About This Product.

The Withings Body Scan is a smart body composition scale that goes considerably further than a standard bathroom scale. It measures weight alongside segmental body composition — breaking down fat mass, muscle mass, and water distribution by body region, not just as a single whole-body figure. It also takes an electrocardiogram reading via a handle you grip during the scan, providing a six-lead ECG that can detect atrial fibrillation and other irregular rhythms. Nerve activity in the feet is assessed through vascular age estimation, and the scale tracks visceral fat, bone mass, and long-term trends over time through the companion Health Mate app.

This device suits people who train seriously and want data beyond the bathroom mirror: athletes monitoring muscle gain and fat loss by segment, individuals with a family history of cardiovascular issues who want a daily passive screen, or anyone whose clinician has asked them to track body composition over time. It is not a clinical diagnostic instrument, but the ECG function uses medically recognised lead configurations that produce a readable PDF you can share with a doctor.

The data it generates earns its place precisely because it is specific. Segmental composition figures are more actionable than a single body-fat percentage, and a six-lead ECG captured at home over weeks is more informative than a single in-clinic snapshot.

How to Take It

Step on the scale each morning before eating or drinking, holding the grip handle as directed to complete the ECG and segmental scan. Daily measurements at the same time of day produce the most consistent trend data. Sync results to the Health Mate app after each session to review your metrics and long-term progress.

Frequently Asked.

How does the ECG on a scale compare to a medical ECG?

The Body Scan uses a six-lead configuration — grip electrodes in the handle plus foot electrodes on the platform — which is more detailed than a single-lead wearable ECG. It is not equivalent to a full clinical 12-lead ECG, but it produces a readable PDF that many GPs and cardiologists find useful as a supplement to in-clinic monitoring.

Is the body composition data accurate for athletes with high muscle mass?

Bioelectrical impedance scales, which this device uses, can slightly overestimate body fat in very lean or heavily muscled individuals. The figures are most useful as a relative trend over time rather than as absolute reference values — consistency in when and how you measure matters more than any single reading.

Can I share the data with my GP or specialist?

Yes. The Health Mate app allows you to export ECG readings as a PDF, which you can share directly with a clinician. Body composition trends are also exportable, making it straightforward to include in a consultation.

Who should not use the ECG function?

Anyone with a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, or other active implanted device should not use the electrical measurement functions. If you have a known heart condition, check with your cardiologist before relying on the device for rhythm monitoring.

How often should I take a measurement?

Daily measurement at the same time — typically first thing in the morning — gives the most consistent trend data. Body composition figures fluctuate with hydration and food intake, so single readings are less meaningful than the rolling average the app calculates over weeks.

More data than I expected from a scale

4 months ago

I bought this after my cardiologist mentioned keeping an eye on things at home. The ECG feature is genuinely useful — I can share the PDF directly with my GP rather than trying to describe symptoms. The segmental breakdown is what really got me though. Knowing that my left leg has notably less muscle than my right told me something about my training I hadn't clocked. Syncs cleanly to Health Mate, no fuss.

Worth every penny if you train seriously

5 months ago

Started using this about six weeks into half marathon prep. Wanted to track whether I was losing muscle alongside fat during high mileage weeks. The segmental data is exactly what I needed — you can actually see changes by body region rather than one blunt number. The vascular age feature is a nice bonus, though I don't fully understand it yet.

Solid bit of kit

6 months ago

Family history of heart issues so I wanted something passive I could do daily without thinking about it. The ECG takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. No alarms triggered yet which is reassuring. The body composition side is genuinely detailed compared to my old Fitbit Aria.

Impressive device, gripe about the handle

8 months ago

The data output is excellent and the Health Mate app visualises trends well. My one frustration is that the ECG handle feels a bit flimsy — there's a slight wobble when you grip it and I'm never quite sure I'm holding it correctly. Doesn't affect the readings as far as I can tell, but for £349 I'd expect something more solid in the hand. Would still recommend it.

Finally a scale that gives you something to work with

10 months ago

I'd been using a basic smart scale for years and swapped to this on a friend's recommendation. The difference in data quality is significant. Seeing visceral fat tracked over time alongside segmental muscle figures has genuinely changed how I structure my training blocks. It's not cheap but the data density justifies it.

1 year ago

Been using this daily for over a year. Trends are the real value — month-on-month comparisons in the app are clear and easy to understand. ECG history is a nice thing to bring to annual check-ups. No complaints.
