Withings Body Scan scale combines weight measurement with full-body health metrics
Our health is not confined to our weight, any more than it’s just about our muscles or mobility. Health is, at least in part, a physical condition and that means your whole body – all of you. A typical scale can’t measure that, but Withing’s wild, new Body Scan device, unveiled at CES 2022, can. Withings Body Scan is a scale, but it’s also a series of sensors embedded in the platform and a special, tethered bar that sits along the top edge of the scale. Weight measurement ends up being the least of what Body Scan can do. It’s so advanced, in fact, that the device is not yet approved for use in the U.S. It’s awaiting FDA approval. Why all the caution? Perhaps it’s because of how Body Scan works. To measure things like „segmental body composition,“ and even sweat gland activity, Body Scan sends a low level and what Withings promises is a „safe“ electrical signal from the sensors in either the bar in your hands or the pad under your feet to almost instantly read things like impedance.
