>> well, thank you efor invitin me.special, because it not only reflects your physical appearance, but your health indicator and the principle behind this is to use light to measure volumetric changes in the body. so think of the heart as a muscle that pumps blood and when it beats it introduces more blood into the vessels which causes it to expand slightly and blood absorbs light, so that the additional volume of blood requires more light to be absorbed and less let off, so using a simple camera we can pick up the changes of intensity every time that your heart beats. >> how accurate is it? >> well, it is quite accurate within three beats per minute compared to a commercial device. >> do you think that one day it might test other vital signs? >> yeah, we have worked on other vital signs. right now we know we can measure the breathing rate and something called heart rate variability which is a index of the autonomic system, and other parameters such as oxygen saturation and blood pressure. >> ming, it sounds great. i'm
