Sadly, in 2024, Skulpt has stopped selling their body composition scanner. I've really come to appreciate Skulpt as one of the best measures of body composition. I expect their app will become non-functional at some point, and the device will be effectively bricked. <br/>
Skulpt is a small device, a little bigger than a deck of playing cards that estimate body fat and muscle quality. I've found it to be one of the most useful and accurate ways of estimating body fat. It uses a similar principle to [[Body Fat Scales]], sending an imperceptible electrical current through the skin. However, there are a number of key benefits to Skulpt.
* Skulpt compares well with the gold standard for measuring body fat, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-energy_X-ray_absorptiometry DEXA], and the results appear to be far better than other approaches. See Validation Research below for details.
