We know there is a minefield of information out there on the “best body scanner” in the market. There are a lot of promises and quoted stats that make your decision all the more confusing.
Investing in a BIA body composition product is an integral part of your business so it’s important to understand the science behind the BIA technology and the methodology used by the product.
What is BIA technology?
BIA Technology is a scientifically validated body composition test used within the field of research and medicine. It works by passing a safe, low intensity electrical current through the body via the tactical points on the machine (feet and hands). In very basic terms, the measurement of impedance and reactance determines the difference between muscle mass, fat mass (including visceral and subcutaneous), water and mineral.
A lot of body scanner manufacturers claim that they are the most accurate, but how can you really tell which is the best body composition scanner for your business and customers? Here are a few facts to consider when researching body scan accuracy and which body scanner is best for you.
EVOLT 360 Body Scan Accuracy
BIA technology remains consistent regardless of the manufacturer. However, the algorithms used by different companies is where the variability exists and where the value of the Evolt 360 body scanner becomes evident.
The Evolt 360 body scanner stands out not only for its utilization of the standardized BIA technology but also for the sophistication of our algorithms. These algorithms play a pivotal role in enhancing accuracy and reliability, setting it apart from other body scanners in the market.
When it comes to body scan accuracy, the Evolt 360 surpasses the competition by offering precise measurements of muscle mass, fat mass (including visceral and subcutaneous fat), water and mineral. The strategic placement of tactical points on the machine ensures comprehensive data collection, making it a top choice for businesses seeking unparalleled body scan accuracy.
Investing in the Evolt 360 body scanner means investing in precision, backed by cutting edge algorithms that elevate the accuracy of body composition assessments.
CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN ENQUIRING ABOUT ANY BODY COMPOSITION SCANNER.
What Criteria is the Body Scanner’s Algorithm Based on?
The Evolt 360 data analysis methodology incorporates a 5-point algorithm which has been developed based on 100% evidence-based data:
· Age
· Gender
· Height
· Weight
· Impedance
This range of criteria means the Evolt 360 body scan accuracy is due to using a validated formula to provide a reliable, repeatable reading of body composition.
How does an Individual’s Age and Gender Impact the Reliability of the Results?
Naturally, there is a significant difference between the body composition makeup between men and women, likewise, age also has a significant impact upon the body composition makeup of the human body. This is why it’s important that algorithms take into account an individual’s specific metrics, rather than adhering to a universal set of criteria designed for all ages and genders.
How accurate is BIA Technology?
The Evolt 360 body scan accuracy is backed by a 5-point algorithm that has been developed based 100% on data.
Some of our competitors employ a 3-point algorithm that neglects the crucial factors of age and gender. This algorithm relies on default male and age settings, overriding the user’s input. However, scientific literature consistently emphasizes the significance of considering age and gender as essential components for accurately determining body composition across all demographics.
Scientifically Proven Data Gives Back a Sense of Control
Ex US Marine Corp Joshua has achieved incredible results in his fitness journey. Thanks to the precise figures our Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer determines for each individual user, Joshua says the scientifically proven data gives back a sense of control.
“It’s imperative to lean towards science and valid practices because they hold no allegiances,” he said.
“Evolt 360 scans have the distinct advantage of being able to show someone that bodyweight doesn’t hold all the answers.”
“Everyone struggles with the dichotomy of who they are and who they want to be; it’s in the data gleaned from accurate scanning that a sense of control can be gained.”
Local Gym Thrilled with Accuracy of Evolt 360 Results
Gym Owners Jaydon & Rylee have moved away from traditional methods of measuring client performance to a more accurate approach.
“Our Evolt 360 not only gives us an accurate result for the client to see exactly what their body is made up of and the way it’s functioning, but it also allows us to tailor training and nutrition for our clients with so much more precision.”
