Withings, the company that released its wireless Body Scale to the masses, has now expanded the functionality of the device by letting the Withings application being made available for download on Panasonic’s very own VIERA Connect Market. Originally announced over at the Consumer Electronics Show in January this year, your body scale and TV can now “merge” thanks to the partnership between Withings and Panasonic, letting you access your Withings health dashboard on the Panasonic VIERA Connect-enabled VIERA HDTV display with but a touch of a button. Fancy that, transforming your living room into a virtual gym – albeit sans all the gym equipment.
The Withings WiFi Body Scale is capable of turning an standard bathroom scale into an automatic weight tracking device, being able to work for up to 8 different people. It will be able to record a user’s body weight, lean & fat mass, and calculated body mass index (BMI) onto his/her own secure webpage wirelessly, as well as on the free Withings iPhone application, WiScale, if you so desire. All data on the dashboard is now easily accessible via the VIERA Connect menu page using a single button.
