This study is being done to test whether a HealthReel computer vision-based software application can estimate body fat percentage with equivalent accuracy to a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan.
This study is being done to test whether a computer vision-based software application can estimate body fat percentage with equivalent accuracy to a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. The dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan involves lying on a machine for about 6-10 minutes. It is an open design. The study will also examine whether waist circumference measurement improves the accuracy of the body fat percentage estimate by the computer vision-based application.A total of approximately 492 subjects are planned to take part in this study at one study center.

variance in body fat percentage between computervision application and dexa scan
Variance between body fat percentage measured by smart phone applicaiton compared to body fat percentage as measured by DEXA scan
Time frame: 8 months
abdominal circumference
Analysis will be undertaken to see if the variance between application and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry is reduced when the abdominal circumference is included in the application or whether inclusion of abdominal circumference does not reduce the variance.
Time frame: 8 months
