Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      The innovations from Withings continue.   The digital health company based in France is out with the Body Smart Scale that offers at a lower price…bioelectrical impedance analysis sensors that can measure heart rate, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate and metabolic age.   There’s also a feature called Eyes Closed Mode…that hides the weight from the scale screen….substituting motivating messages.   Product Manager Antoine Joussain..

“Some people, they don’t want to focus on the result, they want to focus on the trend.  They want to be engaged and motivated to step on the scale.”

The Withings Health Mate app …paired with the scale…offers a great way to keep track of how you are doing…and pairs with other apps and devices as well to help you reach your fitness and health goals.   The price.. about a hundred dollars.
