.

AI-Enabled Health Signal Monitoring

AI built into Universal ID™ can extend biometric identification into population-health signal monitoring. Privacy-preserving health and biometric mapping is designed to help public-health agencies respond to emerging health signals faster than traditional surveillance data allows, while masking the identity behind personal data.

Built Into What You Already Use

Universal ID™ can be customized to sit under smartphone glass, in IoT devices such as cars, key fobs and door locks, and at checkpoints where security and health screening both matter: airports, contactless banking, supply chains and government facilities. Wherever it is deployed, it can handle identity, credentialing, schedule verification and population-health monitoring together.

How It Works: NIR, Ultrasound & Chemosensory Sensing

The underlying system uses a custom capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) that combines near-infrared and ultrasound (NIR/US) sensing with an olfactory chemosensory (smell) sensor in a single MEMS package, designed for deployment in mobile phones and other everyday devices.

Detecting Physiological Infection Markers

Covered by U.S. Patent 10,880,303, Universal ID™'s near-infrared scanning can also detect changes in vascular clarity linked to reduced oxygenated blood flow, a signal associated with respiratory illness. Combined with chemosensory detection of infection-related odor signatures, this gives Universal ID™ a non-invasive way to flag potential infection risk during a routine identity scan. Temperature checks, by contrast, are easily defeated with fever-reducing medication.
