Navy circumference formula
US Department of Defense body fat equation. Used by 1.3M service members since 1984. ±3-4% accuracy versus DEXA in published studies.
Hodgdon & Beckett (1984)One photo a day. Tare reads body fat, muscle balance, and posture using the Navy method calibrated against visual AI — with a confidence band that shows you what's signal and what's noise.
Stand back, neutral pose, phone at chest height. One photo. The app handles the framing.
Vision AI estimates your circumferences against your stated height. Navy formula reconciles against the visual read.
Most days you'll see nothing — that's honest. On the days that matter, you'll see it clearly, with a trajectory we'd stake our methodology on.

Hodgdon & Beckett (1984)Multi-view smartphone photo analysis. Modern vision models reach ±3-5% accuracy on body fat % when calibrated against DEXA-labeled training data.
Majmudar et al. (2022)Waist-to-height is the strongest single predictor of cardiometabolic risk, outperforming BMI in 31 of 31 published comparisons.
Ashwell (2012)We do not claim DEXA-level accuracy. Every reading is reported with a confidence band that widens when our methods disagree. We never generate a fake "future you" image — the trajectory chart is a real regression on your logged data.
