Bioelectric-Based Body Analyzer Device Indigenized in Iran
The body composition analyzer, named Anea, is a specialized tool for examining body composition, which provides comprehensive information about people's health status by using bioimpedance technology.
The results of the analysis provided by the device are used in medical, sports and health monitoring centers for training, nutrition and weight loss or weight gain programs.
The body composition analyzer is capable of measuring different body composition elements like fat, protein, etc. Among the applications of Anea are assessment of people's health and fitness as an assistant for experts in nutritionists and sports trainers to analyze the body of patients or athletes.
In a relevant development in late 2022, another Iranian knowledge-based company had also managed to manufacture a body analyzer machine which was presented to the market at one tenth of the price of its foreign model.
“Our knowledge-based company operates under the brand ‘Anya’ and it has presented a body composition analysis device used in nutrition clinics, sports clubs and fitness clinics,” said Amir Imani, the head of the Board of Directors of Sarang Industrial Solutions company.
He added that the device analyses the body in terms of fat, muscle, protein, intracellular and extracellular water, visceral fat, basic metabolism and some other parameters, which shows information both in the whole body and separately.
“The body composition analysis device is equipped with 8 electrodes; 4 electrodes are placed on the soles of the feet and 4 electrodes are placed on the palms of the hands when the person holds the handles, and it enjoys multi-frequency so that different frequencies are applied to the body from 1 to 200 kHz and the measurement is performed,” Imani said.
