Why HeraVita Exists
Weight is one piece of the picture. One number can never tell the whole story.
Body shape can change. Clothes fit differently. Strength, posture, fluid, fat distribution and wellbeing may shift. Weight may change significantly, slightly or not at all.
HeraVita brings together advanced measurements and women's lived experience to create a richer view of body change through midlife and beyond.
What's in it for me?
Through the HeraVita Experience, you can receive meaningful information about your own body, learn from trusted professionals and contribute to research intended to improve understanding of women's health.
A detailed view of body shape and measurements.
Practical measurements to compare with garment size charts.
Evidence-informed indicators for awareness and education.
The ability to observe change through future assessments.
Events, guest speakers and trusted healthcare and wellness partners.
No comparisons, no ideal body. Just a private, respectful environment to understand your own.
HeraVita is not a diagnostic service. Wellness information is educational and does not replace medical advice, assessment or treatment from your healthcare professional care team.
The HeraVita Experience
A welcoming women's health experience combining personal body insights, education, trusted expertise and community.
Attend an event, complete your Body Experience Survey, have your personal 3D body assessment and leave with a deeper understanding of your body.
Most women are weighed during a GP appointment. Weight is one measurement.
But it doesn't tell you where your body is changing, whether muscle is being maintained, how your proportions are shifting, or what those changes might mean over time.
HeraVita brings together advanced 3D body measurements with evidence-informed wellness insights designed specifically for women through midlife and beyond.
Because understanding your body should involve more than a single number.
Most routine health appointments measure very little about how a woman's body changes through midlife.
Your HeraVita Wellness Snapshot helps create a broader picture by bringing together multiple evidence-informed measurements that can be tracked over time.
The real value isn't a single assessment. It's watching how your body changes from one scan to the next.
With repeat HeraVita Experiences you can begin to observe:
Helping you see what is improving, what is changing and what may be worth discussing with your healthcare professional.
Tracked at every scan · see what's improved, what to watch

The Research
HeraVita aims to engage more than 500 women and develop one of Australia's most detailed emerging datasets focused on women through midlife and beyond.
By combining body measurements with fit information, health context and lived experience, HeraVita hopes to support future research, education, healthcare conversations and responsible innovation.
HeraVita is bringing together women, researchers, universities, clinicians, allied health practitioners, wellness professionals, technology specialists and innovators.
Each group sees a different part of the picture. HeraVita exists to help connect those perspectives.
Research to Innovation
HeraVita began with questions about women's clothing fit. Today, its potential is much broader.
Insights from the research may contribute to women's health education, longitudinal body tracking, future digital tools, healthcare collaboration and products informed by real women's bodies.
HeraVita does not create custom-made garments from an individual participant's scan. Any future apparel will be developed for broader size ranges using collective, de-identified research insights.
Founder
Founder Nicole Cassey created HeraVita after years of lived experience, unanswered questions and a growing awareness that women often lack the information needed to understand changes in their bodies.
Her guiding principle is simple: Listen first. Build second. Nicole Cassey · Founder, HeraVita
