01 · THE PROBLEM
Why this exists.
Basic health insight usually needs expensive hardware — and many apps overstate what they can do.
02 · THE APPROACH
What we built.
A mobile-first companion that optically estimates pulse and guides next steps, while being explicit that it cannot diagnose or replace a doctor.
03 · WHAT'S INSIDE
Core capabilities.
- 01Camera-based pulse estimation (rPPG), clearly marked experimental
- 02Symptom triage with AI and a separate offline rule engine
- 03Emergency hand-off to the phone dialer / SMS
- 04Private health records only the user can see
- 05Offline-capable app shell
04 · ENGINEERING NOTES
Tools and disciplines.
This entry is part of an independent, student-led technology studio in India. DIU means Dominance, Intelligence, Unity; this studio is not affiliated with the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit.
DiuMed is recorded as a prototype in the Foundry archive. That label describes the current stage documented by the studio; it is not a claim of certification, third-party endorsement or production readiness.
The case-study record summarizes the documented problem, approach, capabilities and technology stack. Public source and live-build links are supplied where available, so visitors can inspect the artifact directly rather than infer maturity from a visual preview alone.
DiuMed is an exploratory technology prototype, not a medical device or clinical diagnosis. Camera-based estimates can be affected by lighting, camera quality and other conditions; they should not be used to make medical decisions or replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
