The project uses evidence-based scientific and practical solutions and combines the capabilities of modern artificial intelligence with cloud computing architecture. Initially, ReMnemo was developed by Hanna Zavolodko, associate professor of the Department of Information Systems of NTU «KhPI», and Yevgen Hlebov, a student of the department of Multimedia and Internet Technologies and Systems of NTU «KhPI». Under the supervision of Hanna Zavolodko, he did his bachelor’s thesis on this topic. Later, Kharkiv Polytechnic graduates, web development specialists, joined the project authors: Valerii Zavolodko, Bogdan Popovych, and Oleksandr Skliarov.

According to the developers of the startup «HealthHelper», a methodology for measuring both velocity and blood pressure, it is quite easy to use. You just need to put two fingers on the touch screen of the device and you can immediately get the readings.
