At Withings we leverage cutting-edge
technology to invent products that give people the knowledge they need to live
happier, healthier lives. Our latest innovation, Body Cardio, delivers on this
promise by bringing a vital new heart health metric home, so that anyone can
keep tabs on their cardiovascular health and be empowered to take action to
improve it. With expanded full body composition, exclusive cardiovascular
health insights, and a seamless connection to the Health Mate app, Body Cardio
is the world's most advanced scale.With every beat the heart generates
a wave that propagates along the arteries. The propagation speed of this wave
is directly linked to the health of your arteries. Faster speeds indicate
stiffer arteries, which increase the risk of developing hypertension or
cardiovascular disease.Each weigh-in will provide a pulse
wave velocity reading and assessment within the Health Mate app. Taking age
into account, the app will inform as to whether it is optimal or not, and
provide tips to improve it. Whatever your fitness level, you will be able to
clearly see how adopting small lifestyle changes — like a healthier diet and
more activity — can have a big impact on improving the health of your arteries.
If we could have just one measurement
for cardiovascular health, it would be pulse wave velocity. Alone it tells us
more than all the other indicators combined... We are entering a new medical
era, because this parameter that was previously restricted to laboratories is
now accessible to the general public, who will be able to use such information
to improve heart health.At only 0.7 inches thick with a
solid aluminum base, Body Cardio has no feet to adjust, making it the thinnest,
most stable scale available. And while you might weigh less on the moon, it's
nice to get a highly-accurate weight anytime you are on earth — thanks to its
design, Body Cardio works equally well on any surface, from a hard floor to a
thick carpet.
