Abstract
The 3D body scanner (3DBS) is designed to capture three-dimensional human body shape information. With the growing interest in healthcare and the rapid development of technologies used in the 3DBS, various research has been conducted to apply 3DBS in different healthcare sectors. This study classified studies conducted outside South Korea on 3DBS from 2018 to 2023 based on their objectives and application fields. In addition, we investigated the standardization trends related to 3DBS by South Korean and worldwide standardization organizations to propose future research directions. 3DBS is utilized in various healthcare fields, such as Preventive health screening, monitoring, epidemiology, and diagnosis. Particularly in Preventive health screening, its application for body composition measurement has gained attention. However, due to the lack of international standards for body composition measurement using 3DBS, there have been discrepancies in research outcomes. Given the practical applications of 3DBS in healthcare and the ongoing evolution of international standards, there is a pressing need for standards specifically tailored to enhance the utility of 3DBS in the medical field.
