What Makes InBody Different?
Traditional BIA technology measures the human body as a single-cylinder using one frequency, which increases the likelihood of inaccurate results.
Conventional BIA devices use empirical estimations based on factors like age and sex to help improve accuracy. While this may work for people with a standard body type, it is inaccurate for those who do not fit this mold, such as fit elderly adults.
Everyone has a unique body composition—that’s why InBody makes innovative technology tailored to the individual, not a group.
InBody’s medical-grade body composition analyzers use four pillars of technology to provide accurate, precise direct segmental measurement multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-MFBIA) extensively validated to gold-standard methods.

What is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)?
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for measuring body composition, including muscle mass, body fat, and total body water. Alternating low and high-frequency electrical currents are sent through the water in the body via contact with electrodes to measure impedance.
The impedance is used to determine total body water (TBW), which can then be used to derive your fat-free mass—the portion of your body that does not contain fat, including your muscle and bone—and finally, body fat.

4 Pillars
-
Multiple Frequencies
-
InBody uses multiple currents at varying frequencies to provide precise body water analysis.
-
-
8- point tactile Electrode System
-
When measuring impedance with electrodes, contact resistance occurs. InBody accounts for contact resistance with strategically placed electrodes to ensure that measurements are accurate and reproducible.
-
-
Direct Segmental Measurements
-
InBody measures each of the body’s five cylinders (left arm, right arm, torso, left leg, and right leg) to deliver accurate and detailed results.
-
-
No Empirical Estimations
-
InBody measures your impedance independently, so your results are not affected by your age, sex, ethnicity, athleticism, or body shape.
-
Disclaimers
-
InBody is NOT to be used by anyone with an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker or essential support devices such as patient monitoring systems
