Overview
What this pilot is
This is a private clinical pilot evaluating a HealthSpan-focused care model that combines non-invasive technology, metabolic support, and clinician oversight.
The pilot is designed for adults seeking a measured, evidence-informed approach to sustainable body composition change — prioritising metabolic health, sustainability, and clinical integrity over rapid or cosmetic outcomes.
Participants receive preferential pilot investment rates and direct clinician involvement.
Clinical focus
A measured, integrity-led pilot designed around objective measurement, support, and sustainability.
Eligibility
Who this is for
- Adults seeking sustainable, measured body composition change (not quick fixes).
- People who value objective tracking and evidence-informed support.
- Those who want structured accountability — device-led support, clinician-guided support, or help choosing the right approach.
- Participants comfortable attending in-clinic sessions in Bayside Melbourne.
- People open to a healthspan-first focus: metabolic health, function, and sustainability.
Participants must…
Commit to the full program duration, attend scheduled sessions, and engage with the outlined structure if accepted.
Not suitable for…
Those seeking rapid or cosmetic-only weight loss outcomes.

Pathways
Program pathways
Foundations Protocol
By application onlyA device-led pathway focused on measured, structured sessions and progress tracking — ideal if you want a clear, clinic-based protocol.
Duration
~6 weeks (see structure below)
Pilot investment
Preferential pilot rates (shared on acceptance)
Inclusions
- Structured in-clinic sessions using the technologies listed
- Baseline + follow-up body composition scanning (Styku®)
- Clear protocol outline and progress checkpoints
Best suited for
- People who want device-led support and structure
- Those who prefer a clinic-based protocol with objective tracking
Integrated Protocol
By application onlyA clinician-guided pathway that pairs technology sessions with structured oversight and accountability — designed for deeper support.
Duration
~6–8 weeks (see structure below)
Pilot investment
Preferential pilot rates (shared on acceptance)
Inclusions
- Clinician guidance and accountability checkpoints
- Technology sessions + objective tracking (Styku® scan points)
- Protocol recommendations tailored to suitability and goals
Best suited for
- People who want clinician guidance and accountability
- Those seeking a more integrated, measured support model
Foundations Protocol
Device-led structure, measured tracking
Built for adults who want a clear clinic-based rhythm with objective progress check-ins and technology sessions. Specific inclusions and cadence are confirmed during the acceptance process.
Integrated Protocol
Clinician-guided support + accountability
Designed for applicants who want closer guidance and accountability alongside objective measurement. Structure is confirmed based on suitability and pilot capacity.
Structure
Program structure & duration
Foundations (approximately 6 weeks)
A streamlined protocol designed around consistent clinic sessions and measurement touchpoints.
- Baseline and follow-up body composition scanning
- Structured technology sessions
- Clear checkpoints for progress and adherence
Integrated (approximately 6–8 weeks)
A deeper support model combining objective measurement with clinician guidance and accountability.
- Technology sessions paired with guidance checkpoints
- Objective progress tracking (Styku® scan points)
- Support designed around suitability and sustainability
Note: application form pathway labels list “Foundations (5 weeks)” and “Integrated (8 weeks)” exactly as provided for preference capture; program cadence and timing are confirmed at acceptance based on suitability and pilot scheduling.
