Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DEXA, body composition scans provide a detailed look at a member's body fat, visceral fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. These scans, along with Future's bloodwork, sleep tracking and mobility assessment offerings, now give members and their coaches more objective data to integrate into their health plan, making it easier to build and track progress over time.
"A DEXA scan is much more valuable when it's part of an ongoing coaching relationship," said Ali Jafari, CEO of Future. "Our coaches help members understand their results, build a plan around them, and track their progress over time, giving members a reason to get a subsequent scan through Bodyspec to see what's changed."
Early data from the beta suggests that members who complete a DEXA scan are more engaged with their coach and their health plan. Among 185 members with at least 30 days in the program, those who completed a DEXA scan averaged 5.8 workouts per week compared with 3.7 for members who did not complete a scan. They also exchanged an average of 6.7 messages per week with their coach, compared with 4.7.
BodySpec, the leading provider of accessible, medical-grade DEXA scans for body composition, will serve as Future's preferred partner across 15 metropolitan markets, including Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, Denver, San Diego, Seattle, and more. Future Core members receive one DEXA scan annually, while Premium members receive quarterly scans, with additional scans available for purchase directly through the Future app.
"We scan more than a thousand people each day across the U.S. to help them get a clear and accurate picture of their body composition – a key indicator of overall health and longevity," said Elaine Shi, co-founder and CEO of BodySpec. "Now, in our work together with Future, members will have a new way to incorporate their DEXA results into a continuous health plan, measure their progress over time, and make better, real-time decisions about their health."
Starting today, Future Core members will receive one DEXA scan annually, while Premium members receive quarterly scans, with additional scans available for purchase directly through the Future app.
