Withings releases a $600 smart scale that measures body composition in 90 seconds

Withings has released a smart scale priced at $600 that claims to measure body fat distribution and heart function as accurately as machines found in medical clinics. It analyzes 60 health markers in 90 seconds using electrical current—the same principle behind many gym body-composition devices. A diabetes risk feature is pending regulatory approval. The scale includes one month of paid subscription access.
