About InBody

We are InBody,

a worldwide leader

in body composition technology.

In the early 1990s, founder and CEO, Dr. Kichul Cha, recognised that the available BIA devices were limited and faulty. They were often inaccurate, and from a medical standpoint, useless for treating patients who needed body composition analysis the most. Drawing from his background in mechanical engineering, he set to work to design something better.

In 1996, he founded InBody. Two years later, the first InBody device was born. Today, InBody has grown from a small biotech startup in South Korea to a multinational corporation with branches and distributors in more than 80 countries. Our clients trust us to provide precise, useful, and accurate body composition data to their users because they know that InBody combines convenience, accuracy, and reproducibility into one easy-to-use device.

Mission

“InBody is dedicated to inspiring and leading people to live a healthier life.“

 

Vision

“It is InBody’s vision that one day health will not only be measured by knowing your weight but by having an accurate insight in your body composition.”

Company Values
