Diagnostics delivered on demand

In spa and wellness clinics there is now a prevalence of diagnostic equipment that can measure everything from body composition, heart rate and nutrition to hormone levels, lung fitness, cellular health and genetics. This level of analysis is core to determining health programming and demand is skyrocketing as the interest in medical wellness grows.

According to Statista, the diagnostic imaging devices market is projected to grow by 4.45 per cent each year to be valued at $59.25 billion by 2029. This is driven by technological advancements, artificial intelligence, population growth and an ageing population.

Leading the way with this technology are properties including Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, Switzerland; Lanserhof Sylt, Germany; Palazzo Fiuggi, Italy and Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel in Portugal.

“The wider public wants to have data as they are used to having it at their fingertips,” says Ingo Schweder, founder and CEO of GOCO Hospitality. “It has become clear that the combination of data and analysis to give you a very fast, succinct and very precise read

on the status of your wellbeing is becoming increasingly important.”

“Truly understanding someone’s health isn’t about one test or measurement – it’s about listening closely to the person in front of you and doing a thorough clinical assessment, often with diagnostic equipment,” adds Dr Naheem S Ali, sports doctor at Lanserhof at The Arts Club, Mayfair in London.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR SPAS…

Using technology to analyse a person’s current state of health can give clear guidance on how to develop tailored programmes that can transform the wellbeing of guests, both in spas and upon returning home.
