Withings has not rested on their laurels after inventing the world’s first connected scale in 2009. CES 2026 sees the brand once again redefining preventive health with the launch of Body Scan 2.
Honoured with a CES Innovation Award, Body Scan 2 was developed alongside leading cardiometabolic research centres to introduce over 60 health indicators. It is the most advanced at-home longevity and health insights station the brand has created.
Ground-breaking features for a home scale includes:
- A hypertension risk indication
- A view of cardiac pumping efficiency via Impedance Cardiography (ICG)
- An in-depth analysis of cellular health, metabolic efficiency, and glycaemic regulation enabled by ultra-high-frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS).
As chronic conditions continue to rise globally, Body Scan 2 sets a new benchmark for at-home health monitoring by enabling users to gain early insights into their physiological trends – well before noticeable symptoms may emerge.
“The most powerful place to reinvent preventive health is the connected scale. It’s the only moment where we naturally engage our whole body – hands, feet, posture – allowing us to capture more biomarkers in 90 seconds than any wearable can collect in weeks,” Eric Carreel, Founder & President, Withings, said. “Body Scan 2 turns this everyday gesture into a deep health assessment.”
A New Standard in At-Home Health Insights
Body Scan 2 is designed to help users understand the subtle physiological shifts influenced by modern lifestyles – including sedentary habits, chronic stress, disrupted sleep, and unbalanced diets. These changes often occur silently and may contribute to future cardiometabolic conditions if left unaddressed.
“The strongest predictors of long-term health decline appear years before symptoms,” said Dr. Thomas Platzer, General Practitioner and Nutritionist Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Society of Anti-Aging Medicine (GSAAM e.V.). “Measuring cardiac function, arterial stiffness, cellular vitality, and metabolic activity in a longitudinal and integrated way gives us a level of early detection that was previously impossible outside clinical research. It has the potential to change prevention for millions of people.”
What Body Scan 2 Measures
Body Scan 2 provides a 90-second multimodal longevity assessment, analysing the core physiological systems that support long-term health.
Heart Pumping Performance & Electrical Activity
Using Impedance Cardiography (ICG) combined with a 6-lead ECG, Body Scan 2 provides insights into cardiac efficiency, cardiac reactivity, heart age (ICG), cardiac rhythm, and electrical patterns (ECG), including indications of atrial fibrillation. Understanding the heart’s mechanical performance can help users identify patterns linked with fatigue, stress sensitivity, or reduced endurance.
Hypertension Risk Indication
Through a clinically validated AI model, Body Scan 2 provides an at-home indication of potential arterial hypertension risk. This offers an accessible way for users to gain early awareness of a key cardiovascular risk factor without the need for a cuff.
Arterial Health – Elasticity & Vascular Age
Using Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), the device evaluates arterial elasticity and vascular age, revealing early trends in arterial stiffness. Monitoring these indicators may support proactive lifestyle adjustments to maintain cardiovascular health.
Cellular Health & Metabolic Efficiency
Ultra-high-frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) assesses cellular age, active cell mass (ACM), and metabolic efficiency. These insights provide a deeper view of how effectively cells are functioning and recovering.
Glycaemic Regulation
A clinically validated AI model monitors early signs of potential glycaemic dysregulation, detecting subtle shifts in glucose control that may influence energy levels, fat distribution, and overall metabolic wellbeing.
Body Scan 2 integrates five medical-grade measurement technologies previously available only in clinical environments. A full breakdown of biomarkers and their scientific background is included in the ‘The Science Behind’ appendix below.
Personalised, Continuous, Actionable Guidance
Drawing from billions of real-world measurements across the Withings ecosystem, Body Scan 2:
- Establishes each user’s unique physiological baselines
- Detects subtle changes over time
- Offers personalised lifestyle recommendations
- Provides a Health Trajectory Score, helping users visualise how their choices may support long-term health and wellbeing.
Guidance is particularly valuable during periods that commonly affect cardiometabolic balance – including high-stress phases, sedentary routines, mid-life changes, perimenopause and menopause, athletic training cycles, and GLP-1 weight-loss treatments where muscle maintenance is important.
Premium Design for Everyday Use
Body Scan 2 combines advanced technology with a minimalist, durable design. Its single tempered-glass platform integrates 8 ITO electrodes, while the retractable handle includes 4 stainless steel electrodes and a high-resolution LCD colour display for real-time results.
Additional features include:
- Rechargeable battery lasting up to 15 months
- Automatic syncing via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- GDPR and HIPAA compliance with ISO 27001 & ISO 27701 certification
- Strengthened privacy and security standards suitable for global markets.
Pricing and Availability
Body Scan 2 will be available in Q2 2026, with an RRP of $899 AUD (Inc. GST), via Amazon Australia and select local retailers.
