MuscleSound Provides the Solution
MuscleSound is the only non-invasive and quantitative point-of-care test to assess malnutrition, associated morbidities and overall muscle health.
What is MuscleSound?
- Malnutrition
- Sarcopenia
- Frailty
- Cachexia
MuscleSound’s technology, which pairs with off-the-shelf ultrasounds, enables noninvasive, inexpensive, easy, and reliable nutrition health screening. It provides rapid and fully automated muscle health data.
MuscleSound Data:
- Muscle Size and Symmetry
- Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT)
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Percent Body Fat
- Lean Body Mass
- Intramuscular Adipose Tissue (IMAT)
- Intramuscular Adipose Tissue (IMAT) Index
- Estimated Fuel Level (EFL)
- Muscle Fuel Symmetry (MFS)
- Muscle Fuel Rating (MFR)
- Muscle Energy Status (MES)
The Opportunity
MuscleSound is a point-of-care quantitative, non-invasive, rapid-response assessment of muscle health which can be used throughout patient healthcare journey. MuscleSound’s technology may help identify muscle tissue mass, composition, and energy reserves during critical times before, during, and after treatment, potentially enabling more timely and targeted patient care, improved outcomes, reduced care costs, and enhanced quality of life.
Look at stats that support the need for this technology. We’re paving the way to become a new standard of care and the next vital sign.
- Up to 60% of hospitalized adults have malnutrition
- 90% of malnourished patients are undiagnosed as malnourished
- Less than 40% of diagnosed malnourished patients receive meaningful nutrition therapy
- More than 50% of patients have poorly or undiagnosed comorbidities at the time of their surgery
- 40% of nutrition-related conditions are misdiagnosed and/or undocumented in perioperative cases
- During the first week of ICU care, patients lose more than 20% of their muscle mass
This may enable early, timely, and targeted patient care, potentially leading to improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life
A malnutrition diagnosis generates significant additional reimbursement and reduces healthcare costs

“The ease of adoption of muscle ultrasound at the ICU bedside has been markedly improved by the availability of a muscle-specific ultrasound technology (MuscleSound, Inc., Colorado, USA). The technology is focused on allowing rapid, accurate measures of lean body mass at the bedside, with built-in guidance to ensure reproducible measurements. This is a significant improvement in lean body mass ultrasound technology. Unique measures of muscle glycogen and muscle quality can now be ascertained at the bedside in study subjects using MuscleSound.”
