Withings, a well-respected name in the digital health business, has just introduced a scale that measures your heart rate and pulse wave velocity.
Wikipedia defines pulse waves velocity as a measurement from the amount of time a wave, created each time your heart beats, takes to travel through your arteries. “The faster the wave, the stiffer your arteries are, in turn indicating an increased risk of health issues. The slower the wave, the healthier your heart is.”
Of course, Withings warns that nothing replaces a thorough medical examination, but some people like check their measurements at home as well. For those potential customers, the Withings’s latest smart scale retails at $179.
Mashable gives a few more details.

It sounds as revolution in measuring but I do feel that it is over priced
Also the marketing end is not so cooperativecooperativet
But definitely a valuable product in the industry
Okay, so if I step on the scale and it shows that my arteries are stiff, what then? Won’t just knowing that add to my stress, which will make my arteries stiffen up more? Well, you can see where this is going. I like the idea, but think I’ll take a pass!
