Anthropometric evaluation of a 3D scanning mobile application.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems are increasingly being used in health care settings for quantifying body size and shape. The potential exists to provide similar phenotyping capabilities outside of professional settings using smartphone applications (apps). The current study aim was to compare waist, hip, upper arm, and midthigh circumference measurements acquired by a free downloadable app (MeThreeSixty; Size Stream, Cary, North Carolina) and a conventional 20-camera 3D system (SS20; Size Stream) with those measured with a flexible tape at the same anatomic sites.

Methods

Fifty-nine adults were scanned with the app and SS20; the same software was used to generate circumference estimates from device-acquired object files that were then compared with reference
