Already made up of three models (Body, Body+ and Body Cardio), the range of connected scales from Withings welcomes the Body Comp. More advanced, it brings new health measures for an even more complete body check-up.
New body measurements
The evaluation of body composition by multifrequency bio-impedance measurement is thus enriched by the visceral fat rate, in addition to the muscle, fat, water and bone mass rates.
The Withings Body Comp connected scale presented on the Withings stand at IFA 2022.
Body Comp can also carry out a cardiovascular assessment, consisting of a heart rate measurement and an assessment of vascular age. The latter is carried out from the pulse wave velocity (PWV) which consists of a measurement of arterial stiffness. Enough to provide an estimate of heart health according to the age of the user.
Finally, the Body Comp provides an assessment of the health of the nervous system based on the electrochemical conductivity of the skin.
These new measures should help “better understand the risks of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes“, according to Withings.

Technically, the Body Comp scale works with AAA batteries giving it up to 18 months of battery life, according to Withings. It displays the data it measures on a 2.86″ monochrome LCD screen and offers a weighing accuracy of 50 g. Body Comp supports up to 8 users. It is automatically synchronized with a smartphone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in order to use it with the Withings Health Mate application.
Health+
The launch of the Body Comp is an opportunity for Withings to introduce its new Health+ subscription. This adds functionality to the Withings Health Mate app and is essential for taking advantage of forecasts, trends and historical data for vascular age, pulse wave velocity and frequency measurements. heart standing, as well as for the nerve health score.
Withings also claims that Health+ helps its users “understand and better use their health data while providing tools, insights and challenges to change behaviors and outcomes“. Through this subscription, the manufacturer thus offers 6-week modules (on activity, sleep, stress management and nutrition) aimed at acquiring health routines, the fruit of which must be able to be observed during the use of Body Comp with an improvement in biomarkers measured at regular intervals.For Withings, it is a question of establishing a “virtuous circle” by allowing its users to better act on their health.
