A distinctive feature of the Body Scan is its ability to assess aspects of nerve health in the feet.
The device measures electrochemical skin conductance, which reflects sweat gland function controlled by small peripheral nerves.
Reduced conductance may be associated with changes in peripheral nerve function.
This feature may be particularly useful for people at increased risk of peripheral neuropathy, including individuals with diabetes. However, it is not intended to diagnose neuropathy or replace medical evaluation.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Basal Metabolic Rate represents the number of calories the body burns while at complete rest.
The Body Scan estimates BMR using body composition data along with demographic information.
Understanding BMR can help users:
Plan calorie intake
Support weight management
Design nutrition strategies
Estimate daily energy requirements
Because BMR is an estimate, it should be considered alongside activity level and guidance from nutrition or healthcare professionals when making dietary decisions.
