The world’s first longevity station is honored for turning the daily weigh in into a complete view of cardiometabolic health
BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Withings is honored to announce that Withings BodyScan 2 has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026. The world’s first at-home longevity station, BodyScan 2 turns a simple daily weigh in into a complete cardiometabolic check, helping people see whether their everyday habits are adding years to their healthy life or taking them away.
For Withings, this honor is a meaningful milestone. Since inventing the first smart scale in 2009, the company has been guided by a simple belief: the body is already sending signals long before anything feels wrong, and everyone deserves an easy way to hear them at home. BodyScan 2 is the latest expression of that belief, built on more than 50 patents and fifteen years of medical engineering.
“When we invented the first smart scale in 2009, we believed the bathroom scale could become a window on health. BodyScan 2 shows how far that idea can go. We are honored by TIME’s recognition, and even more excited by what it represents: the future of health starts long before the doctor’s office, at home, every morning, while there is still time to change the story,” said Eric Carreel, Chairman and Co-founder of Withings.
BodyScan 2 tracks more than 60 biomarkers and fits into a routine people already have. The Daily Scan captures weight, body composition, visceral fat, heart rate and vascular age every morning in seconds. The Longevity Scan goes further: with both arms raised on the retractable handle, users get segmental body composition across six body zones through 13 frequency bioimpedance spectroscopy, a six lead ECG with AFib detection, blood oxygen (SpO2) and Blood Pressure Insight Notifications. Results appear on the color display built into the handle and sync to the Withings App, building a continuous picture of how the body changes over time.
The recognition is shared with the engineers, designers, clinicians and researchers who brought it to life, as well as the people who step on it every morning. It also marks the third time a Withings product has been named to TIME’s Best Inventions list, following Body Scan in 2022 and BeamO in 2024, and comes on the heels of BodyScan 2 being named a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree.
Withings BodyScan 2 is available in the US at withings.com for $599.95 and is FSA/HSA eligible. Every purchase includes a one month free trial of Withings+, which unlocks scores such as Heart Age.
