by Withings • Model: Body Scan
The Withings Body Scan is a connected health station that goes far beyond typical weight and body fat scales. It includes a retractable handle with stainless steel electrodes to perform segmental body composition (fat and muscle mass for torso, arms, and legs) using multi-frequency BIA. Its key differentiator is the 6-Lead ECG for AFib detection, Vascular Age monitoring, and Nerve Health Score (Electrodermal Activity) for autonomic nervous system assessment. Data syncs via Wi-Fi to the Withings App.

Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals
"An unparalleled home health station in features and design, but questionable accuracy and a high price make it a luxury with compromises."
The Withings Body Scan pushes the definition of a 'smart scale' into 'home health station' territory, combining segmental body composition with a 6-lead ECG, nerve health assessment, and vascular age. Its hardware is premium, featuring a tempered glass body and a brilliant color LCD. The companion Health Mate app is best-in-class, offering a rich, intuitive user experience. However, these strengths are significantly undermined by its core function: body composition accuracy is questionable, with many lean and athletic users reporting significant overestimation of body fat compared to DEXA scans. Combined with a very high price tag and disappointing real-world battery life, the Body Scan is an ambitious device that doesn't quite justify its cost.
