How does it work?
When your heart beats, your skin subtly blushes red—changes too small to see with the naked eye. lifelight’s technology detects these tiny colour shifts, cleans up the signals, and turns them into vital signs.
A method called photoplethysmography (PPG) is used, similar to what’s used in finger pulse oximeters. While those require a clip on your fingertip, lifelight goes further with remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), making it a completely contactless digital blood pressure checker.

FAQ's
lifelight is powered by data from over 12,000 individuals through clinical studies and NHS pilots. In real-world settings, blood pressure cuffs can often yield less accurate results due to issues like incorrect fitting, the need for recalibration, or using the wrong cuff size. * lifelight eliminates these concerns entirely, ensuring reliable readings every time.
Understanding blood pressure is key for cardiovascular health. Blood pressure is shown as two numbers, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg):
Systolic Pressure (first number): This is the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. A normal reading is usually less than 120 mmHg.
Diastolic Pressure (second number): This is the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. A normal reading is usually less than 80 mmHg.
If you are unsure about what your results mean, it is best to reach out to your GP.
You will need a recent iOS or Android smart phone with a front-facing camera.
