Emotions drive decisions, behavior, and performance—but they’re notoriously difficult to track in real time. Traditional emotional detection methods rely on subjective self-reports, wearables, or costly lab setups. But now, thanks to advances in AI and remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), emotional detection is becoming more accurate, affordable, and accessible—using just a webcam.
At VitalSign AI, we use patented rPPG and computer vision to detect up to six emotional states in real time: happy, sad, angry, fearful, surprised, and neutral—without needing wearables or additional hardware.

Lab-based EEG/biometrics: Expensive, invasive, and not scalable.
