Test Protocol
Preparation
- Clothing: Wear tight-fitting athletic clothing (e.g., compression wear or sportswear) or minimal attire like fitted underwear to reduce measurement errors.
- Consistency: Use the same clothing for follow-up scans to track progress accurately.
- Remove Accessories: Take off shoes, jewellery, watches, and other accessories.
- Hair: Tie back long hair to keep it off the shoulders and neck.
- Hydration and Food: Maintain normal hydration, but avoid heavy meals immediately before the scan.
- No Recent Exercise: Avoid intense physical activity for at least 2-3 hours prior to the scan, as sweat and pump can slightly alter results.
Testing Phase
- Stand barefoot on the platform with arms extended slightly away from the body.
- While standing in a neutral upright position the platform will rotate 360 degrees while capturing the infrared scan
