BMI Smart Scale - FitTrack Dara

When standing on the FitTrack scale, a very low, safe electrical signal is sent from four metal electrodes through your feet to your legs and abdomen. The electrical signal passes quickly through water that is present in hydrated muscle tissue but meets resistance when it hits fat tissue. This resistance, known as impedance, is measured and input into scientifically validated FitTrack equations to calculate body composition measurements.

Independent research studies have shown FitTrack consistently measures +/-3% off from the DEXA scan, the Gold Standard, in measurement. This accuracy makes it the most accurate smart scale available today.

Yes! We support Apple iOS 10 or higher and Android OS 5.0 and higher.

FitTrack Dara can measure and track up to 400 pounds (181.437 kilograms).

Each user can sync their own smartphone or share a single app and create profiles in Family Management (Up to 8 Users). If users only have individual profiles in the app, the scale will only sync data to each person’s device.

What is the BMI scale?

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most common measurement used to work out if your weight is healthy in relation to your height. Manual calculation involves taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by the square of your height in meters. However, a BMI scale does all of this for you in a blink of an eye. BMI scales such as the FitTrack Dara even takes it a step further to give you a full breakdown of your body composition measurements in terms of fat mass, muscle mass, and bone mass – a must-have if you are looking to pursue or maintain certain health goals.

How do BMI scales work?

BMI (Body Mass Index) scales usually work through the utilization of bioelectrical impedance. When you step onto the scale, a small electrical current is sent through your leg and across the pelvis. The sensors on the scale will then pick up the amount of resistance met by the current. Fat contains less water than muscle and provides more resistance due to its higher density. Thus, the resistance can then be used to calculate your body’s fat percentage. The FitTrack Dara is a BMI scale that runs such measurements of resistance through scientifically validated FitTrack equations to calculate not only your body fat percentage and BMI but a total of 17 different health indicators. It even has an app where you can access body composition reports. When equipped with so much insightful information, maintaining your health suddenly gets a whole lot easier.

What variable measurement scale is BMI?

BMI is calculated based on two variables, namely your height and weight. To get your BMI, you take your weight in kilograms and divide it by the square of your height in meters. This number is on a continuous scale and is to be seen as part of a range where the healthy range for adults ranges from 18.5 – 24.9. BMI is undoubtedly a useful measurement when you are checking up on your health. Albeit, it is a rather broad and general measure of risk. However, BMI scales such as the FitTrack Dara not only measures your BMI but other important health indicators such as body fat percentage. In fact, it is programmed with scientifically validated FitTrack equations that give you a total of 17 different health indicators for a wholistic look at your health, just by standing on a scale. For a wholistic measure of your health and wellness without the fuss of manual calculations or a visit to the clinic, the FitTrack Dara would be the perfect device.

Who invented the BMI scale?

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is derived from a formula put forth by Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician and sociologist, Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He realized that weight is meaningless measurement if not put into context, and thus proposed the BMI formula to estimate whether a person has a healthy weight. That was in the 1830s. Today, the BMI scale takes on the form of smart scales that can calculate not only your weight but your BMI as well. The FitTrack Dara is the most accurate and advanced of such scales. Using advanced Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology, this BMI scale returns you a BMI that is clinically accurate along with 16 other health indicators for you to best manage your health. Quetelet may have invented the BMI scale, but it is the FitTrack Dara that is the modern-day representation of the famous formula.
