The company's current products include: the Body Composition Analyzer which reads an individual's body composition with no appreciable difference from hydrostatic weighing or the DXA scan;[1][2] a HealthCENTER Kiosk which has numerous configurations (Body Composition, Blood Pressure, Weight, Hearing, and Vision); Research Activity Monitor; and the Stayhealthy Activity Monitor (SAM) calorie tracker.

In May 2011, Tommy Thompson, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Governor of Wisconsin, was elected to serve as Chairman of the Board.[3]

The company has a deal with Albertsons to place kiosks in their stores.[4]

The company has a deal with Kroger to place kiosks in their stores.[6]

On 13 March 2004, Stayhealthy sued AmerisourceBergen.[7]

In 2005, Stayhealthy unveiled the Fitness Expert product, a fusion of the Body Composition Analyzer and the Calorie Tracker, which was to be sold via multi-level marketing company Quixtar. This deal has since fallen through.

The company was acquired by higi in 2014 .
