Today’s smart bathroom scales are intended to tell you more than just your weight. Even Withings Body Scan, debuted at CES 2022, promises to offer you something that a normal scale cannot.
According to the company, this new body scan scale can take an ECG /EKG, keeps a tab on your nerve activity, and also measures your segmental body composition. The device is presently seeking FDA clearance and is aiming for a release in the second half of 2022.

It even includes 14 ITO electrodes inside its platform, as well as four stainless steel electrodes in its retractable handle.
All these electrodes and sensors together collect your vital health biomarkers for determining the detailed segmental body composition and six-lead ECG analysis.
Besides that, the smart scale can measure your visceral fat, water percentage, muscle, and bone mass. It also promises to offer you better granular readings for individual body parts, such as the arms, torso, and legs.
It even offers sweat gland measurement in the feet to let the Body Scan track your small nerve activity.

At-home health management
The future of at-home smart healthcare tech (and Withings’ body scan device) looks promising as the trend of at-home health management has grown exponentially in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
Early detection of heart-health biomarkers like irregular heart beat pattern (arrhythmia) can prevent serious heart complications like stroke. On average, about 600 thousand people (1 in every 4 deaths) die in the US from heart disease each year.
