I think this is the most incredible PH listing I have seen to date. Way to go!

I'll admit that my initial reaction to Shapescale was that it seemed a bit superfluous, but seeing the full product now it reminds me of the management philosophy "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it". Very cool guys.

@brian_liou Yes exactly, today there is hardly a good measure of progress apart from DXA scans and medical grade 4 points bioimpedance. It's unlikely that you are able to use one of those in the comfort of your home.

finally someone did this!

@shauli_daon Thanks! It's taken us a lot of work and effort to get there!

Super proud of you guys Martin and Alexandre - going from Hong Kong to YC to bringing Shape Scale to market. I'll definitely be buying one.

@nzieber Thanks, Nick! It's been a long journey. Hope to pay Hong Kong a visit soon enough again! 🙂

I know this isn't rocket science but I didn't expect to see something like this before 2020

@vict_r Thanks Victor, really makes us happy to hear that we are bringing the future to you.

Looks really cool - reasonably​ priced compared to naked fit. I just don't see the need for yet another cloud subscription. We should be able to save our progress in our Dropbox.

@erickbarron86 That's where we are going but for the first couple of years we decided to adopt a subscription model in order to lower the upfront cost for the user. Having a subscription not only allow us to make it more affordable but it allows us to dedicate a lot of resources into continuously improving the software and user experience.

This is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. So many people get demoralized when starting a new workout routine because they don't see results on their standard scales, which only measure one number. With Shapescale, they'd actually be able to see lean muscle mass growing, fat dropping, and would be motivated to keep going. Can't wait to give it a try!

This is AWESOME. Do you guys have plans for nutrition input in the software as well?

@robynexton Hi Robyn, yes it's the natural next step. But we need to focus first on offering our user the user experience for tracking their progress.

Love seeing innovation in this space. I currently get dexa scans every 2-3 months. How similar are your results? Have you been comparing to DXA?

@mscccc Hey Mike so ShapeScale is closer to hydrostatic weighing. We take your body measures with highest accuracy and calculate your body volume to get your body fat and lean mass. ShapeScale comes in pretty close but won't be quite as accurate and we won't be able to measure your visceral body fat since we are only measuring what's outside. Having said that, a DXA can't give you your girth and visual feedback. Plus like you said you cannot do them every day within your own four walls!
