C++ SDK

Cross-platform C++ SDK for measuring vitals and waveform shapes (pulse, breathing, relative blood pressure, and more) from a camera. Headless by default with optional preview frames; runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Common Prerequisites

All platforms need:

CMake 3.22.1+
C++17 compiler (GCC, Clang, or MSVC 2022)
An API key from physiology.presagetech.com

The SDK package is self-contained — you do not need to install OpenCV, protobuf, curl, or OpenSSL separately on any platform.

Pick your platform

Each guide is self-contained: prerequisites → install → first running build.

Linux Quickstart (Ubuntu/Mint) — apt-based install, amd64 + arm64
macOS Quickstart — Homebrew formula, Apple Silicon
Windows Quickstart — prebuilt ZIP from GitHub Releases

Scope

The quickstarts intentionally request only the breathing and cardio metric bundles, which is enough to see live values on the console. See the C++ API reference for the full requested_metrics catalog and custom-input pipeline.

Going further

Once your first build runs:

Configure which metrics to compute
Headless mode — C++ is headless by default; see the guide for video output callbacks
Migration guide — upgrading from v1.x or v2.x
API reference

Bugs & Troubleshooting

Each platform quickstart above ends with a Troubleshooting section covering platform-specific install, signing, and runtime issues.
