Skulpt
The Skulpt is a pretty nifty device that lets you find your body fat percentage on various muscles locations on your body. Using Electrical Impedance Myography, it uses its 12 sensors to send a small current past the subcutaneous fat and through the muscle and come up with the values.
This portable, lightweight device tracks the result of your fitness progress. It measures when you’re losing fat and gaining muscle, by providing a measure of Muscle Quality (MQ) and fat percentage for individual muscles or your whole body. A matching mobile app tracks your progress over time and lets you see which are your strongest muscles or which muscles need work. The technology used in the Skulpt is called Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM). It has 12 sensors on the back with optimized configurations and frequencies.
When placed on the muscle, it sends a small current past the subcutaneous fat and through the muscle. Since current flows differently in fat than in muscle, and in a fit muscle than an unfit one, the EIM technique can evaluate the quality of the muscle, and the percentage of surrounding fat.
- Measures Muscle Quality (MQ) and fat percentage
- Provides results for up to 24 different muscles
- Measures total body fat % and MQ from 4 measurements: biceps, triceps, abs, quads
- Portable, splash proof, and easy to use
- Sync wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart to your smartphone
