Summary

This research study is designed to validate the precision and accuracy of body measurement and composition results from a novel 2D imaging device that operates through a smart-phone application. Measurement references will be obtained through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance analysis, manual anthropometry, and previously validated 3D optical scanners.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

VBC

Body Composition will be measured using the VBC system that takes under 60 seconds per scan. Image capture for VBC will include taking a series of four photos using a smartphone camera. Data from the camera will be downloaded to a local computer and then securely sent to the cloud for automated analysis and results generation. We will conduct two consecutive scans (image captures) for each research participant.
