December 2, 2014 at 17:35Scales are getting smarter: several options for floor and kitchen smart scales
Almost every person at home has floor scales, on which either the whole family or one person is weighed. This is quite convenient - you can monitor the change in weight, weighing before and after training, or before and after the party (but it’s better not to do this, the mood is falling :)).
True, you can monitor weight changes in this case for 2-3 days. If you do not keep a measurement log, all numbers are forgotten. Smart scales, which are becoming more and more popular, will show the dynamics for at least a year without any problems, plus such devices can monitor the fulfillment of the goal to lose a couple of kilograms. What smart scales can the smart device market offer now?
Fitbit Aria WIFI
Fitbit is releasing not only fitness trackers, but also other smart devices. Fitbit Aria WI-FI Smart Scale scales not only allow you to determine weight, but also track detailed dynamics, with analysis and a long-term forecast of changes.
The scales are synchronized with the Fitbit cloud service, where the measurement data is sent. After analysis, the information is displayed in a convenient form for viewing, graphs and charts. You can view data from any mobile device connected to the Network. A review of the results is another useful function that motivates a person to still achieve the task.
The watch is equipped with its own display, which, in addition to the measurement results, displays the battery level and signal strength of the wireless network.
For each member of the family, you can create your own profile, and when measuring weight, Fitbit Aria will automatically recognize the person, fixing the data in his profile.
The price of smart scales from Fitbit in the Russian Federation is 7000 rubles.
iHealth HS3
These smart scales are the cheapest device out of all the above. The price of iHealth HS3 is only 2600 rubles.
The scales are equipped with a Bluetooth wireless module, through which the measurement data is transmitted to a mobile device (Android, iOS). In addition, data is recorded in the iHealth cloud service.
If the user has any other devices from iHealth, then the general measurement data can be viewed and compared in your account.
The maximum load on the iHealth HS3 is 150 kilograms.
Withings WS-50
The developer positions this device as a body analyzer. Scales not only measure the weight of the owner’s body, but also know how to determine the pulse and even monitor the air quality in the room, with an assessment of the ambient temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide.
Measurement data is transmitted via the Wi-Fi wireless module to the “cloud” and the application on the mobile phone. In the “cloud”, a detailed analysis of measurements is carried out, with the output of the analysis in a convenient form for understanding. It is worth noting that third-party applications also release scales. By the way, these scales also have a Bluetooth module, which is used to configure the device.
As usual, scales can also determine body mass index with a percentage of adipose tissue.
The maximum measurement limit is 180 kilograms.
The price of the device in the Russian Federation is 7999 rubles.
Smart Diet Scales
This is a new device for the market of smart scales, designed not to weigh a person, but to control the mass and calorie content of consumed products. In addition, the device (or rather, its application, evaluates the nutritional value of the product).
The weighing bowl is divided into four parts, each of which has its own weight detector. On the scales you can simultaneously weigh four different dishes or products (vegetables, meat, etc.). The principle of operation of the device is explained in the Medgadgets review .
The device’s database contains 210 thousand different products and dishes, plus 80 thousand restaurant dishes. The software allows you to control the course of the diet and the achievement of established goals. In addition, there is a software module that allows you to evaluate the amount of sugar in foods, which is useful for diabetics.
Unfortunately, the developer has not yet announced the price of the device.
Withings Smart Kid Scale WS-40
These are baby scales that can be used to measure the weight of a child from birth until the moment when the weight reaches 25 kg. And then you have to use adult weights :)
The company also developed Withings Baby Companion software for these scales. The minimum step of the scales is 10 grams, which is enough for the most accurate measurement.
The device has a built-in WiFi and Bluetooth wireless module, so the device can transfer data to the cloud storage and directly to the mobile device. There is also the possibility of maintaining several profiles at once, up to 4. Of course, each child in the family receives his own profile, where the data from the scales is transmitted.
The price in the Russian Federation is 8999 rubles.
conclusions
As you can see, in the market of wearable devices - a large number of diverse models of wireless smart scales that can cope with the most unusual task. Now the scales can not only measure weight, as it should, but also control air quality, and even measure the pulse. I wonder when manufacturers will teach their scales how to make coffee in the morning?
