Making healthcare more accessible

At Vastmindz, we aim to transform regular consumer technology devices into comprehensive non-invasive diagnostic tools using artificial intelligence. With our technology, we have the opportunity to positively impact lives, by empowering them to better understand their health state.

Our story

We are an experienced team that is committed to using artificial intelligence to benefit our healthcare ecosystem, driven by the need to empower individuals with a better view of their health.

Our experience

We’ve leveraged years of research in artificial intelligence and computer vision to develop solutions that can perform tasks remotely without physical contact. We use proprietary computer vision techniques to help anyone get a better insight into their health.

Our mission

Vastmindz is democratising access to healthcare by making it more accessible and affordable to everyone around the world, through its AI-driven technology. By providing a highly accessible solution that can regularly collect physiological data about an individual, Vastmindz can improve health and wellness globally and potentially help in preventing chronic disease development which accounts for 70% of worldwide deaths.
