PanopticAI

What PanopticAI does

PanopticAI Limited is a Hong Kong-headquartered deep-tech company founded in 2020 by Dr. Kyle Wong, Dr. Nick Chin, and Dr. Teric Chan that builds contactless vital signs monitoring technology based on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), computer vision, and proprietary AI signal processing. The platform extracts physiological data—including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, HRV, and composite health risk scores—from a 25–30 second facial video captured through a standard smartphone, tablet, or desktop camera, without any wearable or contact device. The company's Vital Signs app is the world's first FDA 510(k) Class II cleared mobile application for contactless pulse rate (2025) and respiratory rate (2026) measurement, trained on what the company describes as the world's largest contactless vital signs dataset (550,000+ datapoints) validated across all Fitzpatrick skin tones and backed by 20+ clinical trials and patents granted in seven jurisdictions.

PanopticAI monetizes primarily through white-label licensing of its myVitals™ SDK and integration services to enterprise customers in three verticals: healthcare providers (e.g., Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, CUHK and Prince of Wales Hospital clinical validation, Queen Mary Hospital and HKU emergency-room studies), insurance carriers (Bupa HK, FWD Insurance HK, Cigna HK), and retail wellness brands (Mannings, GNC). Pricing is quote-based, annual, and tailored to integration scope and customization, with no public list price; customers are acquired through direct enterprise field sales with "Schedule a Demo" and "Contact Our Sales" CTAs, supplemented by PR/earned media and HKSTP, HKTDC, and HKUST ecosystem channels.

The company has been recognized on the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 (2025) and Forbes Asia 100 to Watch (2023) lists, won the Silver Medal at the 2024 International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, and was selected for Hong Kong's HK$10 billion RAISe+ commercialization scheme in 2026. It raised seed funding co-led by Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund, Gobi Partners, and HKUST in 2023, and reports a partner footprint of 50+ organizations across 20 countries, with active clinical expansion into Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and planned entry into China's Greater Bay Area.

Revenue model

1. Vitals™ SDK Licensing: PanopticAI offers its Vitals™ SDK as a white-label solution to enterprise customers including healthcare providers, insurance companies, and wellness brands. The SDK is customized and branded for each partner (e.g., My Gleneagles SmartHealth App, Mannings AI Wellness Scan). Revenue likely comes from licensing fees, SDK integration fees, and potentially usage-based or subscription pricing per scan volume or user seat.
2. Enterprise SDK Integration Services: The company provides full project management, ideation & design, and product development services to customize the SDK for each customer's needs, including UI/UX customization, branding, and integration support across platforms (React, Vue, Flutter, Kotlin, Java, Swift) and cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud, AWS).

Direct peers

• Binah.ai: Israel-based developer of a camera-based, contactless vital signs SDK (heart rate, breathing rate, SpO2, HRV) targeting insurers, telehealth, and wellness brands — the closest direct competitor to PanopticAI's Vitals™ SDK.
• NuraLogix (Anura): Canada-based company behind the Anura platform, using rPPG and deep learning from facial video to extract vital signs and health risk indicators — directly comparable technology and SDK distribution model.
• FaceHeart Corporation: Taiwan-based startup commercialising rPPG-based contactless vital signs measurement for remote health monitoring in healthcare and elderly care — same core technology and overlapping Asia-Pacific customer set.

Emerging players

• Caretaker Medical: US company offering continuous non-invasive vital signs (CNAP) monitoring primarily via a finger cuff for hospital and remote settings — competes for the same contactless/RPM use cases via a different sensor modality.

Broad incumbents

• Biofourmis: US/Singapore-headquartered RPM and digital therapeutics platform combining wearable biosensors with AI analytics for chronic disease management — broader RPM incumbent overlapping with PanopticAI's hospital and insurer use cases.
• Withings: France-based connected-health device maker (smartwatches, sleep mat, BPM) selling into insurers, employers, and consumers — adjacent contactless/connected vitals monitoring at scale.
• iHealth Labs: US-based connected health device company offering FDA-cleared vitals monitors (BP, glucose, pulse oximetry, ECG) distributed through retail and clinical channels — overlapping contactless/smart monitoring footprint.
• Apple (Apple Watch / HealthKit): Apple Watch with FDA-cleared ECG, SpO2, and heart-rate features and the HealthKit ecosystem define the consumer-grade benchmark for vitals monitoring and a key competitive anchor for any contactless-vitals vendor.
• Verily (Alphabet): Alphabet life-sciences subsidiary pursuing large-scale health measurement, precision risk management, and remote monitoring programs (e.g., Heart Study) — adjacent incumbent with deep R&D resources.

Others

• Validic: US health-data platform that aggregates patient vitals from hundreds of home and wearable devices into EHRs and analytics tools — relevant ecosystem partner/comparator for insurer and health-system integrations of vital-signs data.
