Would like to know opinions on Shapescale. @richard @carl or any admins or contributors do you have any information on this?

Oh yeah. I found this in a FB Group and have no financial interest in this company. I’m simply frustrated with having to rely on the VA to take their time to fit me in for a dexoscan.

Looks cool but I never buy stuff i can’t find om Amazon. I’m a bit spoiled from access to reviews and untrusting of products that don’t appear on Amazon. There may be a totally legitimate reason it’s not listed but I can’t see reviews all the same. Only thing i see on Amazon is the usual impedance body comp scales. Nothing innovative there, I’ve had one for 5 years anf and i don’t put much faith in it. I just pose in the mirror at the gym and that’s where i get my measurements

It’s effectively a Microsoft Kinnect embedded into a rotating arm, and Microsoft experts on the Kinnect call @Carl when they have questions they can’t answer :slight_smile:

What it will do is tell you volumetric changes, it won’t tell you body composition. A DEXA will tell you your lean mass. This device is just a fancy tape measure.
