Skulpt’s Aim is the world’s first wireless device that determines the health of your muscles. It uses electrical impedance myography (EMI) developed by Skulpt co founder Dr Seward Rutkove of Harvard Medical School. The device, which is smaller than a smartphone, is pressed against the skin where key muscles are located (specifically the biceps, triceps, abs and thigh). The Aim sends an undetectable current through the body wherever it makes contact; its sensors can distinguish both muscle from fat, and weaker muscles from stronger ones. Algorithms then convert the data into fat percentage and muscle quality that are shown on the screen. Priced at $149, the Aim can help users improve their overall fitness.
The underside of the Aim consists of 12 electrodes that measure how current moves through the target muscles. It is recommended that the user take measurements at four sites (biceps, triceps, abs, and thighs) to obtain a snapshot of the total body fat percentage and muscle quality, with each measurement taking less than a second. The measurements are instantly displayed on the device’s LED screen. The Aim also includes Bluetooth communication to allow the user to monitor his or her fitness through an online dashboard. The online companion tool allows the user to set workout goals to reach a certain muscle quality target and also provides active fitness advice to the user. The Aim is water resistant, allowing for it to be used in a wide range of environments and the rechargeable battery can last up to two months at a time.
