Noom, a leader in digital healthcare, has partnered with AI company Prism Labs to introduce an in-app body scan feature, offering users a unique view of their body composition and personalized health insights. Using only a 10-second video recorded on a smartphone, the tool analyzes body composition to provide metrics such as body fat percentage, lean mass, and waist-to-hip ratio, creating a 3D body avatar for each user. This feature aims to support Noom’s Muscle Defense fitness program, which focuses on maintaining muscle mass during weight loss—a key element in promoting long-term wellness and reducing health risks associated with high fat and low muscle mass.
Prism Labs, known for its mobile body-mapping technology, developed the body scan tool to deliver high precision in body composition analysis, validated by third-party studies led by body composition expert Dr. Grant Tinsley. With an error rate as low as ±0.20% for body fat measurements, Prism Labs’ technology provides accessible, reliable insights that were once available only through specialized equipment. The new feature is being rolled out to Noom Healthy Weight and Noom Med subscribers, reflecting both companies’ missions to empower users with data-driven health insights and support healthier, longer lives.
