Diagnostic Test: Computer based vision application by video
Radiation: whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan
Registration Number
NCT04563637
Lead Sponsor
Centennial Medical Group
Brief Summary

This study is being done to test whether a HealthReel computer vision-based software application can estimate body fat percentage with equivalent accuracy to a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan.

Detailed Description

This study is being done to test whether a computer vision-based software application can estimate body fat percentage with equivalent accuracy to a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. The dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan involves lying on a machine for about 6-10 minutes. It is an open design. The study will also examine whether waist circumference measurement improves the accuracy of the body fat percentage estimate by the computer vision-based application.A total of approximately 492 subjects are planned to take part in this study at one study center.

Computer Based VisionComputer based vision application by videoA 15 second long video will be obtained at the research site using a smart phone or tablet. Then subjects will undergo a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan . Then the subject will go home and take a second 15 second long video. The videos will then be analyzed by computer based vision application and the body fat percentage measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan will be compared.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
variance in body fat percentage between computervision application and dexa scan8 months

Variance between body fat percentage measured by smart phone applicaiton compared to body fat percentage as measured by DEXA scan

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
abdominal circumference8 months

Analysis will be undertaken to see if the variance between application and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry is reduced when the abdominal circumference is included in the application or whether inclusion of abdominal circumference does not reduce the variance.
