摘要：
There is disclosed an apparatus and a method for calculating a biomarker value. The apparatus includes an analysis module configured to obtain a heartbeat trace of a subject determine at least one parameter describing the heartbeat trace, and calculate at least one output biomarker value using at least one Artificial Neural Network ("ANN"). An input of the ANN includes the at least one parameter. An output of the ANN includes the at least one output biomarker value. The ANN may involve a plurality of input 22A, output 23A and hidden neurons 24A. The heartbeat trace may be determined from a video of the subject wherein intensity within a target region of the video is used. The biomarker may be blood glucose level, blood pressure, core or skin temperature, blood gas saturation, histamine levels amongst other examples. The heartbeat trace may be combined from multiple individual heartbeat profiles into a super pulse before input into the ANN.
