Important: The first vascular age result is available after 5 successful measurements. If 1/5, 2/5, etc. is displayed, it means that the algorithm has not yet collected enough measurements to provide data.
Please keep in mind that Vascular Age measurement is unlikely to be reliable if you are diagnosed with a heart rhythm disorder.
You don't get any data
Note: The feature is available with firmware 2101 and requires Health Mate version 5.5.0 for iOS and Android.
If you don't get any Vascular Age data, perform the following steps:
- Make sure the Vascular Age screen is still activated in your Health Mate app.
- Make sure you step on the scale barefoot.
- Make sure your scale is clean.

- Make sure you don't talk during the measurement.
- Make sure your feet are centered on the scale and that your heel is placed on the second stripe from the bottom.
- Try to moisten your feet if everything else fails.
Note: after installing your Body Cardio, you will need five valid measurements to access the Vascular Age graph. These measurements are required to calibrate Vascular Age measurement on your scale. You will be able to see every valid measurement on the Home screen of your app, and a final one once you can access the graph.
