What are you made of: Visualize your health with tech

Health Tech – What are you made of: Visualize your health with tech

Get back on the right track to achieving their fitness goals and keep your doctor or trainer accountable for their products and services.

You’ll have access to a unique 3D body scanner (keep your clothes on) that will allow you to visualize your body and health with an accurate and reliable measurement in under 60 seconds (valued at over $100).

Obesity is an abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a health risk. It increases morbidity and mortality in the Black community at a greater rate that in the rest of society.

Unfortunately, most people only have access to their body mass index (BMI), which is an outdated way of measuring risk and managing weight.

While fitness and medical professionals have known this for years, access to gold-standard equipment is usually reserved for high-level athletes or comes with a big price tag. While healthcare is complex, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to health, there is something we can do. We can start by leveraging technology to give Black Americans access to their own data so they can make decisions to positively affect their health and wellness.

This all starts with having access to technology that gives data, professionals to help interpret data, and then a system for accountability and support.

Come join Coach Ambrose in your favorite workout heart (no worries, you will not break a sweat) and learn what you are made of. 3D body scanning is set to make people more physically aware of their bodies and be able to see if the medication, programs, and services they use are actually working for them.

With the right visual, people will see what they are made of, understand everyone is not the same, and be able to make the best decision for their health.
