Body scanning can be a useful way to visualize changes over time, provided its limitations are understood.
What a fitness body scan can show
A body-scan experience may create visual representations or estimated body measurements using supported device inputs. The exact outputs and accuracy depend on the product, capture method and conditions.
Consistency matters more than one scan
If you compare scans, use similar lighting, clothing, posture and camera distance. Variation in capture conditions can affect apparent changes.
Avoid treating estimates as diagnoses
Consumer body-scan outputs should not be used to diagnose health conditions or substitute for clinical measurement. Focus on broad trends and discuss health concerns with a qualified professional.
Use scanning alongside other progress indicators
Consider training consistency, energy, strength and how you feel in daily life. Fitro aims to connect the body-scan experience with wider fitness habits instead of treating one image as the whole story.
