Screen, monitor and engage GLP-1 patients with AI health monitoring

For weight-management and GLP-1 programs. Estimate BMI from a face scan before you prescribe, capture blood pressure and heart rate at every dose step and give patients a reason to open the app between injections. Any camera, no devices to ship.

Know your patient before the first prescription

Intake today runs on self-reported height and weight. Shen AI adds a BMI estimate from the face scan in about 5 seconds, then blood pressure and resting heart rate in 30. The numbers land on the intake form before your clinician opens it, and the digital journey stays digital.

A second signal on BMI
The face-scan estimate sits next to the self-reported value. Matches move on. Gaps and borderline cases route to a clinician.
A baseline for the safety file
Resting heart rate and blood pressure on day zero. Titration is monitored against a real baseline, not a memory.
Fewer drop-offs at intake
No cuff to ship, no clinic visit to book. The patient scans in the same session they signed up in.

Eligibility thresholds and routing rules stay yours. The scan informs, the clinician decides.

Why choose Shen AI for weight-management and GLP-1 programs

A BMI estimate from the face in about 5 seconds, then blood pressure and resting heart rate in 30. Objective data next to self-reported height and weight, before the first prescribing decision, with no cuff to ship.

A 30-second scan gives patients a reason to open the app that is not the scale. Instant results, week-over-week trends and a wellness score they can move. Apps with Shen AI inside report up to 350% higher retention.

Plateau weeks are drop-off weeks. Blood pressure, resting heart rate, HRV and stress keep moving when weight stalls. Patients see the therapy working. Coaches get something new to talk about.

Prescribing information for GLP-1s recommends heart rate monitoring during initiation and dose escalation. Shen AI captures resting heart rate and blood pressure at every dose step from the phone the patient already has. Sustained elevations surface for clinician review.

Scan cadence is a leading indicator. When a patient stops scanning, your coaches know before the pharmacy does. Trigger outreach at the moment it still changes the outcome.

Payers and employers want to know what the spend bought. Report blood pressure, heart rate, HRV, vascular age and cardiovascular risk trends alongside weight, per patient and per cohort.

Vitals for every async visit

Your clinicians make dose decisions from data, not memory. Patients scan at sign-up and before each check-in, so BMI, blood pressure and heart rate arrive together with the intake form. Fully digital, no device logistics, no shipping delays.

Boost engagement between injections

Weight is a slow, noisy signal. It plateaus, it bounces, and it decides whether patients stay. A face scan returns vitals that respond to the therapy long before the scale does. That is the difference between a check-in patients tolerate and one they look forward to.

Frequently asked questions

What GLP-1 program teams ask before integrating.

Yes. Shen AI estimates BMI from facial features during the scan, with a first reading in about 5 seconds, and returns the BMI class alongside it. Programs use it as a second signal next to self-reported height and weight during eligibility screening. A clinician confirms before prescribing.
The Shen AI Medical SDK is CE certified for heart rate, HRV, breathing rate and blood pressure. Your clinical team defines how the readings are used inside the protocol. Many programs use the scan for baseline and trend monitoring and confirm with a cuff whenever a reading needs follow-up.
No. Shen AI measures cardiovascular and wellness markers. It does not diagnose nausea, pancreatitis or other side effects. What it does is capture resting heart rate and blood pressure trends between visits and prompt a symptom check-in after each scan, so your team sees more than a weekly weight.
The camera estimates BMI. Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio, body roundness index, BMR and TDEE are computed from height, weight and waist entered by the patient. Weight still comes from a scale.
It takes 30 seconds, needs no device, gives instant results and produces numbers that move week to week even when weight does not. Apps that added Shen AI report up to 350% higher retention. Scan cadence also gives you an early signal when a patient is drifting.
Most partners ship in days. The SDK supports iOS, Android, Web, Flutter, React Native, Capacitor and MAUI. The UI is white-label. Data flows to your backend or through the FHIR API, and you manage keys and usage in the Admin Portal.
On the patient's device, inside your app. Video and signals never leave the phone and nothing is sent to the Shen AI cloud. You own the data and decide where it goes.
Yes. The Multimodal Sensing Engine is validated across Fitzpatrick skin types and works with any phone, tablet or laptop camera, including in poor lighting.
Shen AI holds the CE mark and ANVISA certification for camera-based heart rate, HRV, breathing rate and blood pressure. For markets and use cases outside that scope, the Wellness SDK and General Wellness SDK cover engagement and wellness features. Our team will map the right option to your program and geography.
