Household scales are no longer just for measuring weight. Sure, they do that too, but some companies are out to make the scale you step on every morning much, much more than that. The new Withings Body Scan smart scale can measure your weight, record an electrocardiogram (ECG), analyze your nerve activity, and even estimate your body composition.
The Withings Body Scan mostly resembles other smart scales. It’s covered in a single tempered glass panel and has a 3.2-inch LCD. What differentiates it, though, is a retractable handle above the display, which handles (heh) ECG and body composition measurements.
