Prism Research App
Run body composition assessments on site, at scale.
This manual guides research institutions, study sites, clinical trial teams, and pharmaceutical organizations through access, study setup, participant management, scan capture, and results review.
Recommended operating pattern: create one campaign for each study. If several locations share an account, separate campaigns by study site when that makes day-to-day operations clearer.
Before the visitConfirm account access, camera permission, campaign setup, and the selected unit system.
At check-inFind or create the participant using the approved study identifier.
Before the participant leavesVerify the scan completed successfully and reaches Ready. Allow about four minutes for completion.
