Wacoal Corp. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; President and CEO: Keisuke Kawanishi) will sequentially begin offering its 3D measurement service "SCANBE base" (SCANBE Base), designed for use in sports gyms and healthcare facilities, starting July 1, 2026 (Wed).
In recent years, the importance of exercise habits has gained social attention, driven by growing awareness of issues related to lack of exercise due to lifestyle changes and increasing interest in extending healthy life expectancy. In particular, expectations are rising for personalized healthcare services utilizing PHR (Personal Health Record), which are individual health and medical data, with the PHR service market projected to grow to approximately 1 trillion yen by 2030 (※). However, current widely used data such as body composition, weight, and calorie consumption make it difficult to perceive changes in body appearance, leading to challenges in driving daily behavioral changes and sustained efforts.
Against this backdrop, Wacoal has developed "SCANBE base" based on over 60 years of human body measurement expertise accumulated at the Wacoal Human Science Research and Development Center and the know-how cultivated with "SCANBE." This service allows users to grasp changes in appearance, previously perceived intuitively, as concrete numerical data such as 3D data, volume, and circumference. Furthermore, by taking measurements periodically, users can compare them with past data and view body shape changes on a time-series graph. The service can be used by any gender, and measurements can be taken while wearing form-fitting apparel like training wear, allowing for seamless integration before or after workouts. The 3D scan takes approximately 3 seconds, and the entire experience is completed in about 10 minutes. Measurement results can also be checked on a smartphone.
Moving forward, Wacoal plans to expand the service by considering installation not only in sports gyms but also in sports retailers, sports organizations, local governments, and research institutions, aiming to create new services and expand value in the sports and healthcare domains.
