Future Teams Up with BodySpec for Enhanced Body Composition Scanning Services
Future and BodySpec Partnership: A New Era in Health Management
In a significant move towards redefining health monitoring, Future, the renowned health coaching company, has officially partnered with BodySpec, a leader in medical-grade DEXA body composition scans. This strategic collaboration aims to integrate advanced DEXA scanning technology into Future’s personalized health plans, providing members with deeper insights into their body composition across 15 major metropolitan areas, including cities like Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco.
Understanding the Partnership
The integration of BodySpec’s DEXA scans into Future’s health coaching framework promises to revolutionize the way members manage their health. DEXA, or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, scans are known for their ability to deliver precise measurements of body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. This data is crucial for tailoring health programs that effectively meet the unique needs of individuals.
According to Ali Jafari, CEO of Future, “A DEXA scan is much more valuable when it's part of an ongoing coaching relationship.” By leveraging the results from DEXA scans, coaches can provide personalized guidance, ensuring that health plans remain dynamic and responsive to changing circumstances. This relationship offers members clear reasons for follow-up scans to track their progress effectively.
Engaging Members through Data
The early results from a beta program reveal promising trends. Members who underwent a DEXA scan demonstrated higher engagement levels with their health plans. On average, these members engaged in 5.8 workouts per week compared to 3.7 workouts from those who did not complete a scan. The communication between members and their coaches was also greater, with DEXA scan participants averaging 6.7 messages per week versus 4.7 from their peers. This data showcases the potential of measurement in promoting active health management.
Scanning Availability and Access
As part of the partnership, Future offers its members one annual DEXA scan, while Premium level members will benefit from quarterly scans. The additional scans are also available for purchase directly via the Future app, making the process accessible and user-friendly. Members can now seamlessly incorporate their DEXA results into ongoing health strategies, tracking their progress and making informed decisions about their well-being in real-time.
Elaine Shi, co-founder and CEO of BodySpec, emphasized, “Now, in our work together with Future, members will have a new way to incorporate their DEXA results into a continuous health plan.” The collaboration is set to empower individuals with targeted information regarding their muscle mass, body fat, and overall health metrics.
