Bioelectrical body composition analysers use low-level electrical currents to estimate body composition metrics like fat, muscle, bone, and hydration levels. These devices typically rely on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and may require user inputs such as age, gender, height, or weight to refine results, often displayed as BMI, muscle mass, or body water percentages.
These devices are commonly regulated as medical devices due to their diagnostic or monitoring functions, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are often sold as standalone units or integrated scales, with some requiring calibration or software updates for accurate readings.
