The Scan helps to reach your health goals, so you can adapt a healthier lifestyle. This moel is the most extensive scale by Withings. You can perform a full body analysis and health check. The measurement is very accurate, because you measure via your hands and feet. This allows you to measure the fat and muscle mass per body part. You can also measure your BMI, bone mass, and the fat around your organs.

Measure the fitness of your heart

With the Scan, you can perform a complete health check every time you use the scale. The scale analyzes your heart, blood vessels, and nerves. For example, you can measure the fitness of your heart and even see possible heart conditions or detect cardiac arrhythmia. You get insight into the health of your blood vessels and about the blood that flows through your veins. The scale also gives a health score for your nerves. This indicates the working of your nerve system. If you have a high risk for diabetes and heart diseases, this model is suitable for you thanks to the health check.

The Comp measures the fitness of your heart, blood vessels, and nerves, but not as extensive as the Scan. With this scale, you can measure your heart rate in rest and how fast your blood flows through your veins. Your heart rate in rest gives insight into the fitness of your heart. The scale also shows an indication of the age of your blood vessels. That way, you get a better image of the health of your blood vessels. Just like the Scan, this model gives the nerves a score that indicates the working of your nerve system. These insights help you to better take care of yourself.

Withings Smart: measures heart rate only

With the Smart, you can't perform an extensive analysis of your heart, blood vessels, and nerves. You can only measure your heart rate with this model. Your heart rate indicates your heart rate in rest. That way, you can get insight in your fitness. A low heart rate in rest indicates your heart is in good health. If you're working towards a more active lifestyle, your heart rate in rest will decrease.
