Objectively means two things have to be true. The images have to be standardized, and the measurement has to be quantifiable. So the GroTrack camera captures a large area of your scalp, the same area, the same way, every visit. Then our own AI hair analysis model reads those images and measures your hair density. You'll also hear that called hair mass or hair volume. Same idea, three names. And because it's quantifiable, your progress is data, not somebody's impression.

What it measures is hair density: how much hair is actually covering that area of scalp. You may also hear it called hair mass or hair volume — the same idea, said three ways. Because the images are standardized and the measurement is quantifiable, your progress becomes objective data in your file instead of an opinion at the end of an appointment.

The honest next step for most hair questions is a measured look at your own scalp. The Uberhair hair check is free, takes about 3 minutes from your phone, and your photos go to the doctor you choose.
