Body Composition
Our Body Composition/Bioimpedance tool is an FDA Cleared medical device that is a quick (30-second) non-invasive tool designed for both adults and children for lymphedema and nutrition. It uses a safe, low electrical current to accurately measure body composition, including obesity analysis, muscle mass, and hydration levels for each limb. It measures and identifies imbalances such as dehydration or edema per limb and trunk. This device is crucial for managing and monitoring conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart failure. It is an excellent reimbursable tool for both new and established patients.
Transforming Patient Assessments
Today's Bioimpedance (Body Composition Analysis) represents the cutting-edge assessment and an advancement in healthcare, providing medical providers with a powerful tool to assess, monitor, and improve patient health in ways that were once time-consuming or incomplete. By measuring detailed body composition metrics, fluid balance, and disease risk factors, this technology enables personalized, effective care that enhances patient outcomes and boosts clinic efficiency. Additionally, our bioimpedance devices are FDA Cleared and eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, making it not only a clinical asset but also a financial advantage, allowing providers to offer advanced care while benefiting from coverage for essential diagnostic services.
Non-Invasive and Quick: A painless and fast procedure that delivers comprehensive results in 30 seconds.
Detailed Body Composition: Measures intracellular and extracellular water, fat mass, muscle mass, and phase angle, offering deep insights into patient health.
Fluid Distribution: Tracks the extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) ratio, helping detect early signs of fluid imbalance, including edema or inflammation.
Visceral Fat: Evaluates abdominal fat levels to assess risks for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.
Detailed Reports: Elevate clinical standards with advanced evaluation metrics tailored to various medical conditions.
Better Tests, Better Outcomes
Benefits for Medical Providers
A body composition analysis provides medical providers with valuable insights to enhance patient care and optimize treatment plans. By assessing fat distribution and muscle mass, providers can tailor interventions for weight management, diabetes, and chronic disease prevention. This analysis helps identify at-risk patients for early intervention and improves health outcomes, while also supporting better patient engagement and adherence to lifestyle changes. Additionally, it can increase clinic revenue through reimbursable services.
Reimbursable Testing: Bioimpedance analyses are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, increasing accessibility for a broad patient base.
Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: Delivers precise and reliable data, supporting more informed clinical decisions and personalized treatment plans.
Early Detection of Health Risks: Identifies potential issues like fluid imbalances, edema, and metabolic disorders, allowing for timely intervention.
Improved Patient Outcomes: Helps track patient progress and adjust care based on real-time measurements, promoting more effective treatment strategies.
Time and Cost Efficient: Reduces the need for multiple tests by providing comprehensive body composition analysis in a single assessment.

Medical Providers
Body Composition measurement, specifically through Bioimpedance Spectroscopy, is used across several medical and health-related specialties:
Primary Care Providers (PCPs)* should almost always be performed by PCPs as they are typically the first line of healthcare for general health assessments. PCPs play a critical role in identifying and addressing abnormalities in body composition, such as obesity, diabetes, heart failure, muscle loss, or kidneys, which could indicate underlying health issues.
Endocrinology is commonly used in managing and monitoring patients with obesity and diabetes. It helps in assessing body fat percentage, muscle mass, and fluid distribution, which is important for understanding how these conditions affect the body.
Cardiology can be useful in heart failure management by measuring water retention, specifically extracellular water (ECW), to detect edema and guide treatment strategies.
Nephrology for patients with chronic kidney disease or undergoing dialysis, it is used to monitor fluid status and detect imbalances in body water composition that could affect kidney function.
Sports Medicine/Physical Therapy* for athletes and rehabilitation patients for tracking muscle mass, fat mass, and hydration levels, helping to tailor training programs and recovery strategies.
Pediatrics can be used in the growth and development assessment of children, helping to monitor healthy weight, muscle, and fat development.
Geriatrics is used to monitor elderly patients for sarcopenia (muscle loss), which is crucial for preventing frailty and maintaining mobility in older adults.
This tool enhances patient care by delivering essential insights across various specialties, enabling early detection and precise monitoring of conditions related to body composition and fluid balance. By providing accurate data, it supports clinicians in making informed decisions for personalized treatment plans, improving patient outcomes, and promoting proactive health management. It is an invaluable resource for primary care providers (PCPs), allowing them to efficiently identify abnormalities and refer patients to specialists for further evaluation, ensuring comprehensive and targeted care.
