Posture & alignment
5 key biomarkers
We quantify joint alignment, spinal curves, and imbalance to identify mechanical stress that fuels chronic pain and degeneration, and to protect movement capacity across your lifespan.
Segmental Alignment of Major Joints
Segmental alignment maps the positions of your head, spine, shoulders, pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles, revealing stacking patterns that either distribute force cleanly or concentrate stress where tissue breakdown and pain are most likely.
Deviation from Neutral Posture
Deviation from neutral posture quantifies how far each region drifts from an ideal line, turning “poor posture” into precise data that links misalignment to wear on discs, joints, and supporting tissues.
Left–Right Asymmetry
Left–right asymmetry highlights where one side of the body works harder than the other, exposing compensation patterns that can drive chronic irritation, overuse, and uneven joint degeneration.
Spinal Curvature Profile
Spinal curvature profiles describe how your cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curves behave, distinguishing supportive curves from patterns that compress discs, narrow spaces for nerves, and set the stage for chronic spine-related disease.
Global Postural Balance
Global postural balance shows how your center of mass sits over your base of support, connecting subtle shifts forward, backward, or to one side with the long-term load on your muscles, joints, and nervous system.
Breathing metabolism
4 key biomarkers
We measure breath-by-breath oxygen use and breathing efficiency at rest, uncovering metabolic slowdown, hidden fatigue, and how well your system produces and conserves energy for long-term health.
Oxygen Consumption (VO₂)
Oxygen consumption shows how much oxygen your body uses each minute at rest, offering a direct window into mitochondrial function, metabolic flexibility, and how well your cells are fueled.
Minute Ventilation (Expired Air Volume)
Minute ventilation measures the total volume of air you exhale each minute, indicating how hard your respiratory system must work to support metabolism and whether breathing is easy, efficient, or strained.
Respiratory Rate (Breaths per Minute)
Respiratory rate captures the rhythm of your breathing at rest, where a calm, steady pattern suggests good autonomic balance and an elevated rate can reflect stress physiology, deconditioning, or early cardiorespiratory compromise.
Tidal Volume (Air per Breath)
Tidal volume reflects how much air you move with each breath, showing whether you deliver oxygen with deep, efficient breaths or rely on shallow, energy-costly breathing that can compound fatigue and limit performance.
Body Shape & Muscle
4 key biomarkers
We create a precise 3D portrait of your body, capturing central fat gain, asymmetry, and swelling so you can see how anti-inflammatory, detoxification, and strength-focused care are reshaping you over time.
3D Body Surface Geometry (Body Shape Map)
The 3D body shape map captures an exact digital twin of your body’s surface, making subtle changes in contour, muscle fullness, and tissue distribution visible long before the scale reflects them.
Circumference Measurements
Circumference measurements use the 3D scan to track precise size of the waist, hips, chest, arms, and thighs, turning central fat gain, muscle growth, and localized volume changes into clear, objective signals.
Segmental Volume Measurements
Segmental volume quantifies how much space regions like the arms, legs, and torso occupy, revealing where you are building muscle, losing fat, or retaining fluid in patterns linked to joint stress and metabolic health.
Posture and Symmetry Metrics
Posture and symmetry metrics translate your scan into how your body is stacked and balanced, highlighting imbalances that can overload joints, impair circulation, and contribute to pain and degeneration over time.
Body composition
10 key biomarkers
We translate weight into a living profile of muscle, fat, cellular hydration, and inflammation-linked fluid balance, revealing the body-composition patterns that sit at the center of metabolic disease and healthy longevity.
Body Weight
Body weight is the simplest number we capture and the anchor for every other metric. On its own it says little about health; paired with muscle, fat, water, and inflammation markers, it becomes the reference point that shows whether change on the scale reflects repair, strength, or rising disease risk.
Intracellular Water (ICW)
Intracellular water reflects how well your cells are hydrated from within, a marker of resilient tissue, strong muscle quality, and the cellular environment that underpins long-term health and repair.
Extracellular Water (ECW)
Extracellular water sits outside your cells in blood and tissues, and when it rises out of proportion it can signal fluid retention, swelling, and low-grade inflammation that often precedes overt disease.
Total Body Water (TBW)
Total body water combines what is inside and outside your cells, giving a complete view of hydration and lean mass. Too little can drive fatigue and impaired detoxification, while too much, especially with elevated ECW, points to systemic stress.
Dry Lean Mass
Dry lean mass captures the protein and mineral-rich framework of your body, including organs, connective tissue, and bone, which supports strength, metabolic health, and healthy aging.
Body Fat Mass
Body fat mass shows exactly how much of your weight comes from stored fat, a key driver of metabolic strain, hormonal imbalance, and long-term disease risk when it accumulates in excess.
Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)
Skeletal muscle mass reflects the contractile tissue that powers movement, stabilizes joints, and supports glucose regulation, acting as one of the most important reserves for longevity and healthy metabolic function.
Percent Body Fat (PBF)
Percent body fat reveals how much of you is fat versus everything else, moving beyond the scale to show whether your composition supports metabolic health or pushes you toward insulin resistance and cardiometabolic disease.
Visceral Fat Level
Visceral fat level estimates fat stored around your organs in the abdomen, the most disease-relevant fat linked with insulin resistance, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and shortened healthspan.
ECW/TBW Ratio
The ECW/TBW ratio compares extracellular water to total body water, offering an early lens on inflammation, congestion, and fluid imbalance that can stress the cardiovascular, lymphatic, and detoxification systems over time.
Vascular function
6 key biomarkers
We map central blood pressure and arterial stiffness to show how effectively your vessels deliver oxygen to vital organs, illuminating early cardiovascular disease risk and the trajectory of your vascular age.
Heart Rate (HR)
Heart rate captures how many times your heart beats each minute at rest, reflecting how efficiently your cardiovascular system can deliver oxygen without sliding into chronic stress.
Brachial Blood Pressure
Brachial blood pressure is the familiar arm-cuff reading that shows how hard blood presses on your arteries, a core driver of stroke, kidney disease, and heart strain when elevated over time.
Central (Aortic) Blood Pressure
Central blood pressure looks at the pressure your heart and major organs experience at the aorta itself, revealing the true mechanical load that shapes vascular damage and long-term cardiovascular risk.
Central Pulse Pressure (PP)
Central pulse pressure captures the difference between the high and low points of each central heartbeat, with wider swings often signaling stiffer vessels and more force transmitted to delicate tissues in the brain, heart, and kidneys.
Augmentation Pressure (AP)
Augmentation pressure shows how much extra force is added when reflected blood waves collide with the heart’s outgoing beat, quantifying vascular stiffness and the hidden workload your heart carries with every contraction.
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV)
Pulse wave velocity measures how quickly pressure waves travel through your arteries, one of the clearest markers of arterial stiffness, vascular aging, and future cardiovascular disease risk.
