Launch thesis and service model
Defined the Upstate New York launch focus, direct-pay service packages, DEXA, bloodwork collection, VO2/RMR, tracking programs, and early partner-location thesis.
About VitalScan
Three months into building VitalScan.
VitalScan is building a mobile diagnostics company for hosted testing days: DEXA body composition, bloodwork collection, VO2/RMR performance testing, and repeat tracking in the places people already train, recover, and manage their health.
Designed around the scan flow
DEXA runs inside the mobile clinic, while check-in, bloodwork, and performance testing are supported by host-site rooms or enclosed tent setups.
Next milestone
Finish the first diagnostics vehicle.
The target is a September 2026 launch for the first hosted testing days. The work now is vehicle buildout, host-location development, Ford/Starcraft cutaway fit planning, indoor VO2/RMR and bloodwork workflows, enclosed tent backup, clinical partner stack, and operating readiness.
Mobile unit
A controlled clinical setup brought to the host site.
The Ford/Starcraft cutaway platform gives the DEXA scanner, operator station, storage, privacy, power, and HVAC room to work as one mobile clinic.
Build timeline
From idea to launch system.
The first phase has focused on proving the launch path: demand capture, payments, host outreach, operating standards, and the first diagnostics vehicle.
March 2026
Early-access funnel and deposits
Built the ZIP-based booking flow, nationwide demand capture, service selection, bundle logic, Stripe test deposit handoff, and confirmation experience.
April 2026
Host-location outreach
Opened the partner-location path, built the host application, modeled partner revenue, and started outreach to gyms, wellness clinics, PT/recovery spaces, and performance centers.
May 2026
Trust package and vehicle buildout
Published testing standards, FAQ, privacy, and terms while shaping the first diagnostics vehicle workflow and visual build direction.
Target September 2026
First hosted testing days
Finish the first diagnostics vehicle, confirm the launch partner stack, and begin the first hosted VitalScan testing days.
Testing flow
How a hosted VitalScan day comes together.
The mobile unit anchors DEXA and equipment control. Host-site rooms and enclosed tents support intake, bloodwork, VO2/RMR, and overflow operations.
Check-in and intake
A host-site arrival station for tablet intake, labels, consent, and visit prep before customers move into testing.
DEXA scan workflow
The mobile unit is organized around the Hologic Discovery-style scanner, operator access, privacy, conditioned power, and controlled scan flow.
Bloodwork collection
Private-room or screened host-site collection with qualified staff, labeling, sharps handling, and cold transport.
VO2/RMR testing
Bike-based gas exchange testing inside the host gym when space is available, with an enclosed heated tent as backup.
Launch Journal
Notes from the buildout.
Progress updates on the vehicle, hosted testing model, customer flow, and September launch target.
May 2026 / Build progress
Three months into building VitalScan
The first 90 days have been about turning a mobile diagnostics idea into something testable: demand capture, host outreach, paid reservations, and the first operating model.
Current focus: first unit buildout and Upstate New York host pipeline
Target September 2026 / Vehicle buildout
Building the first mobile diagnostics vehicle
The first VitalScan unit is being planned around the constraint that matters most: fitting a real DEXA workflow into a mobile clinic that still feels clean, calm, and operational.
Build priority: DEXA bay, power, HVAC, storage, and host-site support

Why VitalScan is starting with hosted testing days
VitalScan is starting with hosted testing days because the best first markets are not just ZIP codes. They are communities with members, trust, and a reason to care about better health data.
Go-to-market focus: gyms, wellness clinics, recovery spaces, and performance centers
