Withings unveiled Body Scan 2 at CES 2026, turning a bathroom scale into an “at-home longevity station” that claims to spot early signs of hypertension and prediabetes without cuffs or needles.
How It Works
A retractable handlebar with four steel electrodes pairs with eight others under the tempered-glass platform. Together they feed five medical-grade sensors normally found only in clinics. After a 90-second weigh-in, data syncs over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Withings app on iPhone or Android.
What It Measures
The scale buckets its 60 biomarkers into three groups:
- Heart & vascular: cuff-free blood-pressure risk, arterial stiffness, cardiac output
- Cellular & metabolic: mitochondrial efficiency, cellular aging pace
- Diet & glycemic: early glycemic dysregulation that can precede diabetes
The app converts these into a personalized Health Trajectory score that ignores daily weight swings and instead charts long-term direction.
Privacy, Price, Release
Withings says the device complies with GDPR and HIPAA and holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 security certifications. It runs on a rechargeable battery rated for up to 15 months per charge.
| Region | Price |
|---|---|
| US | $600 |
| UK | £450 |
| AU | AU$899 |
Body Scan 2 is pending FDA clearance for select metrics and is expected to ship in Q2 2026 through Withings, Amazon, and select retailers.
Key Takeaways
- 60 biomarkers distilled into one trend-based Health Trajectory score
- Early warning system for hypertension and prediabetes without extra gear
- $600 price positions it as a premium wellness tool, not a casual scale
- 15-month battery and robust privacy certs aim to ease adoption hurdles
If the FDA signs off, Withings’ $600 scale could make daily, clinic-grade longevity tracking as routine as brushing your teeth.
