Biomarkers
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Biomarkers are objective physiological measurements captured during a single Face Scan. They provide a direct snapshot of the user’s current state at that moment in time.
IntelliProve currently provides five biomarker widgets, each representing a physiological signal measured during the Face Scan.
Structure of a biomarker widget
Section titled “Structure of a biomarker widget”A biomarker widget is designed as a compact, easy-to-embed tile that presents one measured physiological indicator in a clear and accessible way.
Each biomarker widget typically contains the following elements.
- Biomarker name
- Value and unit
- Indication of evolution w.r.t. the previous Scan
Biomarkers versus metrics
Section titled “Biomarkers versus metrics”Biomarkers and metrics serve different purposes in the IntelliProve experience.
Biomarkers are:
- objective measurements
- based on a single Face Scan
- focused on one physiological signal
Metrics are:
- interpreted health insights
- based on multiple scans over time
- enriched with contextual or questionnaire data
- meant to provide a broader understanding of a user’s health and well-being
In practice, biomarker widgets are useful when you want to show the building blocks of the result, while metric widgets are more suitable when you want to present a higher-level interpretation such as stress, sleep quality, or general fitness.
When to use biomarker widgets
Section titled “When to use biomarker widgets”Biomarker widgets are particularly useful when:
- you want to surface one specific result directly after a scan
- you are building your own results page and need small, modular UI components
- you want to combine an objective measurement like heart rate or HRV with a specific exercise or module in your platform related to that biomarker.
