Body Volume Index: Beyond BMI, a Health Revolution

---

At Body Volume Index Ltd. we are setting a new standard in personal health monitoring with the relaunch of our revamped mybvi app and our brand-new website. This transformative development makes cutting-edge BVI technology, previously available only to medical professionals and researchers, accessible to the general public. By addressing the well-documented limitations of Body Mass Index (BMI), the mybvi app provides a revolutionary way to understand and manage personal health.

Why Body Volume Index is a Game-Changer

Traditional BMI measures only height and weight, failing to differentiate between fat and muscle mass or account for fat distribution - key factors in assessing health risks (Nuttall, 2015). The mybvi app tackles these challenges head-on, offering a highly accurate assessment of body composition that goes beyond BMI. With just a smartphone, you can gain personalised health insights through an intuitive and accessible process that eliminates the need for wearable devices or additional equipment.

Using state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning, the mybvi app provides a more precise picture of health risks, particularly those associated with fat distribution around the abdomen - a major predictor of conditions like metabolic syndrome (Medina-Inojosa et al., 2024).
