Revolutionizing bone health assessment: Portable bone density scans, anytime, anywhere, without the need for a prescription
We specialize in one groundbreaking service, utilizing our state-of-the-art Echolight REMS machine to accurately measure bone density and assess fracture risk. Unlike traditional DXA scans, which are often considered the standard despite their limitations, our portable solution offers highly precise assessments without the need for a prescription or exposure to radiation.
In Italy, our technology has already replaced DXA scans as the gold standard for bone density assessment. Now, we’re bringing this innovation to the United States, offering affordable, 20-minute appointments that provide a comprehensive understanding of bone health. What sets our technology apart is its ability to delve beyond the surface of bones, examining internal microarchitecture for a true measurement of fracture risk—a vital aspect often overlooked by traditional methods.
Our mission is to empower individuals to take proactive steps in managing their bone health. Traditional protocols often delay bone density assessments until later in life, leaving individuals unaware of potential risks for years. Shockingly, 6 out of 10 people with osteoporosis are unaware of their condition. Furthermore, men are rarely recommended DXA scans, depriving them of crucial information regarding their bone health. With our accessible and affordable solution, both men and women can easily assess their risk factors, without the need for a prescription.
As this technology is relatively new to the US, awareness is limited. But we’re committed to spreading the word and revolutionizing bone health assessments for all.
The scan and verbal review of results takes about 15-20 minutes. (You’ll get a digital copy within 12—48 hours).
You should wear loose fitting clothing that allows you to easily pull your waistband down one side close to your mid-thigh, and your shirt up to your mid-chest ( to approximately a woman’s bra line).
Yes, and more. In addition to BMD, T-Score, and Z-Score; you’ll receive a fracture risk score similar to FRAX but based on a view of the micro-architecture of your bones instead of a combination of T-score and risk analysis questions.
Traditional scans evaluate the exterior of the bone to assess fracture risk, relying on this external analysis alongside a lifestyle questionnaire to gauge your risk. However, they miss crucial insights from the bone’s internal structure, where its true strength or vulnerability resides. In contrast, Echolight REMS technology delves deeper, examining not only the bone’s surface but also its internal micro-architecture. This comprehensive approach provides a more definitive understanding of your bone’s health, offering a more thorough evaluation, enhancing early detection and proactive management of bone health
DXA scans are normally prescribed at two-year intervals. Given the Echolight’s absence of radiation, ability to detect far smaller changes in bone density, and availability without a doctor’s prescription, one may choose to do scans more frequently, particularly if actively monitoring anticipated changes in bone density. We suggest waiting at least six. We suggest waiting at least six months between scans. Twelve to twenty-four months is a sufficient interval for most people months between scans
Follow up Echolight REMS scans can be accomplished on different Echolight machines, with different operators, and achieve results you can trust.
Instructions will be provided to help you easily understand and read your scan outcomes.

No. Echolight scan results are not influenced by the operator or machine like other scans.
The Echolight REMS scans not just the outside of the bone but the internal micro-architecture of the bone as well, giving you a definitive picture of the health of your bone. DXA scans traditionally only look at the outside of the bone and calculate fracture risk through that limited view combined with lifestyle questions.

Indeed, we are willing to come to your location, nationwide. Please note, certain minimum requirements will apply.
Absolutely, your earnings could exceed $1000 depending on the volume of scans conducted. We invite you to get in touch with us for details on our host incentives.
Scans can be conducted in a compact treatment room or, alternatively, in any area where privacy is ensured through the use of dividers or temporary barriers.
A chair, a table for placing a computer and keyboard, and a massage or examination table for the individuals being scanned are required. A portable massage table can be supplied by us if necessary.
The probability of suffering from osteoporosis strongly increases during menopause due to the interruption of estrogen production by the ovaries that characterize this phase of a woman's life. Early menopause significantly increases this risk
Osteoporosis, in menopause or not, is a pathology that attacks the bones, making them fragile, increasing risks for fracture especially in the femur, hp, and spine. Loss of bone mineral density is rapid during, and often following, menopause.
Now, assessing bone density of the vertebrae and femur without X-rays is achievable through a straightforward, radiation-free method. This strategy enables the implementation of appropriate preventative and therapeutic measures.
People with diabetes have a greater risk of osteoporosis and fractures, since the disease directly influences bone metabolism. In fact, those affected are affected by a reduction in Igf+1, a hormone that has an important effect on bone growth. In addition, some diabetes medications can cause bone demineraliization.
The factors associated with diabetes that have been identified as contributing to Osteoporosis fractures include:

Patients with chronic renal failure show deficiency of vitamin D and vitamin K which regulate bone mineral metabolism and calcium, thus causing evident imbalances such as hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia and mineral homeostasis.
Nephropathies that evolve in chro- nic renal failure cause more severe bone disorders going towards renal osteodystrophy. Loss of bone mass and fracture risk appear more precociously and with a higher prevalence in nephropathic patients

Undergoing treatments involving certain chemotherapeutic drugs, steroids, or ablative hormonal therapies can lead to a progressive deterioration and weakening of the bones. This process, often resulting from decalcification, elevates the risk of fractures.
Oncology therapies often lead to a significant reduction in estrogen, which in turn accelerates the process of bone degradation. The majority of fractures resulting from this condition occur in the vertebrae. These fractures are common and, regrettably, often present without symptoms, making them difficult to detect.
