Abstract
Qiao et al. recently investigated the ability of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans and a smartphone app to provide detailed body composition and shape data. In a healthcare system that continues to rely on crude and stigmatizing measurements like body-mass index (BMI), their findings point to the potential of newer technologies to capture markers (i.e., visceral adiposity and fat distribution patterns) that provide clearer insights into metabolic health.
期刊介绍：
npj Digital Medicine is an online open-access journal that focuses on publishing peer-reviewed research in the field of digital medicine. The journal covers various aspects of digital medicine, including the application and implementation of digital and mobile technologies in clinical settings, virtual healthcare, and the use of artificial intelligence and informatics.
The primary goal of the journal is to support innovation and the advancement of healthcare through the integration of new digital and mobile technologies. When determining if a manuscript is suitable for publication, the journal considers four important criteria: novelty, clinical relevance, scientific rigor, and digital innovation.
