AI Technology Reveals Personal Health Insights in Just 10 Minutes

On August 13, at the Removing Company studio in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam, a 64-year-old participant stood in front of the AI-based body function and movement analyzer. As the demonstration on the computer screen began, the participant followed instructions, lifting arms and shifting body weight on a mat. A camera recorded the movements.

Typically, the participant assessed their physical condition based on the sensation of walking without discomfort. However, after the measurement, the screen displayed a different narrative: strength and endurance scored 45, joints 59, balance and stability 68, gait 90, and symmetry 74.

The assessment indicated that strength and endurance, as well as joint function, required maintenance, while balance, stability, and symmetry were rated as good, and gait was optimal. The most notable aspect was the gap between the gait score and the strength score, suggesting that while walking appeared stable, foundational strength needed separate attention.

The participant's highest score was 90 for gait, while strength and endurance were the lowest at 45. This score was not a medical diagnosis but rather an evaluation of the participant's exercise capabilities by the AI system.

The core of this experience was not the measuring device itself but what followed. The coach focused on the relatively low scores in strength and endurance, as well as joint mobility. They guided the participant through upper body stretches, movements to elongate the torso while reaching upward, and exercises involving hanging and weight support. Each movement was monitored for posture, breathing, and range of motion, without pushing beyond safe limits.

After the session, the participant remarked, "It felt like my body was stretching out." While one session cannot determine disease treatment or long-term functional improvement, it was clear that identifying weak areas and concentrating on them differed from merely repeating full-body exercises. The data served not as a replacement for the coach's observations but as a starting point for prioritizing exercises.

According to product descriptions from Removing Company, this solution quantifies joint, movement, and muscle-related physical indicators after about 10 minutes of performing movements while watching a screen. Based on the analysis, it presents personalized exercise videos, allowing users to set difficulty levels and exercise durations while accumulating performance records. Users can also track their measurement results and changes through a personal management page.

CEO Lee Hyun-soo explained, "We developed the movement analysis solution based on our experience in one-on-one senior home exercise and personal training studio operations." This personal training studio is located in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam. The system captures user movements with a camera, and AI analyzes various actions to provide functional levels and tailored exercise content for different body parts. In other words, the solution follows a process of measurement (performing screen movements) → analysis (scoring by function) → guidance (coach-led personalized exercise) → tracking (changes and performance records).

This service has the potential to assist in rehabilitation by designing exercises tailored to individual weak indicators. Regular measurements of critical areas such as strength, balance, gait, and joint movement can help clarify exercise goals and track progress, especially for older adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) also emphasizes the benefits of regular physical activity for physical and mental health, highlighting the importance of various activities, including strength and balance, for seniors.

However, the functional assessments and personalized exercises provided at fitness facilities are not equivalent to medical diagnoses, prescriptions, or physical therapy. Users experiencing severe pain, recent surgeries, fractures, neurological conditions, or high fall risks should consult medical professionals first.

This is why it is more accurate to describe the program as a data-driven tool that supports rehabilitation-focused exercise rather than claiming it delivers rehabilitation treatment effects. The scores from this solution should be viewed as reference indicators for determining exercise direction rather than diagnostic test results for diseases.

The motivation behind this coverage is the growing attention to data-driven personalized exercise in the Gangnam area. The competitive edge observed on-site lies in the personalized approach rather than flashy equipment. Users can see their weaknesses represented in numbers and graphs, while coaches observe the results alongside actual movements to prioritize exercises. After workouts, users have benchmarks for comparison during subsequent measurements.

For older adults or exercise beginners, a blanket prescription to do more can create barriers to entry. In contrast, the guidance to maintain strengths while focusing on weaknesses is easier to understand. In this case, the participant had an optimal gait but needed to manage strength and endurance as well as joint function. A single pentagon graph shifted the order of their exercises.

The value of the Removing Company solution, confirmed through on-site experience, lies in the connection of measurement, human guidance, and ongoing management as a cohesive process. This solution does not fix the body but reveals previously unseen differences in numerical form, allowing coaches to connect those insights to actual movements. Users engage in exercise with an understanding of their deficiencies.

The effectiveness of this solution hinges on consistency rather than a single score. It is essential to observe how functional indicators change during re-measurements under the same conditions, whether users can continue exercising without pain or discomfort, and if daily activities become genuinely easier. For data-driven personalized exercise to establish itself as a trusted health management method beyond a trend, the accuracy and reproducibility of measurements, the expertise of coaches, and the continuous accumulation of long-term user change data must be maintained.

After the session, the participant expressed feeling lighter as they left the studio. However, they emphasized that the more important realization was, "It’s not just that I walk well; I need to manage my strength and joints more effectively."
