"Back in 2023, Withings launched Body Scan, a super-premium scale with the sort of tech found in a high-end gym or low-end clinic. It had a six-lead ECG, offered segmented body composition and could monitor your nerve health, among other things. Now the company has rocked up at CES 2026 in Las Vegas with a second-generation model that adds in tests for hypertension and cellular health."
"The first generation Body Scan checked 40 biomarkers, while the new model has 60, and even the press materials need a bulleted list to talk about the new features. Topping the bill is the new Impedance Cardiography (ICG) which monitors your heart's capacity to pump blood to the organs. Second, Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) uses a low level electrical current to check your body's total water, letting the scale keep an eye on your cellular age, active cell mass and metabolic efficiency."
Withings' Body Scan 2 is a second-generation smart scale presented at CES 2026 that expands biometric testing beyond the original model. The new scale measures 60 biomarkers, up from 40, and adds Impedance Cardiography (ICG) to monitor cardiac pumping capacity and Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) to assess total body water, cellular age, active cell mass and metabolic efficiency. A clinically validated AI model analyzes the collected data to estimate hypertension risk, glycemic regulation, and projected health trajectory while offering tips to improve healthspan. The retractable handle now houses the display, simplifying reading but introducing a single cable failure risk. Withings seeks FDA clearance.
