@jared_allgood Great question! The problem with weight is that it distills your entire health down to a single one-dimensional number that doesn't tell the whole story. However, your scan will provide you the rich visual information to keep doing what you're doing, if for example, your weight is unchanged but you've gained 5lbs of muscle and lost 5lbs of fat.

@jared_allgood I've been a Naked tester since April. I can tell you that the initial advantage is being able to see and measure the impact of a localized muscle program (e.g. seeing calf / bicep diameter change). Also, seeing hips/waistline shrink never gets old. The broader effect is knowing in the back of my mind that no matter what, I'll scan tomorrow or the next day. Naked is so accurate that skipping a workout day or eating unhealthily is going to show up quickly both in my numbers and in my 3D model. So as a commitment device, it has functioned a lot like a human personal trainer might. It kept me on a flawless 60-day fitness challenge for the first time in my life.
Congratulation on bringing such an awesome and innovative product to the product. I see the mirror is plugged into the wall. But what about the scale? Does it need batteries? How often do I need to change them and what kind of batteries?
@bennader_ The scale contains a lithium ion battery that only needs to be recharged approximately once every 30-40 scans. The Naked App will tell you when your battery is low and you charge via a USB-C cable that connects the scale to the mirror!
Good morning ProductHunt,
We’re excited to announce that Naked starts shipping today. This journey began 3 years ago with just my co-founder Ed and I, and the team (now close to 50) has been hard at work bringing the product to life with backing from Founders Fund, NEA, and others. We can’t begin to express how excited we are to deliver Naked to our customers’ homes.
This product is designed to provide folks with a more holistic way of tracking their fitness progress. We want to take the focus off of the scale and help users visualize their progress faster than anything else.
As an special offer to all you Hunters out there, you can use NAKED-HUNT for $100 off a Naked. As we are currently in the process of fulfilling all of our pre-orders before shipping new orders, we are taking deposits on our website to ship at the end of the year.
Please feel free to ask myself and my co-founder Ed any questions you might have about the technology, the app, the team, and our future vision for Naked.
Cheers,
Farhad

@farhad_farahbakhshian congratulations on launching. It looks like this is a very unique product. I don’t see any others with the same functionality in this price range. The main application is fitness. Any other that you foresee down the road?
@vullal1 -- we're seeing some really interesting applications that could be enabled with Naked. The need for body information and a platform to host it will grow over time. Imagine being able to see how clothes fit with without ever having to try them on. Or, getting real-time advice from your trainer or physician based on how your body is changing over time. At a high level, we think that having a digital version of you will help conform the world to your body.
@farhad_farahbakhshian Nice work! I imagine the data you'll collect will be interesting at a larger scale. Do you imagine there will be value to the broader dataset or trend analysis becomes possible? i.e. Workouts that are most effective, diets, etc?
@farhad_farahbakhshian@andrewfarah Absolutely! We're already actively engaging in research to understand how your body shape and metrics relate to health outcomes and success in both exercise and nutrition programs.
@rrhoover -- Good question. We're actually using body spec and other DXA systems as a reference method, our body fat algorithms are accurate to approximately +/- 2.5%. This is considerably higher than other in home body composition assessments, like bioimpedance, which has an accuracy of approximately +/- 8% and fluctuates markedly with varying levels of hydration.
The most challenging thing about measuring body fat accurately is that it's very difficult to establish ground truth. Hence, why we're using DXA as our reference.

Hi! Excited to get my preorder scanner in a few weeks. Are there any new features or updates in the works from the initial product we reserved?
Hi @christinarath -- One of the new features that you should see on the app is side by side comparisons. This allows you to compare two avatars from two different dates and see how every health metric has changed. Check it out on the product page of our website (link below).

We're currently building a really cool feature that will show you what you would look like at different body compositions. For example, you can see how your body would look with 5lb more muscle or 5lb less fat.

How can I be sure I place the scale the same distance away from the mirror?
It seems an inch closer or further away here or there could effect the scan.
How do you compensate for this?
Report
@jstottle Before each scan, the scale fires a laser to guide placement. This is great because after scanning, you can just tuck the scale back in its nook under the mirror.
Wow really nice work - this seems like a potential leap forward in fitness/health. One quick question: does Naked support multiple users on the same body scanner?
@drew_fraser Not a problem. I've been using it in beta with my whole family and Naked creates a separate user for each person in the app on your phone. You can even log in and out in the app to switch users.
