The Withings Body Scan 2 smart scale promises to be your ‘longevity station’ – thanks to over 60 biomarkers that predict your future health

• Withings has unveiled its Body Scan 2 smart scale at CES 2026
• The device measures over 60 biomarkers to predict your future health
• It also features built-in AI and personalized wellbeing prompts

Think all the best smart scales are just about measuring your weight and giving you a couple of handy pointers? That’s not what Withings wants you to believe, as it’s dubbing its new Body Scan 2 device – unveiled this week at CES 2026 – “the world’s first science-backed longevity station.”

That all sounds pretty grand for a smart scale, so what has prompted the apparent upgrade? According to Withings, it comes down to a few things: the inclusion of over 60 different biomarkers for your health, plus personalized artificial intelligence (AI) integrations that give you tailored and actionable advice. The idea is that these will help improve your long-term health, hence the “longevity station” moniker.

Aside from its software, the Body Scan 2 has a set of eight electrodes in the base and a further four in its retractable handle. There’s an LCD screen that displays scan results, plus two buttons for answering personalized questions relating to your health. On the inside is a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 15 months on a single charge.

The Body Scan 2 starts by offering up a “90-second multimodal longevity assessment” that scans various metrics, including your heart pumping performance and electrical activity, hypertension risk, artery health, cellular health and metabolic efficiency, and your glycemic regulation. Withings says these tests have been chosen for their “predictive value on long-term health,” so taking action on them could help improve your health in the long run.

Once this scan has been completed, the device seeks to find reversible deviations from your health baselines. After that, it gives you actionable steps to tackle the problems and increase your wellbeing. That includes a Health Trajectory score, which Withings says “offers a clear view of long-term health” and aims to motivate you by showing you how changes you make now could improve your outlook for the future.

Withings vs Wyze

The Withings Body Scan 2 follows shortly after the similarly named Wyze BodyScan scale, which also came with a built-in handle for measuring extra health metrics.

However, at $599.95 (around £445 / AU$895), Withings’ offering costs significantly more than the $119.98 Wyze scale. At the same time, it comes with more built-in electrodes, can measure far more metrics, and comes with AI included, which the Wyze device does not.

Both devices give you a high-tech way to measure your wellbeing and make changes to your lifestyle. The Withings Body Scan 2’s focus incorporates more future-gazing features, though, so it might be one to consider if you want to adjust your lifestyle now in order to benefit your prospective self.

Withings says the Body Scan 2 will be released in Q2 2026 and will be available on Withings’ website, Amazon, and at “select retailers.” We’ll have to see how it compares to the competition when it releases and whether it has what it takes to top the smart scale charts.
