Your Members' Biggest Risks
Are Already Visible.
They Just Don't Know It Yet.
Vital Scores delivers a 60-second facial scan via SMS — no app, no wearable, no clinic visit.
Blood pressure, heart rate variability, and resting HR, surfaced to the member and routed
to care navigation. Built exclusively for multiemployer health funds.
Most cardiac events in labor populations are preceded by years of signal.
Hypertension affects roughly one in three American adults
— and in the trades, it runs higher. The construction worker who never misses a shift.
The driver who hasn't seen a primary care physician in years. The warehouse associate who
doesn't "feel sick."
Your fund pays the downstream claim. Vital Scores creates the upstream detection moment —
at the point where intervention is still inexpensive, and before the ER becomes the first
interaction with the healthcare system.
The Numbers
Why Early Detection Changes Everything
01
1in 3
Trade workers have undiagnosed or uncontrolled hypertension.
Most have no idea.
02
$110K
Average cardiovascular event cost per member.
One prevented event per 1,000 lives covers years of program cost.
03
60sec
Total time to complete a Vital Scores scan.
No app. No clinic. No paperwork. Just a phone and an SMS link.
The Process
Simple Enough to Work at Scale
No app install. No hardware. No clinic appointment. Vital Scores meets members exactly
where they are — on their phone, in under a minute.
1
Fund Sends the SMS
Your fund administrator or TPA triggers a one-time text to enrolled members —
no app store, no account creation. Just a secure link.
2
Member Scans in 60 Seconds
The member opens the link on any smartphone. The rPPG algorithm reads facial
bloodflow patterns to estimate BP, HR, and HRV — entirely passively.
3
Results Route to Care
Flagged readings trigger HIPAA-compliant care navigation outreach. The fund receives
aggregate population data. No identifiable PHI transmitted to the fund.
rPPG technology detects subtle color changes in facial skin caused by blood pulsing through
surface capillaries — the same physiological signal your primary care physician reads with
a cuff and a stethoscope, captured passively through the phone's camera.
The underlying technology holds FDA clearance. Vital Scores is not a diagnostic
medical device — it is a health awareness and care navigation tool,
designed to surface population-level risk signals and route members toward clinical
confirmation and treatment.
Accuracy is adequate for population screening, not clinical measurement. We are transparent
about this distinction, and so is the member-facing output.
Vital Scores is not a general wellness product. It was designed from the ground up for
the multiemployer fund market — the members, the trustees, and the administrators who serve them.

A Story Your Members Are Living
Marcus felt completely fine. His numbers told a different story.
Nineteen years as a structural ironworker. No symptoms. No warning. He almost dismissed
the SMS from his health fund — it wasn't a claim denial, not a copay reminder.
Just a ping. His shop steward told him to try it once.
Sixty seconds later, he was staring at 148/94 — and a HRV reading that said his body
was carrying stress he hadn't said out loud to anyone. That moment of detection is
what your fund currently has no mechanism to create.
We know what happens when the right infrastructure is in place. We've seen the numbers
move. But the full story isn't ours to finish here — it's a conversation we'd like
to have with you.

"One in three members with uncontrolled hypertension will generate a cardiovascular
claim within 5 years — at an average cost of
$68,000–$210,000.
The detection window is right now."
The Financial Case
The Cost of Waiting Is Not Theoretical
Hypertensive emergencies, cardiovascular events, and unmanaged diabetes generate the
largest per-member claims in multiemployer fund portfolios — and they are overwhelmingly
preceded by years of detectable, treatable signals.
Vital Scores operates on a simple PMPM model. The math is not complicated. At modest
engagement rates and conservative avoidance assumptions, the program pays for itself on
a single prevented event per thousand members per year.
We build a customized ROI model for each fund during our initial conversation — using
your covered lives, your claims history, and your actual PMPM targets.

Let's Talk About Your Fund.
We work exclusively with multiemployer funds in organized labor. We're not here to
pitch software — we're here to ask what your fund's data currently can't see, and
show you what changes when it can.
No slide deck. No vendor demo. A real conversation about your fund, your population,
and what early detection could change.
