Tried scale that help monitor the health

These scales do not just weigh, they analyze the condition of the body

Have You noticed how the increased popularity of healthy lifestyle in the last couple of years? Difficult to say exactly what this is, but the fact that your body needs to follow, understood by many. Usually everyone uses their tools on the way to the goal: someone puts calories in a mobile app, the other spends every night in the hall.

One of the first smart scales, has released the startup Picooc. Between the models differ in size, design and type of connection (for more information ). All the rest of the model measure the same number of records and store them in the free app. For example, if connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth, and S3 Lite — with the help of Wi-Fi, that is, support both interfaces. On these scales today and we'll talk, because this is a real flagship.

All weights are delivered in a stylish box.

Of Course, the "smart" functions of the S3 model is not limited to only Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Besides the fact that these scales show the weight, they also monitor the health of the body as a whole, which analyze fluctuations in the composition and weight of the body. During each measurement are read by as many as 12 parameters:

the
• Weight
the
• BMI (the body mass index)
the
• Total percentage of fat tissue
the
• Percentage of visceral fat
the
• protein Content

Basal metabolic rate the

• Muscle mass

Bone mass the

• the water Content in the body
the
• Body type
the
• Weight of skeletal muscles
the
• Metabolic age

The Sensor is so sensitive that it notices even the slightest changes in your body. Therefore, it scales Picooc allow you to get a comprehensive report on the state of the body.

How to work smart scale

No wires and long measurements to retrieve all of the data is enough to stand on the scales for a few seconds. When you stand up, through the body is ignored imperceptible discharge current that reads all the necessary parameters. You need to weigh barefoot because shoes or socks, such a category simply does not break. This method of measurement is known as the method of bioimpedance — with the help of special sensors scales on the resistance of the tissues of the body, analyze the body composition. Measured the electrical resistance of the lower body, because the current goes through the shortest path. Therefore, a significant deviation from the average parameters in the upper part of the body can result in low accuracy of measurements. First and foremost, this assumption applies to athletes with a strongly developed musculature. It is a feature of the format of the application of the methodology in the form factor of the household weights. However, according to the manufacturer, Picooc working on improving the algorithms for such groups of users. The application has a beta version for athletes. Recommendations for its use can be found in the Appendix.

Batteries included

Since we are dealing with albeit small, but still charging electricity, these weights cannot be used for people with pacemakers. And pregnant women before using one should consult a doctor, as in pregnancy varies considerably in the composition and proportions of the body correct will only show the weight in the application.

It is Important to understand that household scales (even intelligent ones) are not a medical device and cannot claim absolute medical accuracy. However, perfect for tracking the trends of the measured parameters of the body.

The Advantage of scales Picooc not only in functionality but also in accounting for the racial features of a Constitution (you need to choose your race at registration), as well as tracking additional parameters in the application: waist, hips, etc. Can no longer write in a notebook or note — all measurements will be in one place.

All information — mobile application

Yes, the degree of "cleverness" Libra app, available as , and can compete. Mobile application Picooc sent all the data. On the main screen you can view information about each dimension. It consists of weight and fat percentage in the body. According to the results of weighing in the program credits are awarded based on all measured indicators.To get access to detailed information, just select any dimension. The indicators are grouped according to the degree of danger, so do not have to go directly to a doctor to do the deciphering. The app syncs with the ecosystems "health" of Apple and Google, and has a through synchronization with other applications where you must enter data about your weight.

visualized on indicators

The Summary information for all indicators for a specific period of time, you can see in the "Trend". Just choose a time period below to access the schedules on which you can track your progress. For example, it can be concluded that although for several months the weight slightly increased, the fat content was less, and this means muscle mass is increasing.

Conveniently, the app supports an unlimited number of users, that is able to weigh as the owner and relatives. The main thing is not to forget to choose the required user.
Alternatively, anyone can download the app to your smartphone to show your results to other family members.

Increase in weight does not always mean increase fat content

The "Analyze" helps more details located in the measurement results. For example, if you set a goal, and every week to track her down. Plus the app gives you various tips about how to improve their performance — I now must control your calorie intake.

the application presents a variety of Analytics tools

What is Libra Picooc very helpful is in tracking workout progress. By providing detailed Analytics for indicators you can find, for example, how much increased amount of muscles — if it remained unchanged, perhaps, the type of exercise should change. But diet, of course, should not be forgotten.

We in the editorial was a long-standing — at the expense of support for multiple users, everyone can weigh in and see their performance of the body. This is the optimal scale as the size of the platform (in the office a lot of places), and size of the foot — suitable right up to size 50. And here at home, many are Mini: for small bathroom the most it (26x26x2 cm to 33×33×2.4 cm from Picooc S3), foot size — 45, and weigh a bit.

Where to buy smart balance?

Now is the perfect time to start getting ready for summer (and the holidays are coming, and this gift many will find it useful), so go to Russia. When ordering don't forget the promo code for a 20% discount — HI20, which acts on the whole line of smart scales Picooc until December 31.
