How long does a scan take?

Quick answer

Each face scan takes 60 seconds to complete.

What to expect during those 60 seconds

Once you tap "Start Scan," you'll see:

  • A live view of your face with colored overlays

  • A progress bar showing time remaining

  • Your heart rate appearing after about 7 seconds

Simply hold still and breathe naturally while IMIN reads your nervous system signals.

Why 60 seconds?

This duration allows IMIN to:

  • Capture multiple complete heartbeat cycles

  • Ensure accurate nervous system assessment

  • Account for natural variations in your rhythm

  • Provide reliable, consistent results

Shorter scans wouldn't capture enough data for accurate personalization, while longer scans wouldn't significantly improve accuracy.

Tips for a smooth scan

  • Find a comfortable spot before starting so you won't need to adjust

  • Breathe normally - no need for special breathing patterns

  • Stay relaxed - the scan works best when you're natural and comfortable

After your scan

Once complete, you'll immediately see your results and personalized technique recommendations. The whole process, from starting your scan to beginning a technique, typically takes less than 3-5 minutes.

Can I stop mid-scan?

Yes, you can exit a scan at any time by tapping the X or back button. However, you'll need to complete a full 60-second scan to receive your results.
