What is a DEXA Scan and Why Do We Need an Alternative?

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans have long been considered the gold standard for body composition analysis. They provide detailed measurements of body fat, lean mass, and bone density. However, traditional DEXA scans come with significant drawbacks: they're expensive (costing $150-300 per visit), require clinic visits, expose you to radiation, and are impractical for frequent progress tracking. Learn more about traditional DEXA limitations.

This is where AI-powered home DEXA scanning technology comes in. Using advanced computer vision and machine learning, we can now achieve comparable accuracy (95-98%) to traditional DEXA scans using just your smartphone camera. See how our technology works.

How Does Home DEXA Scanning Work?

Our AI-powered DEXA alternative uses a sophisticated three-step process:

  1. Photo Capture: Using our guided photo capture system, you take a simple front-facing photo in form-fitting clothing. The app provides real-time guidance to ensure optimal positioning and lighting for accurate measurements.
  2. AI Analysis: Our advanced AI processes your photo using the same measurement principles as DEXA scans. It analyzes body composition region by region, identifying fat distribution, muscle mass, and symmetry patterns.
  3. Instant Results: Within seconds, you receive a comprehensive report showing your body fat percentage, muscle mass distribution, and symmetry analysis. No waiting 24-48 hours like traditional DEXA scans.
