Issy-les-Moulineaux 01.05.26 – After inventing the world’s first Internet-connected scale in 2009,Withings is once again redefining preventive health checks with its Body Scan 2,the most advanced home meter too date. Body Scan 2 has been awarded the CES Innovation Award and is developed in collaboration with leading research institutions.
For the first time, over 60 biomarkers can now be measured using a home scale.
* notification in case of risk of high blood pressure
* complete assessment of the heart’s pumping efficiency via impedance cardiography (ICG)
* in-depth assessment of cellular health, metabolism and glycemic regulation using ultrahigh frequency bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS).
The incidence of chronic diseases continues to increase in the world, but Body Scan 2 represents a paradigm shift: With in-depth, personalized, AI-driven ongoing health tests at home, users have the opportunity to detect and correct physiological imbalances at an early stage, many years before symptoms appear.
“The best way to renew preventive health is with a connected scale. It is indeed on it that we naturally display the whole body – hands, feet, posture – and we can collect more biomarkers in 90 seconds than any other wearable device can in several weeks.Body Scan 2 turns a simple thing like weighing into a thorough health check.” – Eric Carreel, founder and CEO of withings

Nearly half of US adults are affected by a major stroke risk factor that often goes undiagnosed. Now, a new device offers a cuff-less, stand-on-the-scale solution for identifying this risk, providing a comprehensive look at your internal health. This deep body scanner integrates five medical-grade technologies, previously confined to healthcare settings, to deliver personalized and actionable insights.
Arterial health – arterial elasticity and vascular age:
* Built-in technology: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measures the stiffness of arteries in the arms and legs.
* Biomarkers: arterial elasticity, vascular age, early detection of arterial stiffness.
* Health impact: quantifies and maps vascular age in different body parts, an critically important early indicator of future cardiovascular health that is easy to influence.
Cellular health & metabolic efficiency
* Built-in technology: Ultra High Frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS)
* Biomarkers: cellular age, active cell mass (ACM), metabolic efficiency
* Health impact: provides an in-depth assessment of metabolic efficiency at the cellular level so that impaired metabolism or inflammation can be detected early.
Glycemic regulation
* Built-in technology: clinically validated, exclusive AI model (first time in a wave).
* biomarker: early signs of potential glycemic dysregulation.
* Health impact: the glycemic regulation is among the first to change in the hidden due to bad lifestyle habits.If this is detected early, it is possible to avoid the build-up of abdominal fat, chronic fatigue and pre-diabetes caused by premature aging.
This deep body scanner, which goes right down to the cellular level, has a breakthrough integration with five medical-grade technologies previously only used in healthcare.

Withings and Burson global Partner to advance Health tech in Sweden
Stockholm, Sweden – January 5, 2024 – Withings, a leader in connected health technology, and Burson Global, a communications agency, have announced a strategic partnership to expand Withings’ presence and impact in the Swedish market. This collaboration aims to drive awareness and adoption of Withings’ clinically validated health devices among Swedish consumers and healthcare professionals.
Partnership details
The partnership, effective promptly, will leverage burson Global’s expertise in public relations, communications, and strategic marketing to enhance Withings’ brand visibility and reach within Sweden. Burson Global will focus on communicating the benefits of Withings’ comprehensive ecosystem of devices, which measure over 90 biomarkers, to key audiences.
about Withings’ Technology
Withings pioneered the connected health movement with the introduction of the world’s first Wi-Fi connected scale in 2009. Since then, the company has developed a broad portfolio of devices designed to empower individuals to take control of their health. These devices are utilized by over 12 million peopel worldwide and are also adopted by numerous healthcare and research institutions. https://www.withings.com/us/en/
Key features of the Withings ecosystem include:
* Sleep Tracking: Advanced sleep meters accurately record sleep cycles, wake periods, and can detect sleep apnea.
* cardiovascular monitoring: Connected hybrid watches monitor heart rate and heart rate variability throughout the day, and can perform medically classified electrocardiograms (EKGs) to detect conditions like atrial fibrillation. They also measure blood oxygen saturation.
* blood Pressure Monitoring: Connected blood pressure monitors enable continuous, at-home blood pressure measurement and allow for secure data sharing with physicians. Integration with a digital stethoscope can aid in the detection of heart valve defects, which are frequently enough associated with hypertension.
The Importance of Connected Health
The partnership highlights the growing importance of connected health technologies in preventative care and chronic disease management. By providing individuals with access to accurate and actionable health data, Withings and Burson Global aim to contribute to a more proactive and personalized healthcare system in Sweden.
