Know your Body
From the Inside

It is a non-invasive and innovative wellness screening device that detects underlying mechanisms of diseases many years before they take hold.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis or Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) is a method of assessing your “body composition” –the measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass.  It is an integral part of a health and nutrition assessment

Technologies behind Bodyscan360:

Galvanic skin response
The Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) is defined as a change in the electrical properties of the skin. The signal can be used for capturing the autonomic nerve responses as a parameter of the sweat gland function.

Heart rate variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat interval.

Digital pulse wave analysis
The photoelectrical Plethysmography displays the contour of the peripheral pulse waveform related with the volume changes in artery.

Body composition and bioimpedance
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a widely used technique for estimating body composition and it is particularly useful in large, population-based studies because it is quick, portable, inexpensive and noninvasive.

Research has shown that body composition is directly related to health.  A normal balance of body fat is associated with good health and longevity.  BIA fosters early detection of an improper balance in your body composition, which allows earlier intervention and prevention.  BIA also provides a measurement of fluid and body mass that can be a critical assessment tool for your current state of health. BIA also serves to measure your progress as you work to improve your health.  With your BIA results, we can recommend a personalized dietary plan, nutritional supplements, and exercise to help you support optimal health and well-being for a lifetime. 

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based medical speciality designed to prevent, arrest and sometimes even reverse chronic disease. The six main interventions are the adoption of a predominately whole food plant-based diet, increased physical activity, a focus on stress management and resilience, encouraging restorative sleep, fostering social connections, and managing toxic load from the diet and environment.

It screens for early changes that lead to disease. It provides insights into multiple body functions that are performing well, while at the same time flags areas for attention. The aim is to optimise health and prevent disease. Conventional medicine focuses on diagnosis and symptom management.

The BodyScan360 system uses a combination of four different technologies in one device. These are bioimpedance analysis, galvanic skin response, heart rate variability and digital pulse-wave analysis.

The six key biomarkers selected are vascular age and status of arteries, insulin resistance and pre-diabetes, oxidative stress (free radical damage), visceral fat and body composition, stress level and fatigue, and microcirculation.

The advanced functions (up to 300 outputs) also provide insights into lipid status, liver function, prostate, thyroid and brain neurotransmitters, heart anatomy, lymphatic system, vertebral spine and innervation pathways, gut pH and permeability, adrenal output and dental screening, among others.

Please note this does not test for any structural abnormalities such as MRI, CT or Xray to detect for abnormal growths and tumours.

People present to GPs with concerns about symptoms that have already developed. Traditional medicine is designed to detect and manage disease using pharmaceutical medicines and invasive tests. Bodyscan360 pre-empts this and enables natural lifestyle changes to maximise vitality and longevity.

Companies such as Medichecks, Randox or Thriva are becoming increasingly popular, when access to HSE testing is difficult. The BodyScan360 does not test for actual diagnostic values, but it provides a whole-body MOT and signposts where to focus attention. Isolated tests EG. Thyroid, blood lipids or vitamin D may be cheaper, whereas a comprehensive BodyScan360 saves time and money.
