Introducing The Styku

There is tremendous value in understanding your body composition. Not only will the Styku visualize your health status, but it can also be an important tool for your health care providers or fitness trainers as they guide you to meet your health goals.

Advanced 3D biometric modeling 

The Styku is a body composition measurement and visualization tool that generates a 3-dimensional avatar of a person’s body using a series of Kinect-like sensors and a rotating medical grade scale. In less than 35 seconds, the Styku produces an interactive 3D rendering for accurate data reading, including body shape, body measurements, and more.

Following your scan, you will meet with a provider who can walk through your results and answer any questions you may have.

Is the sensor harmful or invasive?

The Kinect sensor used in the Styku scanner emits harmless infrared light, similar to that used in remote controls, cordless PC mice, baby video monitors, or the Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone. It is completely non-invasive and safe to use. The infrared light from the sensor does not affect human tissue, and will not affect people with pacemakers, people who are pregnant, or those with other medical conditions.

Preparing for your scan 

For optimal results, please wear form-fitting clothing. For women, this could be a sports bra and leggings, and bike shorts for men. Wrinkles and folds of a loose shirt or baggy shorts can mask your body shape. You will have a private room to perform your scan. If you have long hair, we recommend tying it up above your neck and shoulders.
