Your Electrodermal Activity Score (EDA) can fluctuate based on the conditions when taking your measurement. When your scale is not able to accurately assess your score based on these fluctuations, a Guided Scan might be required in order to get a reading. A Guided Scan replicates the environment of a medical consultation to ensure optimal weigh-in conditions.
A Guided Scan can be launched at any time from the application. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Withings App.
- Select your most recent NHS or EDA measurement in the Home tab to access its measurement graph.
- Scroll to the bottom of the measurement graph screen to 'Options' and select Take a Guided Scan.
A Guided Scan will provide the following instructions:
- You should have been on your feet throughout the past hour.
- Remove your shoes prior to taking a measurement, but ensure that you are not barefoot for more than 10 minutes before weighing yourself.
- Make sure that the scale & your feet are dust-free.
Note: To get the most accurate measurements, always take them under the conditions described in the Guided Scan instructions. Ignoring guidelines can impact your result.
