Weight loss and fitness is big business. Consumers spend billions every year in an effort to lose weight and get healthier and high-tech device manufacturers are not about to be left behind. The latest product innovation from Withings, the Wi-Fi scale, allows you to connect directly to the internet to upload your weight and body fat data so that you can access it anywhere you are with a handy little iPhone app.

The Withings WiScale is first and foremost an intelligent scale. Every time you step upon it, it automatically records your weight, fat mass and muscle mass readings. It stores them on its internal memory and then wirelessly sends them to the WiScale service to that you can track your results from any web browser or Internet-connected phone. It gives you the ability to track and store data for multiple users so that an entire family can take advantage of the WiScale. It also calculates your body mass index and shows how you compare to the “ideal” numbers for someone your age, sex and body type. I’m sure that will do loads for the self-esteem of its users.

Overall, the WiScale is a pretty cool little piece of technology and I’m sure it will help those low motivation levels when it comes to working out.It might also come in handy for physicians that are looking to keep tabs on their weight loss patients. Whe WiScale is currently available in Europe for 129EUR and should be available in the US sometime in September. For more information and to see it in action you can surf over to www.withings.com.
