A new device has been introduced in Abu Dhabi clinics to check mineral imbalances.

According to the Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS), a SEHA healthcare facility, Oligocheck is equipped with a body mass analysis device.

This will allow doctors to measure muscle ratio, fat and bone density.

Huda Al Nuaimi, Senior Dietician, Oud Al Touba Diagnostic & Screening Centre, said, "The Oligocheck device enables our dieticians to swiftly identify mineral and vitamin imbalances in the body and establish the best personalised treatment plan, thus enabling our patients to achieve better results."

The new test is also provided to bedridden patients via homecare services.
