CERRITOS, Calif., Aug. 14, 2023 โ Highlighting a growing interest in body composition data, InBody is celebrating a long-anticipated milestone: 100 million tests taken globally on their body composition analyzers as of Friday, Aug. 4.
โWeโve come a long way since InBodyโs founding in 1996,โ said Harry Yun, CEO of InBody USA. โThe popularity of our tests is skyrocketing. Even the American Medical Association is changing their tune about BMI and recommending that body composition testing be used in clinical settings.โ
Utilized in over 5,500 studies and trusted by notable hospitals, pro sports teams and the armed forces, InBodyโs professional body composition analyzers empower people of all fitness levels by providing insights into their muscle mass, body fat and other body composition metrics.
โAs the quality of InBodyโs devices becomes more well-known, weโre seeing an increased demand from doctorโs offices, gyms and med spas,โ said Dylan Crane, InBodyโs National Sales Manager. โYou can get an InBody Test almost anywhere in the world these days!โ
Currently, most consumers access InBody Tests through their healthcare facilities, pharmacies and gyms. Many large companies also offer InBody Tests on-site as a part of their wellness programs, including several Fortune 500 corporations.
Whenever a test is taken on an InBody device connected to LookinBody Web, InBodyโs cloud-based data management platform, itโs added to the running test tally kept on the platformโs homepage.
โLookinBody Web was launched in 2015, so we estimate that the actual number of completed InBody Tests is much higher than a hundred million, especially since our government clients donโt record their tests with it,โ said Steve Yi, InBodyโs Software Integration & Development Manager.
โWe created LookinBody Web to be a supplementary solution for businesses, but itโs been growing so fast, our team is inspired to focus more on research and development for it,โ Yi added. โNo longer just a support product, weโre going to expand LookinBody Web to solve more problems, meet more of our clientsโ needs, and be as secure and accessible as possible.โ
Dr. Monica Padilla, InBodyโs Clinical Program Manager of Clinical Research, said that the hundred million tests are significant from a healthcare perspective because they supply population data that optimizes the analysis available in the Comparison and Evaluation Result Sheets, which InBody 970 and BWA 2.0 owners can access via LookinBody Web.
โBeing able to contrast your patientsโ results with others in the same age group gives you a more objective way to target interventions,โ Padilla said. โCompanies who use InBody devices for their wellness programs also benefit, because it helps them understand how their employees compare to similar demographics and plan their wellness initiatives accordingly.โ
Moving forward, InBody will continue to progress towards their goal of building the worldโs most comprehensive database of body composition data, expanding the applications of their metrics for researchers, medical professionals, fitness professionals and consumers.
โThis data has opened the door for InBody to report on global health trends,โ Yi said. โOur 2023 annual report, which we released earlier this year, breaks down worldwide body composition trends, the impact of COVID-19 and 2023 healthcare outlooks on a country-by-country basis. We look forward to creating more reports like this, so that everyone can benefit from LookinBody Webโs data insights.โ
