Body Scan 2 from Withings on the way

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. The Paris based digital health company Withings, which makes everything from classic looking smart watches to blood pressure and sleep monitors, the new BeamO device we’ve told you about and more…has something new arriving this spring. The Body Scan scale is getting a refresh and the Body Scan 2 has all of the body mass info and…“We’re going to be able to do a six lead ECG again but also we’re going to give you a hypertension score. Whether it’s normal, whether it’s pre-hypertension and it’s also hypertension risk. And we’re the first company to essentially embed this into a scale and allow you to do this without wearing a wearable. So you’re going to get all this information just by stepping on a scale for 90 seconds every single day.”Withings’ Paul Buckley…among the guests on the latest What’s Next Living Longer Better Smarter podcast.You can find us at Techstination.com.
