the french manufacturer Withings announced today [PDF] a new, more affordable option for its line of smart scales: the Body Smart. With technology that combines multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, advanced sensors and algorithms, the new scale provides accurate weight and body composition analysis, as well as advanced health measurements including heart rate, visceral fat, metabolic age and basal metabolic rate.
The Body Smart is a fantastic addition to the Withings range of smart scales and one of the most feature-rich scales at its price point on the market. Designed to improve users’ lives, Body Smart elevates the market by providing highly accurate and accurate readings along with insightful and actionable health data and advice. It brings a new level of precision and clarity to the complexities of healthcare in a beautiful design that fits in any home.
Precisely, some features of the scale work by sending a small electrical signal through the body, which measures tissue resistance and reactance to current. The more frequencies used, the more complete and accurate a picture of the body’s health can be created.
The data then passes through advanced algorithms that look in depth at body composition—from measuring fat, muscle mass and water weight percentage to analyzing visceral fat and other body metrics. Body Smart also provides cardiovascular measurements and information by tracking heart rate while standing.
Still in terms of news, Body Smart is also able to measure the basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories the body burns at rest and provides valuable information regarding the user’s overall metabolic health. The scale also uses this to calculate metabolic age, comparing how many calories a body burns at rest with others in different age groups – these features will be available from May 2023, following an automatic update, according to Withings.
Body Smart features a color screen that displays all relevant information; however, the scale also offers a mode called “Eyes Closed”, in which the user’s weight is tracked in the Withings Health Mate app, which supports the Health app (Health). This mode supports up to eight users and is offered along with other options including athletic, pregnancy and baby mode to accurately weigh even the smallest family member.
Like the other Withings scales — the Body Comp and the Body Scan — the Body Smart is also compatible with the Withings+the manufacturer’s subscription service that guides users to create better habits to reach their long-term goal, unlocking additional content such as metrics analysis and guidance.
The Body Smart is available starting today on the Withings website for $100 in black or white.
