Already crowned with several CES Innovation Awards 2022, Body Scan is a comprehensive connected health station. The device integrates four weight sensors and 14 electrodes on its surface, as well as a retractable handle equipped with four electrodes. At any given time, the scales can perform several analyses, starting with the distribution of muscle, bone and fat mass in each part of the body (torso, arms, legs). Regular monitoring of all these parameters can help users to adopt a healthy lifestyle and alert them to possible heart problems. Thanks to its new sensors, Body Scan delivers a high level of performance with accuracy within 50 grams. In addition to weight and body composition, the scale can measure heart rate and estimate vascular age based on pulse wave velocity.
This scale lets users perform a six-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), which is able to detect atrial fibrillation, which is the cause of many strokes. Meanwhile, new technology for analyzing nerve activity in the feet could help ward off some chronic diseases.
All this data will, of course, be compiled into the Withings application, which can also act as a personal trainer to keep users in top form or help them get back in shape. The body scan will be marketed as soon as it receives CE certification (and FDA clearance in the US) at a price of 299.95 euros. CES runs from January 5 -7, 2022 in Las Vegas.
