Current methods for assessing metabolic health, such as BMI, dexa scans, and basic blood tests, provide a low-resolution picture and may not adequately identify individuals at risk.

“I don't think we're identifying people at risk because I mean I think about how little I know about my own State here I mean I you know have a pretty good sense from any blood test you can do I can do a dexa scan it tells me how much vat I have my my you know my transaminases are adequate so I can assume and based on last test no liver fat but I don't other than that it's a real blind spot right I mean I don't have the clarity that that I would have about my apop for example or my blood pressure and that and that's I think because we're sort of increasing our very poor resolution of this problem starting with like the most blunt tool of all which is BMI and then moving to other things”
