“Longevity” has become one of the biggest buzzwords in health tech, and Withings is leaning heavily on the Body Scan 2, a $600 smart scale designed to paint a more complete picture of your health than just a standard bathroom weigh-in.
I set off in Consumer Electronics Show 2026 As part of a wave Consumer Electronics Show Advertisement The Body Scan 2 is packed with features that are firsts for a home device. It promises to evaluate everything from your risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension) to early signs of blood sugar dysregulation (a precursor to diabetes). In total, Withings says the scale measures more than 60 biomarkers that can impact health, aging and long-term risk of chronic disease.
The goal is not just to show you the numbers, but to detect small physiological changes early — while they are still reversible — and guide you toward lifestyle changes that, over time, can expand and improve your quality of life.
The Body Scan 2 still looks like a futuristic bathroom scale with a pull-up bar attached to the top. It has a flat tempered glass top and a retractable handle bar attached by a cord. This handle has a color display that displays instant scales during weighing operations.
Under the glass cover, the scale uses eight electrodes built into the platform and four stainless steel electrodes in the handle to collect its data and automatically syncs the data via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with the Withings app on your iPhone or Android device. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery that Withings says can last up to 15 months.
The Body Scan 2 looks like a futuristic scale that can measure 60 key health metrics in just 90 seconds.

Withings is not new to this space. The company created one of the original connected meters in 2009 and has since expanded to include smartwatches, blood pressure monitors, and other connected health devices. The Body Scan 2 appears to be the culmination of all these efforts, turning what was once a single measuring device into what the company calls an “at-home longevity station.”
Longevity has become a major topic in health technology, as companies look beyond narrow snapshots taken during doctor visits. Instead, they began to focus more on constantly monitoring the big picture that reflects how people actually live day to day. Withings is betting that frequent home measurements can help detect early warning signs related to heart health, metabolism or blood sugar regulation long before they turn into chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease.
Transform a mountain of metrics into actionable insights
According to Withings, the Body Scan 2 uses five medical technologies that have, until now, been largely limited to clinical or research settings. Collectively, they track 60 biomarkers divided into three basic categories:
Cardiovascular health: The scale can indicate potential risks of high blood pressure without using a traditional cuff, similar to the blood pressure notifications found on newer Apple Watch models. It also looks at how efficiently your heart pumps blood and the elasticity of your arteries. Together, these measurements provide early clues about your heart health and whether your cardiovascular system is under extra stress.
Cellular health and metabolism: The scale also looks at how efficiently your body uses energy at the cellular level and how your cells age. These measurements can provide insight into whether factors such as stress, inactivity, inflammation, or diet may be affecting your overall health.
Diet and blood sugar regulation: The scale also looks for early signs of blood sugar dysregulation, or how well your body is managing blood sugar. Poor regulation can be a precursor to diabetes and cause fatigue, increased belly fat and ultimately accelerated aging (often without any obvious symptoms).
After a roughly 90-second weigh-in that requires you to pull the handle bar down to hip level, the app uses those measurements to come up with what Withings calls a Health Trajectory score that you can view in the Withings app. It creates a personalized baseline for your health and tracks its trends over time, rather than focusing on daily fluctuations.
The $600 Body Scan 2 can flag warning signs of chronic diseases before they become untreatable.
Beyond the score itself, the app flags any significant changes from this baseline and gives you guidance on lifestyle modifications that can help correct any negative trends. The idea is to detect potential problems early, when they’re most likely to be fixable, and give you a preview of how those changes will impact long-term health.
As with all health data, privacy is a major concern. Withings addresses this issue by revealing that the Body Scan 2 is GDPR and HIPAA compliant, and holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications for data security and privacy management.
Pricing and availability
The Body Scan 2 is awaiting FDA approval for specific metrics and is scheduled to launch in Q2 2026. Pricing has been set at $600, £450 and AU$899 respectively. It will be available through Withings, Amazon, and select retailers.
We haven’t tested the Body Scan 2 yet, but we’ll update our coverage once we’re able to spend time with it in the real world.
