Handheld scanning
Body Surface Translations, Inc. (BST) designs cutting-edge 3D imaging technology for human and animal applications.
AutoAnthro
AutoAnthro measures human body parameters using lightweight, handheld scanners. AutoAnthro scanners allow healthcare professionals, researchers, and public health enumerators to gather anthropometric data accurately, quickly, and securely while also reducing the invasiveness of the data collection process as compared to traditional anthropometry.
WeightReader
BST’s livestock technology captures key measurements of the animal’s overall structure and determines weight. It allows producers to avoid expensive ‘sort loss’ and to track gain and other health indicators without requiring the animals to step on a scale or leave their pen.
