Milestones
In early 1990’s during his post-doctoral position at Harvard Medical School,
Dr. Kichul Cha, discovered that the results of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were fundamentally inaccurate.
He pointed out how different body parts have different levels of impedance; to accurately analyze body composition,
the body would need to be analyzed by segments instead of as a whole.
Dr. Cha developed the methods that would overcome the limitations of BIA and transform how BIA would be measured. With this, he created the InBody.
In 1996, Dr. Cha founded InBody Co., Ltd. in Seoul, Korea to produce and promote the InBody and its revolutionary methods.
The InBody features Direct Segmental Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and uses an Eight-Point Tactile Electrode Method,
which can precisely measure individual body compositions.

The InBody and its technology are FDA approved and its results have been validated by research.
InBody has also established subsidiaries in USA, Japan and China.
InBody has a global network of partners in over 70 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa.
Today, InBody continues to spread the importance of knowing your body composition as opposed to simply monitoring your weight.
The information from the InBody test allows for personalized exercise and diet programs to maintain healthy lifestyles.
The InBody is widely used in various research and professional fields.
InBody continues to build on its current strength and stability in the global body composition analysis market.

it started to be proven that body fat rather than weight
is strongly connected to obesity and health. Medical
professionals recognized that it is not enough to evaluate
obesity by only considering people’s weight and height.
Therefore, people start to think ‘inside’ of the body –
‘body composition’. Numerous medical and nutritional
experts proved that achieving balanced body composition
is directly resulted in better health. Especially, various
studies have proved fat free mass – everything except
fat inside human body - is critically related to health
and would be better criteria for obesity. Based on these
circumstances, finally, the concept of FFMI(Fat Free
Mass Index) emerged which means how much fat free
mass you have inside your body, and it is now considered
as a new standard of obesity evaluation.
Through it, we are now facing the new paradigm
of measuring our health, which will lead us better

Motivated through understanding the cause of BIA’s inaccuracy technological limitation the solution for the limitation could
be solved through technological innovation. In 1996, InBody developed the InBody, “world’s first commercial BIA body
composition analyzer, capable of both direct measurement of body segments and multi-frequency measurement." Today, the
advancement to BIA technology brought out by the InBody with exceptional precision and ease of use is widely recognized
by experts worldwide. The InBody is mentioned in hundreds of research papers published every year across various fields
such as nutrition, sports, and obesity.
