B2B 3D Body Scan for Weight Loss

This system captures a full‑body point cloud in under ten seconds using structured light projection, delivering sub‑millimeter surface accuracy (±0.5 mm) and a volumetric resolution of 200 µm.

Measurement Principle and Data Output

Structured light patterns are projected onto the subject; two synchronized cameras detect deformation, enabling triangulation of XYZ coordinates for each pixel.

The resulting mesh contains typically 2.5 million vertices, providing surface detail sufficient to discern changes in subcutaneous fat thickness of 1 mm or greater.

Export formats include OBJ, STL, and PLY, allowing direct import into downstream analytics platforms for volume‑based fat estimation.

Why Wellness Providers Choose 3D Body Scanning

Traditional weight‑loss programs rely on scale weight or circumference tape, which cannot differentiate between fat loss and muscle gain.

A 3D scan provides segmental volume measurements (arms, torso, thighs) with repeatability better than 1 % CV, enabling objective tracking of body composition changes over time.

Corporate wellness centers use the data to personalize exercise prescriptions, demonstrating measurable ROI through reduced healthcare claims and improved employee retention.

Medical clinics integrate the scanner into bariatric pre‑operative assessments, where volumetric fat reduction of 5 % or more correlates with improved surgical outcomes.

Quantifiable Advantages for B2B Clients

• Reduces measurement error from ±2 cm (tape) to ±0.5 mm (scan), cutting false‑positive progress reports by >70 %.
• Enables automated reporting; a typical scan generates a PDF summary in < 5 seconds, freeing staff for consultation.
• Supports subscription‑based analytics platforms; clients report average revenue increase of 12 % per location after adding scan‑based tracking.
• Low maintenance: solid‑state light source with rated lifespan of 20,000 hours, eliminating lamp replacement costs.

Factory Calibration and Field Verification

Each unit undergoes a three‑point calibration traceable to a NIST‑certified reference plane, ensuring axis linearity within 0.1 % across the full FOV.

Field verification kit includes a calibrated checkerboard plate; users can perform a quick verification in < 2 minutes, with acceptance criteria of deviation < 0.3 mm RMS.

Software logs calibration dates and operator ID, supporting audit trails required for ISO 13485‑compliant environments.

Available Configurations

• Enclosure materials: powder‑coated steel (standard) or stainless steel 304 for corrosive environments.
• Lighting wavelength options: 405 nm (blue) for higher reflectivity on dark skin tones, or 635 nm (red) for reduced ambient interference.
• Interface: touchscreen panel (7 inch, 1024 × 600) or external PC connection via USB‑3.0.
• Optional integrated weight scale (load cell, 0.05 kg resolution) for simultaneous mass capture.
