Your face changes colour with every heartbeat. Your eyes can’t see it. A camera can.
How a camera reads your pulse
Your pulse hasn’t changed. How we read it has.
For generations, a vaid had to touch your wrist to read your nabz. Then light learned to do it, then a camera. Each step made the reading easier to reach. This is the next one.
- AlwaysThe vaid’s fingersThree fingers on the wrist: the nabz our grandparents knew.
- 1937Light through a fingertipThe pulse is first recorded by shining light through a finger.
- 1980sThe clip at the bedsideHospitals clip a light to your finger to watch the pulse.
- 2008A camera sees it in a faceAn ordinary camera picks up the pulse from a face, in daylight.
- 2015A green light on the wristSmartwatches carry the idea onto millions of wrists.
- 2020The clip comes homeIn the pandemic, the fingertip clip arrives in Indian homes.
- 2026Your phone, 60 secondsNo clip, no watch. Your face, your phone and a window.
A phone camera gives an estimate, not a clinic reading. If a reading looks off, a machine confirms it.

Why we built this, in three minutes.
The check-in before the check-up: who NAVA is for, and why checking in shouldn't wait for a bad day.
About & team
We’re building the wellness rhythm India never had.
Checking in isn’t a habit here yet. We think that’s the opportunity, not the obstacle. NAVA began with a simple refusal — that care should arrive only after something breaks. We pair human-centered design with everyday technology so noticing yourself on purpose becomes a habit: in Hindi or English, on an ordinary phone. We don’t want to count your steps. We want to change your story.
The people behind the noticing.
A small team led by a Harvard Kennedy School Mason Fellow, with a journalist, a lawyer, a filmmaker, an AI producer, a researcher and a finance lead, and one stubborn belief: care should arrive early, in your language, on your phone. NAVA is built by Vital Links Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi.

Questions about NAVA’s face scan
Before you take your look.
Eleven plain answers. Still stuck? Support or tech@vitallinks.co.in.
Is NAVA a medical device? Does it diagnose anything?
No. NAVA is a wellness companion. It shows estimated wellness signals; it does not diagnose, treat or prevent any disease. If a reading worries you, or you feel unwell, see a doctor. In an emergency, call 108 or 112.
How can a camera read my pulse?
With every heartbeat, a little more blood reaches your face and its colour changes very slightly. Your eyes can’t see it; a camera can. NAVA reads that change for 60 seconds. Your pulse hasn’t changed. How we read it has.
How sure is it?
Six signals are read from your face, eleven are calculated from those and your details, and four are estimates. If an estimate looks off, check it on a machine at a pharmacy or clinic.
Does it work on darker skin, in low light, with glasses or a beard?
Light matters most: face a window or a bright lamp, hold still and keep your face inside the circle. Every reading made with light, including the hospital finger clip, can be harder on darker skin, which is why NAVA asks for good light.
What happens to my face, and to my data?
Your camera video is analysed on your phone and never leaves it. NAVA keeps no photo or video of your face, only colour readings that can’t be turned back into an image, as our privacy policy states. Your records are stored in India, never sold, and you can delete them at any time. A few named services help write and voice your plan; the privacy policy lists each one and what it receives.
Do I need to download an app?
No. The free look opens in your browser at app.navaai.in, on an Android phone in Chrome, in Hindi or English: pick on its first screen. For daily readings and family features, NAVA is also on Google Play.
What does it cost?
The 60-second look, your reading and your full reading on WhatsApp are free. A personal food plan and a coach are paid, and you see the price before you choose. Plans in the app also show their price before you pay.
Can my family see my readings?
Only if you choose to share them. Family Shield works only when each person agrees.
Why do my readings change from day to day?
Pulse and breathing move with sleep, food, stress and even the light. Take your look at the same time, in the same light, each week; the trend tells you more than any one reading.
How do I delete my data?
Use “Delete account” at navaai.in/delete-account or in the app’s settings. Questions go to our Data Protection Officer at dpo@vitallinks.co.in. Deletion completes after the 30-day notice period in our privacy policy.
Why do you need my mobile number?
To text you a one-time code, so only you can open your reading, and to send your full reading on WhatsApp if you ask for it. We never sell your number or use it for advertising, and it is deleted with your account whenever you ask.
