• Device Permissions (for Mobile App): When using our mobile application, we may request the following permissions:
  • Camera Permission:We request camera access to allow you to directly capture angiogram images for AI analysis within the app. Images are processed locally for the analysis and are only saved as part of the anonymized case data if you explicitly consent to save the analysis.
  • Storage/File Access Permission:We request permission to access files on your device to enable you to upload existing angiogram images from your gallery or storage for AI analysis. The app only accesses files you specifically select. Uploaded image data is treated as anonymized clinical context data and is saved only if you consent to save the full analysis.
