Detection of markers of heart health and type 2 diabetes
The device is thus able to measure heart rate and detect problems such as atrial fibrillation or to estimate the vascular age. The scale will also be able to detect peripheral neuropathies, a complication of Type 2 diabetes. The device evaluates the capacity of sweat glands, an indicator of nervous activity, by diffusing a direct current via the electrodes.
The scale displays all information directly on a LCD screen 3.2 inch, and can be synced with Android or iOS smartphone. Withings announced a one-year battery life and the device will be available in black and white. The launch is scheduled for the second half of 2022 at a price of 299.95 euros.
