Withings Receives FDA Nod for Innovative Body Scan Connected Health Station

The Withings Body Scan Connected Health Station has received the coveted green light from the FDA and is poised to make its debut this fall. This smart scale, which garnered acclaim from Engadget’s Daniel Cooper during earlier testing, offers a robust set of features. However, its $400 price tag has been described as a luxury many may not deem necessary.

Originally announced at CES 2022, the Body Scan was initially priced at $300. However, it encountered a delay in FDA approval and had to contend with the challenges posed by inflation and a semiconductor crisis, which contributed to its higher price point.
