Withings body scan

With the Withings Body Scan , the name says it all . The body scales come with an extendable handle with electrodes on the right and left. The specialty: With bioimpedance analysis (BIA) the scales send a weak electrical signal through the body to estimate the body composition. The Body Scan sends the signal through the upper body thanks to a handle. In this way, according to the manufacturer, the new scale is able to output the segmental body composition for arms, legs and torso separately. It also offers functions for heart health, such as the option of recording an EKG. Based on the data, the scale should detect the arrhythmia atrial fibrillation. The Body Scan will be on the market in the second half of 2022 for 299.95 euros.

 The Withings Body Scan can record an EKG, so weighing is a minor matter.

Nextbase iQ

Instead of the home, the Nextbase iQ makes the car smart. The package includes a reversing camera that shows what is happening behind the car when parking. The main focus is on the dashcam, which has two lenses. One keeps the street in view, the other the interior. The Nextbase is equipped with an artificial intelligence that predicts incidents and is supposed to start the recording independently. The Roadwatch AI also monitors the speed and lanes of other road users, Drive Aware keeps an eye on the driver and checks whether he or she is distracted or overtired.

On the plus side, there is also an aluminum housing, a USB-C port and the WLAN standard Wifi 6. The device will be launched in April 2022, but there is no price yet.

 Thanks to flexible hinges, the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 becomes a tablet.
