No Wearables,
No Smart Scales.
Traditional methods like BMI don’t tell the full story.
mybvi uses advanced computer learning combined with
3D scanning to give you precise body composition insights.
How It Works
The mybvi app is designed to be your personal health companion. It provides an easy way to measure, track, and enhance your well-being by measuring both the inside and outside of your body.

Scan
Stand facing forwards with your arms held out straight at a 45 degree angle for front facing photo. For the side facing photo, you should exactly side on with your feet together and your arms straight down, not looking at the camera.

Measurements
What We Provide
BVI goes beyond weight alone, analysing key body measurements to provide a clearer picture of health. By assessing fat distribution and body shape, it delivers more accurate insights into metabolic risk.
Body Volume Index
BVI evaluates fat distribution and body shape to provide a clearer assessment of metabolic risk than BMI. It categorises risk into four levels - Low, Low to Medium, Medium to High, and High - allowing for better health and clinical decision-making.
Visceral Fat %
Visceral fat is the fat stored deep inside the abdomen, surrounding organs like the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is highly metabolically active, meaning too much visceral fat increases the risk of type-2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, and even some cancers over time.
Total Body Fat
Body fat, also called adipose tissue, plays a crucial role in energy storage, insulation, and hormone regulation. While some fat is essential for survival, excessive fat increases the risk of obesity-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, affecting overall health.
Waist-to-Hip Ratio
Waist-to-hip ratio compares waist size to hip size to determine fat distribution patterns. A higher ratio suggests more abdominal fat, which is linked to a greater likelihood of obesity-related conditions, including heart disease and insulin resistance.
Waist-to-Height Ratio
Waist-to-height ratio is calculated by dividing waist size by total height. Research suggests that keeping the waist size less than half of height is a reliable marker of health risk across all ages, making it a simple yet effective screening tool.
Waist Circumference
Measured at the midpoint between the ribs and pelvis, waist circumference is a strong predictor of health risks. A larger waist size is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and type-2 diabetes, making it a key health metric.
Redefining health with innovation.
Our vision to revolutionise health began with a question: Surely we can measure obesity better than using the Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Traditional methods like BMI fail to tell the full story, because they don't take body shape into account. That’s why our research team developed the Body Volume Index, a cutting-edge approach that uses AI and 3D body scanning to assess weight and body fat distribution, waist-hip ratio, and much more.
Years of scientific study revealed that where fat is stored matters more than weight alone. Two people with the same BMI can have vastly different health risks depending on their body composition. That's where BVI fits in, to help resolve that dilemma.
With BVI, we go beyond simple manual metrics to give individuals, health professionals, and organisations a more accurate, personalised way to understand health.
