What is 3D optical imaging and how does Styku use it?
Overview
Styku uses 3D optical imaging — a non-invasive technology that captures a three-dimensional image of the body. The client steps onto a rotating turntable while a camera photographs the body from all angles. Styku's AI-driven software then processes those images to produce both anthropometric and body composition measurements in under one minute.
What Styku Measures
Styku captures two distinct categories of body measurements:
- Anthropometrics — physical dimensions of the body, such as circumferences (e.g., waist, hips) and lengths (e.g., inseam, torso).
- Body composition — estimates of what the body is made of, including fat mass, lean mass, and bone mass.
Most measurement devices measure either anthropometrics or body composition. Styku measures both in a single scan, giving practitioners a more complete picture of a client's health.
Notes
- Styku is intended for use by trained practitioners. Results should be interpreted alongside other clinical information where appropriate.
- Bone mass is estimated as part of Styku's body composition output because Styku uses a DEXA-based algorithm (see related article below).
