Withings' new ultra-premium scale goes on sale today
Body Scan 2 promises clinical-grade scans at home.
1Body Scan 2 introduced
Withings unveiled the Body Scan 2 in January. This ultra-premium scale promises clinical-grade scans at home. Now, with the necessary regulatory approvals, the company has launched the product in the US.
2Price and features
The Body Scan 2 is available for purchase on Withings' website for $600. The company claims that this scale offers data comparable to clinical-grade DEXA scans. By this comparison, the product is not expensive but rather affordable.
3Advanced scanning technology
The Body Scan 2 offers a level of scanning never before seen in a home bathroom scale. The number of biomarkers has increased from 40 in the first model to 60, including Impedance Cardiography (ICG), which monitors the heart's capacity to pump blood to the organs.
4Bioelectrical analysis
Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) uses a low-level electrical current to check the body's total water. This feature allows the scale to monitor cellular age, active cell mass, and metabolic efficiency.
5Additional services
The Body Scan 2 includes a free one-month trial of Withings+, the company's premium health-monitoring service. This service enables users to track their health data more comprehensively.
6A step forward in health technology
The Body Scan 2 represents a significant step forward in home health monitoring technology. By offering clinical-grade data and advanced features, it helps users better understand their health status.
