Prysm iO Reads Your Fingertip In 15 Seconds. Euromonitor Likes It. The Optics Are Trivial, Really.
Nu Skin Enterprises, based in Provo, Utah, has been ranked the world's No. 1 company for beauty and wellness device systems by Euromonitor International. Their Prysm iO device scans a fingertip noninvasively in 15 seconds, measuring carotenoids to provide insight into nutrition and wellness without lab visits. Availability varies by market.
This demonstrates the principle of optical biomarker detection, specifically resonance spectroscopy applied to carotenoid measurement in skin. Carotenoids are pigments from fruits and vegetables that accumulate in tissue. Measuring them noninvasively provides a proxy for nutritional status. The broader lesson: consumer devices are increasingly translating lab-grade spectroscopy into fingertip-scale hardware. The reader should understand that 'wellness reading' is not magic. It is photonics.
Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: NUS), a global beauty and wellness company headquartered in Provo, Utah, manufactures the Prysm iO device and was ranked No. 1 in beauty and wellness device systems by Euromonitor International.
- Search 'SBS biometric scanner' or 'biophotonic scanner' on YouTube to see demonstrations of carotenoid scanning devices in action. This is the same underlying technology class.
- If you have access to a Prysm iO or similar scanner, place your fingertip on the sensor for 15 seconds. The device will return a carotenoid score reflecting dietary antioxidant intake.
- Track your score over two weeks while increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. You should see a measurable increase, assuming the device is calibrated correctly.
