The Scale Lies. Styku Built a Spinning Camera That Doesn't.
A physicist who once worked on NASA's human spaceflight program bet that people quit diets because a bathroom scale can't show progress. His answer: a rotating infrared camera that turns your body into data - and, lately, a health screen.
DexaFit
DexaFit is a health-testing company that turns a quick, low-radiation full-body DXA scan into a broad picture of a person's health - body composition, bone density, visceral fat and metabolic markers. Its AI arm, DexaFit Dx, layers machine learning on top of those same scans to screen for major chronic diseases such as coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes, aiming to catch them early and non-invasively. Founded in Chicago in 2011 and now operating dozens of centers, DexaFit pairs in-person testing with an app that translates results into longevity scores, disease-risk estimates and trackable goals.
PhenoMx, Inc.
PhenoMx, Inc. is a New York digital health company turning ordinary MRI scanners into a 'Personalized Digital Physical Exam.' Its software-first platform applies quantitative imaging and machine learning to non-invasive MRI scans, measuring organs, tissues, body composition, brain, heart and joints over time. Founded in 2017 by Mark Punyanitya and Girish Srinivasan, PhenoMx aims to make precision medicine accessible far beyond the wealthy - from concierge athletes to value-based care and clinical trials worldwide.
Mark Punyanitya
Mark Punyanitya is a New York biomedical engineer turned founder who spent more than fifteen years measuring the human body one MRI slice at a time, then set out to make that kind of imaging cheap and portable enough to put in the back of a truck. As Co-Founder, President and CEO of PhenoMx, Inc. and founder of the Image Reading Center, he turns advanced scanning into quantitative imaging biomarkers for global clinical trials and a 'digital physical exam' for precision medicine and longevity. With 44-plus published papers behind him, he is trying to liberate medical imaging from the basements of academic hospitals and disperse it anywhere, anytime.
