Withings, smart body composition meter that can measure "blood vessels"
Withings has added a new function "blood vessel age" to the smart body composition meter "Body Cardio".
This is a function developed by a cardiovascular specialist, and the user's blood vessel age is displayed in three stages, "non -optimal", "normal" and "optimal" compared to actual age just by riding a BODY CARDIO.
The blood vessel age is calculated based on the "pulse wave propagation speed", an index indicator of blood vessels.The pulse wave propagation speed is an index used in many medical institutions to indicate signs of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, bad cholesterol, heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, and myocardial infarction.
Body Cardio uses a cardiac record and impedance pretism mole technology to measure the speed in which blood flows from the heart to the feet.Each time the heart beats, the weight changes lightly, and when the blood reaches the feet accordingly, the pulse wave propagation speed can be calculated by recognizing the change of the current flowing into the body.
Use your own algorithm to calculate blood vessels.The width of the blood vessel age is calculated in light of the measured value of the pulse wave propagation speed with the age and normal value of the user.The algorithm was developed by Dr. Stephen Laurent, a circulating specialist at European Georges Pompideau AP-HP Hospital.
It is possible to measure within 30 seconds, and the Health Mate application allows you to check more detailed age and exercise and dietary advice to improve the health of new blood vessels.
BODY CARDIO is a smart physical composition meter that can measure the body fat, muscle mass, body hydration rate, bone volume, and heart rate by the Biodial Electric Impidance Act, in addition to the weight and BMI.Data can be managed in the application by wireless function.The price is 20,218 yen.
