Features and functionality
Why is there a handle on the scale?
The handle allows the user to get much more accurate body combposition measurements. It also enables segmental body composition for which users get fat & muscle mass of each body part: torso, legs and arms. The handle also contains the electrodes needed to record the 6-lead ECGs.
What's the difference between Body Scan and other Withings smart scales?
Body Scan is our most advanced smart scale to date. With a simple weigh-in, users get access to the largest number of health biomarkers ever seen on a scale.
How does the body composition capability of Body Scan differ from other similar scales?
Contrary to classic body composition scales without handles where the current is flowing only through the lower body, segmental body composition is performed by transmitting a current through the entire body from the hands to the feet.
This technology delivers segmental body composition metrics:
- Fat and muscle mass metrics are provided for each body part independently (torso, arms and legs).
- Body composition metrics (fat, muscle, water and bone mass) are calculated based on the entire body.
What is Nerve Health Score (NHS)?
Nerve Health Score is an EU-only medically-approved metric that gives an indication of your nervous system’s control of sweat gland activity in your feet to help detect and follow-up peripheral autonomic neuropathies. Learn more about NHS here.
What is Electrodermal Activity Score (EDA)?
Electrodermal Activity Score is a US-only wellness metric similar to NHS that gives an indication of your nervous system’s control of sweat gland activity in your feet. Learn more about EDA here.
