<strong>How does the BodyPedia Smart Scale work?</strong>

The BodyPedia Scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), sending a safe electrical current through the body to measure various health metrics. Its 8-point tactile electrodes and multi-frequency currents increase accuracy.

How accurate is the BodyPedia Scale?

While not as precise as a clinical DEXA scan, the BodyPedia Scale uses Direct Segmental Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA), which is among the most advanced BIA methods available for at-home use. Studies suggest that DSM-BIA can provide reliable estimates of lean mass and fat mass in general populations, although results may vary based on hydration, posture, and time of day.

Can multiple users track their data?

Yes, the BodyPedia app allows for the creation of multiple user profiles. Each user’s data is stored separately, making it suitable for households, fitness professionals, or group environments where several individuals need personalized health tracking.

What metrics does the BodyPedia Smart Scale measure?

This scale captures over 40 health metrics, including body fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, total body water, basal metabolic rate (BMR), protein levels, segmental analysis by limb, and more. This provides a detailed snapshot of overall health and physical status.

Does the BodyPedia Scale sync with fitness apps or devices?

Yes, the scale integrates with various health platforms, including Apple Health, Google Fit, and other fitness tracking apps. This allows users to consolidate their health data and monitor trends alongside workout activity, nutrition, and other lifestyle metrics.

Is the BodyPedia Scale safe for people with medical devices like pacemakers?

Bioelectrical impedance devices such as the BodyPedia Scale are generally not recommended for individuals with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, as the electrical current, though mild, may interfere with device function. Pregnant women should also consult their healthcare provider before use.
