The connected scale: useful accessory in weight loss

There is a wide range of slimming devices. The connected scale is one of them. It allows, just like a traditional scale, to monitor your progress in weight loss. Many French emaciation enthusiasts use this cutting-edge technological tool. Multiple advantages are offered with the use of this accessory dedicated to thinness. Focus on the essentials to know around the connected scale.

Definition and principle of a connected scale

Invented by Jérôme Clerjau, a French engineer, the connected scale is, as its name suggests, a connected weighing object or tool. It is a new generation bathroom scale, a modern version of the classic scale. As a scale, it serves as a weight indicator. And as connected, it is linked to mobile terminals equipped with a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection: tablet, smartphone, etc. These mobile devices are equipped with a dedicated application. The common principle of all connected scales: it is about getting on the machine. You hold your tablet or phone in your hand and the scale displays data on your weight, BMI, bone mass, body fat, and the identifiable amount of water in your body. Still above the connected scale, it sends all the indications of the data, expressed as a percentage, in the application of its mobile device.

Main operation of the connected scale

As the connected scale is an indicator of several different measurements, its handling and operation are rather complex. With it we do not proceed as if we are weighed on a traditional weighing tool: climb above the machine, check its weight and finally descend. Processing all the data is a bit time-consuming with the scale connected. For example, to measure the user's BMI, the user must tell the scale their gender, height and age. In some time the user is kept informed by the scale on the state of his BMI. It remains to know that the one who is weighed on this slimming tool must be wary of the data of the scale if he is in very poor health conditions. Moreover, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, the scale is made to also measure water mass, heart rate, bone mass, muscle mass, etc.

The selection criteria to take into account when buying the device

The sale of connected scales has become popular around the world, particularly in France. As a result, they are exposed in all markets, physical or online. Like all other connected accessories, the connected scale is subject to large-scale tampering. Also, the quality and type of scale varies from one manufacturing plant to another. Therefore, making a good choice is not easy. Another extreme care must be taken when purchasing a custom-made smart scale from a manufacturer. First, consider the display, the most practical aspect of the tool. Indeed, reading the data and figures displayed on the scale should be done without difficulty. Also, emphasis should be placed on compatibility; it depends on the type of mobile at his disposal: iPhone, iPad, Smartphone, etc. The last significant parameter is the design side.
