PHYSIQ provides visual estimates for personal progress tracking. It is not a medical device, clinical body-composition test or substitute for qualified care.

What the analysis uses

With the user's explicit consent, PHYSIQ sends up to three guided current photos—front, side and back—plus matching prior photos when available. Optional weight, note and prior result metrics may also be included. The request asks a multimodal AI model for a conservative, structured assessment.

What the app returns

• A broad estimated body-fat range
• A coarse physique score intended for within-user trend display
• A photo-quality score
• Up to two restrained visual observations

The system is prompted to avoid identity, race, ethnicity, medical-condition, disability, pregnancy, sexuality and other sensitive-trait inferences. It must reject unusable images and avoid medical or nutritional prescriptions.

Consistency controls

PHYSIQ improves comparability by guiding users toward consistent:

• Pose and camera orientation
• Framing and distance
• Lighting
• Photo sequence
• Weekly cadence

The app performs a basic darkness check and asks for a retake when exposure is too low. Results use broad ranges and coarse score steps to avoid false precision.
