Curated, not stocked.
Most people tracking body composition are working from a single number — total body fat percentage — which tells only part of the story. The Body Scan gives segmental data and a six-lead ECG in the same two-minute daily routine. We recommend it because the cardiovascular screening function in particular makes it genuinely useful for patients whose doctors want passive, longitudinal data between clinic visits — not just a smarter scale.
About this product
Body Scan
The Withings Body Scan is a smart body composition scale that goes considerably further than a standard bathroom scale. It measures weight alongside segmental body composition — breaking down fat mass, muscle mass, and water distribution by body region, not just as a single whole-body figure. It also takes an electrocardiogram reading via a handle you grip during the scan, providing a six-lead ECG that can detect atrial fibrillation and other irregular rhythms. Nerve activity in the feet is assessed through vascular age estimation, and the scale tracks visceral fat, bone mass, and long-term trends over time through the companion Health Mate app.
This device suits people who train seriously and want data beyond the bathroom mirror: athletes monitoring muscle gain and fat loss by segment, individuals with a family history of cardiovascular issues who want a daily passive screen, or anyone whose clinician has asked them to track body composition over time. It is not a clinical diagnostic instrument, but the ECG function uses medically recognised lead configurations that produce a readable PDF you can share with a doctor.
The data it generates earns its place precisely because it is specific. Segmental composition figures are more actionable than a single body-fat percentage, and a six-lead ECG captured at home over weeks is more informative than a single in-clinic snapshot.

How to use
Step on the scale each morning before eating or drinking, holding the grip handle as directed to complete the ECG and segmental scan. Daily measurements at the same time of day produce the most consistent trend data. Sync results to the Health Mate app after each session to review your metrics and long-term progress.

Common questions
Frequently asked
How does the ECG on a scale compare to a medical ECG?
The Body Scan uses a six-lead configuration — grip electrodes in the handle plus foot electrodes on the platform — which is more detailed than a single-lead wearable ECG. It is not equivalent to a full clinical 12-lead ECG, but it produces a readable PDF that many GPs and cardiologists find useful as a supplement to in-clinic monitoring.
Is the body composition data accurate for athletes with high muscle mass?
Bioelectrical impedance scales, which this device uses, can slightly overestimate body fat in very lean or heavily muscled individuals. The figures are most useful as a relative trend over time rather than as absolute reference values — consistency in when and how you measure matters more than any single reading.
Can I share the data with my GP or specialist?
Yes. The Health Mate app allows you to export ECG readings as a PDF, which you can share directly with a clinician. Body composition trends are also exportable, making it straightforward to include in a consultation.
Who should not use the ECG function?
Anyone with a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, or other active implanted device should not use the electrical measurement functions. If you have a known heart condition, check with your cardiologist before relying on the device for rhythm monitoring.
How often should I take a measurement?
Daily measurement at the same time — typically first thing in the morning — gives the most consistent trend data. Body composition figures fluctuate with hydration and food intake, so single readings are less meaningful than the rolling average the app calculates over weeks.
