What does MyFiziq do?
MyFiziq has developed dimensioning technology that enables its users to accurately check, track, and assess their body dimensions using only a smartphone.
The company's goal is to help its partners by empowering their consumers with this capability. This, in return, gives partners the ability to assess, assist, and communicate outcomes with their consumers when navigating day to day life.
The technology has the potential to revolutionise online clothing sales, with the precise measurement technology helping to reduce or eliminate the potential for returns. It also allows for auto-matching to the partner company's specific size charts. This helps reduce human error in taking tape measurements. Furthermore, the technology has potential for use within insurance and medical fields.
Step aside Brainchip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), as the technology also includes impressive artificial intelligence. The MyFiziq share price has witnessed an astounding 415% increase since the start of the year.
What's driving the MyFiziq share price?

Foolish takeaway
