The ubiquitous struggle for a healthy lifestyle prompted the Chinese Huawei corporation to release Yolanda Smart Body Fat Scale, capable of controlling up to 17 parameters of the human body. The product can also be used for its intended purpose – to determine body weight
In terms of functionality, Yolanda fat scale is similar to traditional fitness bracelets and smart watch fitness applications. However, the main difference is the ability of the scale to measure parameters using bio-impedance analysis, a method based on measurements of the electrical resistance of various parts of the body.
The scales achieve particular accuracy when measuring heart rate (HR), the most important indicator of the user’s health status. By integrating and analyzing the heart rate data with other indicators, such as the percentage of body fat or metabolic rate, Yolanda scales will help determine the state of the body and the user’s biological age. Based on these data, a special diet is developed and a program of physical activity is determined.
WiFi and Bluetooth modules are installed in Yolanda smart scale and the received data are periodically transferred to a cloud storage or to a smartphone. Measurements can be taken for several users, though their number is unlimited. The scales are able to identify registered users.
Yolanda Smart Body Fat Scale works in the range from 200 grams to 180 kg, with an error of 50 grams. The scales are equipped with an HD-LED screen, which is powered by four batteries. The start date for the sale has not been announced yet, but the price is known – $13.
