The endless searching for the right tools to measure your body STOPS NOW. When it comes to tracking your health, smart scales have been the go to gadget. They promise insights into body fat, muscle mass, hydration and more. Sounds fancy, but they're riddled with assumptions. Studies show smart scales can be off by 21-34% compared to clinical methods. So what if we told you we have something better? No guesswork. Just science. A solution with low cost, less tech and smarter metrics.
What Are Smart Scales?
Typically Smart Scales use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to determine body fat percentage, muscle mass and other data points. BIA works by sending low-level electrical current through the body when stepping onto one of the scales. The scale’s built-in processor or a connected smartphone app processes the raw data from the weight measurement and BIA. Body fat scales aren’t fool proof, and some research suggests they lack accuracy. The accuracy can vary and depends on several factors, including the brand and model of the scale, the technology used for measurements, hydration levels, skin temperature, and how well the scale is calibrated and maintained.
Why You Can Do Better?
We know why you can do better, because we are better! Mybvi doesn’t need anything other than your smartphone to give you real and accurate results in seconds. With our app you can find out where the weight in your body is distributed, total body fat percentage, amount of visceral fat in your body and many more measurements. These can give you a real indication of how healthy your body is from the inside and how to move forward with any workout or diet plans.
Smart scales range from £23-£100, mybvi is free to download and then £3.99 a month for premium features. Smart scales tend to use generic formulas based on population averages, this can lead to misleading results and even reinforce unhealthy goals. But mybvi uses advanced computer based technology to create a 3D model of your body in its cloud system from your two scans to give you real metrics.

Smart scales had their moment. But in a world where accuracy, simplicity, and affordability matter more than ever, mybvi is the clear winner. No guesswork, just real insights that help you take control of your health.
