A Smarter, Safer Way to Measure Bone Health
REMS uses advanced ultrasound technology to go beyond traditional bone scans, helping detect early bone loss, assess fracture risk, and support proactive, personalized bone health decisions.
What REMS Measures
Bone Density
Measures Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to assess overall bone strength and detect osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Fracture Risk Prediction
Estimates the likelihood of future fractures by analyzing bone density and quality together for a more accurate risk profile.
Bone Quality (Fragility)
Evaluates the internal structure of bone to determine how resilient it is—not just how dense it appears.
Body Composition
Analyzes fat mass and lean mass distribution to support a more complete understanding of musculoskeletal health.
How REMS Works
01
The device emits sound waves into the bone
02
The sound waves reflect back and are captured by the device
03
Advanced technology analyzes the signals to assess bone density and architecture
