My EDA measurement fails

If you don't get any electrodermal activity data, perform the following steps: 

1. Make sure the EDA screen is enabled in your Withings App.
2. Make sure you step on the scale barefoot.
3. Make sure your scale is clean and not scratched.

4. Make sure you remain completely still and do not talk for the entire time you are on the scale.
5. Make sure your feet are centered on the scale as shown:
6. Make sure that impedance is activated on your scale. To do so, go to Devices > Body Scan > Advanced Settings > Impedance Technology.
7. Try to dampen your feet if everything else fails; however, make sure that your feet are not completely wet.

My EDA screen says 'Pending' and/or 'Open App'

Your reading might be pending if we are not able to accurately assess your score. We might invite you to take a Guided Scan measurement using specific conditions in order to get a result.   

A Guided Scan can be launched at any time from the application on the EDA page. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Withings App.
2. Select your most recent EDA measurement to access its measurement graph. You can also select Dashboard, scroll down, and then select Electrodermal Activity to access the graph. 
3. Scroll to the bottom of the EDA graph screen to 'Options' and select Take a Guided Scan.

A Guided Scan will provide the following instructions: 

1. You should have been on your feet throughout the past hour.
2. Remove your shoes prior to taking a measurement, but ensure that you are not barefoot for more than 10 minutes before weighing yourself.
3. Make sure that the Body Scan and your feet are dust-free.

Note: To get the most accurate measurements, always take the EDA measurements under the conditions described in the Guided Scan instructions. Ignoring guidelines can impact your result.
