Withings Body Scale now displays your Weight on Panasonic TVs

Last weekend I saw the Withings Scale featured in a TEDx Living By Numbers Event about personal sensors. Wired's Chris Anderson is apparently getting on the Withings scale every day. He also carries around all kinds of sensors to track his activity. The Wi-Fi Body scale has been around for a while. We tested it back in 2009. Today Withings announced that you can now see your weight on your Panasonic TV. The Withings application is now available for download on Panasonic’s  VIERA Connect Market.

You can now access your Withings health dashboard right on your Panasonic VIERA Connect-enabled VIERA HDTV screen with the touch of a button, turning your living room into a virtual gym. The WiFi Body Scale is an automatic weight tracking device for up to 8 people.  It wirelessly records a user’s body weight, lean & fat mass, and calculated body mass index (BMI) onto his/her own secure webpage and/or free Withings iPhone application, WiScale.
