New age health tracking and management devices have emerged during-and-post pandemic stress-fueled environment. Smartwatches and fitness wearables lead the pack, while ordinary bathroom weight scales leap closely behind as potential health tracking game-changers. These smart scales can measure key metrics, including but not limited to, body fat percentage, heart rate, muscle mass, and body mass index (BMI). And seamlessly sync with apps forming a comprehensive health and fitness ecosystem.
Adding a more desirable metric to the list is the new Fisica smart weight scale developed by Care&Co. Inc. As the abovementioned can analyze biometric signals, they have not yet been able to assess musculoskeletal disorders. Using artificial intelligence and built-in sensors, Fisica can precisely access musculoskeletal health, while a dedicated app delivers personalized management plans to the user.
Musculoskeletal conditions are a common reason for body pains, fatigue, and reduced mobility. Unidentified, these can significantly impact overall health, ability to work, and also the quality of life. Currently, X-ray and CT scans are used for accurate assessment of postural health. But scans expose one to the risk of radiation and, due to their nature, are cumbersome for the elderly and mobility challenged.
With the capable Fisica, users can almost every day analyze and prevent musculoskeletal disorders without the risk of radiation or the pain of getting to a scan clinic. The weighing scale is designed to carry out footprint analysis. When a person climbs onto the scale, the device “assesses skeletal balance and health by measuring the distribution of pressure across the sole of the feet.”
Fisica has a digital display onboard that shows body weight and other health metrics including body posture. The device using AI and 634 sensors can evaluate “footprint pressure distribution,” while the app creates “3D visualization of the user’s overall body condition” and provides information about “areas where pain” or pain-like conditions may develop in the future. It can analyze and inform of potential musculoskeletal disorders and function as a coach to guide with probable exercises to manage health better.
The compact size – similar to a standard scale – makes it easy to store and transport the Fisica, which runs for about a week before requiring recharge. Regular use of the device can allow users to systematically manage their well-being and exercise for better muscle health and even share the data with family, friends, and healthcare providers. If you are ready for real-time health data from your foot pressure and posture and coaching for better workouts every day, you can pre-order the Fisica weight scale through Kickstarter for a super early bird price of $196, which includes a one-year subscription to its app.
