Patients are asking about body composition. Are you giving them more than a bathroom scale can?

SOZO® BodyComp™ turns one quick scan into precise insights on fluid, muscle, and fat — powering better conversations across survivorship, rehab, and medical weight management.

It’s where wellness goals meet clinical precision.

What happens after cancer treatment ends?

Too often, survivors are left on their own to manage side effects, pain, and questions about what “normal” life looks like.

In this clip from Nurse Rosa's podcast, oncology nurse leader Erin Dickman shares her vision for how survivorship care should change — so patients aren’t just surviving, they’re thriving.

18.1 million cancer survivors.
5.4% of the U.S. population.
And growing every year.

Behind those numbers are people navigating life after treatment — and the long-term effects that come with it. Survivorship care matters more than ever.

Keelin McDermott was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 26.

A few weeks after surgery, she started feeling bruising and heaviness in her arm, but there was no visible swelling. Her care team used SOZO® to check for early signs of lymphedema.

The results showed a 3x increase in fluid from her baseline reading. That objective data supported what she was already feeling, and helped guide her into early intervention.

In this clip from our Instagram Live with Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Keelin shares how those scans became a key part of her survivorship. Not just for tracking progress, but for feeling heard.

🎥 Watch how patient experience and proactive tools can work together to support better outcomes.

Lymphedema doesn’t start with swelling. It starts with tiny fluid changes — too small to see or feel.

That’s why so many survivors are caught off guard. By the time swelling appears, lymphedema is harder — and sometimes impossible — to reverse.

A new Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing review outlines what works to catch it early:

✅ Measure before treatment starts to know each patient’s normal baseline
✅ Check regularly during high-risk months and years
✅ Use tools that can detect what the eye can’t
✅ Have a clear plan if early signs appear

One study showed the difference:

With a surveillance program: 6% developed chronic lymphedema. Without one: Nearly 20% did.

Early detection isn’t extra — it’s essential.

What is BIS—and why does it matter for survivorship?

Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is the only noninvasive, low-cost technology that can detect medically significant fluid shifts before symptoms appear.

It’s how SOZO® detects subclinical lymphedema—and supports early intervention that works.

✔️ Detects as little as 36 mL of fluid
✔️ Linked to 92% reduction in progression when paired with compression
✔️ Also supports heart failure management and body composition analysis

Swipe through to see how BIS works—and why it’s changing the standard of care.

The surveillance tool is just the beginning.

Our customers aren’t just handed a device—we’re building long-term partnerships around education, evidence, and clinical impact.

That’s why we created ImpediMed Academy: a training hub for new and experienced users alike, featuring courses, case studies, reference guides, and real-world applications of BIS.

From getting started with SOZO® to implementing a full Lymphedema Prevention Program, the Academy supports teams at every stage.

Because supporting patients means supporting the clinicians who care for them.

This time last year, Dr. Steven Chen outlined a critical challenge in breast cancer survivorship:

“The phase before symptoms appear is the critical window.”

In this article from Journal of Clinical Pathways, he explains why early detection of lymphedema is so difficult—and how BIS can shift the standard.

Highlights:
• Up to 20% of breast cancer patients develop BCRL
• Tape measures delay diagnosis until swelling is visible
• BIS detects subclinical fluid changes earlier—giving teams time to act

A year later, these insights are more relevant than ever. BIS is gaining ground in national guidelines, accreditation standards, and payer policy.

"I didn’t have swelling. My arm looked totally normal. But I could feel something was off.”

Keelin McDermott was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 26. In this clip from our IG Live with Living Beyond Breast Cancer, she shares how subtle symptoms signaled the start of lymphedema—and why her care team acted early.

Bioimpedance helped detect the shift before it was visible, giving her time to respond and stay ahead.

How do we stop thinking about cancer recovery as a finish line—and start treating it like a critical phase of care?

In this new episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Dr. Erin Dickman talks with Rosa Hart about what it really means to support patients through recovery—emotionally, physically, and clinically.

From early screening and survivorship planning to patient trust and team dynamics, this conversation covers the real work happening between remission and long-term wellbeing.

Too many patients finish breast cancer treatment without anyone tracking what comes next.

This new piece from CURE Today breaks down how prehab and baseline screening—including tools like BIS—can catch problems early, reduce long-term side effects, and give survivors a clearer path forward.

If you're building survivorship plans or just trying to keep patients out of crisis later, this is worth the read.
