Unlocking Your Fitness Potential with SCANBE base

In a world increasingly recognizing the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle, Wacoal has stepped up to the plate with its innovative service, SCANBE base. Launching on July 1, 2026, this 3D measurement service aims to revolutionize how individuals track their fitness journey in gyms and healthcare facilities.

The Health Crisis and the Rise of Personal Health Records

As our lifestyles have evolved, so too have the challenges related to physical activity and health longevity. There is a growing societal awareness regarding the need for exercise and maintaining a healthy lifecycle. This awareness is paired with a rising interest in Personal Health Records (PHR), which are set to expand significantly by 2030. However, many individuals find it challenging to perceive their physical changes solely through metrics like weight or calorie burn. This gap in understanding can be demotivating, leading to inconsistent fitness habits.

The Development of SCANBE base

With over six decades of accumulated knowledge in human measurement at the Wacoal Human Science Research and Development Center, the SCANBE base was developed to address these challenges. The service leverages the expertise gained from the existing SCANBE system, transforming subjective perceptions of one’s body into concrete data presented in the form of 3D visuals. This service allows users to measure their body size and shape intricately and gives them tools to visualize their developmental success.

The base experience involves a quick 3-second 3D scan that captures body measurements while users wear snug-fitting exercise clothing. In total, the scanning process takes approximately 10 minutes. Users can then access their results via a smartphone, offering a seamless way to compare past results over time.

Features and Accessibility

The SCANBE base service is gender-inclusive and emphasizes user convenience. With frequent monitoring, users will be able to see trends in their body shape changes through time-series graphs. By translating what was once felt into quantifiable data, individuals can better understand their progress, which is instrumental for motivation and long-term commitment to fitness.

Wacoal aims to extend the reach of SCANBE base beyond just gyms. Potential installations in sports retailers, competition organizations, local governments, and research institutions are in the pipeline. The company envisions SCANBE base as a stepping stone toward creating increased value and innovative services within the sports and health industry.

How SCANBE base Works

The SCANBE base provides dynamic visualizations using 3D data, allowing individuals to ascertain body shape and size with previously unachievable accuracy. Users receive comprehensive 360-degree visuals of their bodies alongside measurement datasets from 21 key areas such as chest circumference, upper arm girth, thigh circumference, waist circumference, height, and arm length. Additionally, volume data from eight body parts are available, as well as trends reflecting changes in their physique over time. This allows users to understand their unique metrics better, leading to improved self-awareness and motivation to continue their health journey.

Cost and Payment

For a single 3D scan, the pricing is 2,000 yen (tax included). Payments are exclusively through cashless options, ensuring a streamlined and modern approach to transactions.

Future Endeavors

As part of its launch campaign, Wacoal will showcase SCANBE base at SPORTEC 2026, Japan's largest international sports and health industry exhibition, occurring from July 8 to July 10, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience SCANBE base firsthand, solidifying Wacoal’s commitment to fostering community engagement and promoting health initiatives.

In conclusion, SCANBE base not only offers a unique experience but an ethos: “Know your body and transform yourself.” This encapsulates Wacoal's vision of empowering individuals with data to motivate positive changes in their lives. As the launch date approaches, anticipation builds for what this innovative service will bring to the fitness landscape.
