I scanned my belly fat, and it made me sad

Maybe not every part of our bodies needs to be quantified.

A Korean company called Olive Healthcare has debuted a new device called the Bello; it scans your belly and reveals what percentage of your tissues, blood, and guts is fat.

Devices like smart scales or BMI scanners (which also abound at CES) can also measure body fat, but the Bello team says their measure is more accurate. While the results of other devices can vary greatly based on your body's water level, the Bello only measures lipids (a scientific term for fat), so Olive says it is more consistent and reliable. 

While the Bello is focused on the belly, it's not actually supposed to be a dieting device; Bello is supposedly for healthcare. Fat on your stomach, as opposed to, say, your butt, may be an indicator, for example, of how at risk women post menopause may be for diabetes or metabolic health disorders.
