BVI as a Health Indicator

BVI, through the Body Benchmark Study will, following completion of the project ,potentially allow a healthcare professional to:-

• Automatically measure the changes in a person's weight distribution.
• Assess risks associated with greater or less weight in a given region compared to the rest of the body, for example the percentage of the abdominal area
• Relate health risk of a person to their body shape, taking previous medical history, blood results, age, gender and ethnicity into account
• Compare a patient's BVI against the average for their age and ethnic grouping
• Produce a patient information sheet, providing comparison against previous scans for the patient 
• Use as a diagnostic tool to discuss sensitive body shape issues with a patient and to use as a motivational tool for obesity, anoxeria and other health issues.
