This nifty gadget is laced with various tech components that help to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Unlike most nutrition scales, the Slate connects via Bluetooth to a user's smartphone. After connection, the portable device uses a mobile app to provide personalized nutritional information such as calorie intake, food weight, protein, carbs, fat and more. Slate will automatically sync to a user's phone after they've placed food on the device, which will send all the aforementioned information directly to the mobile app. The Slate Nutrition Scale is like having a personal traveling dietitian. Due to its tracking of a user's daily food intake, it becomes easier for dieters to reach their nutritional goals much faster. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Smart Scales:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the health and wellness industry by providing portable smart scales that sync with smartphones to provide personalized nutritional information. - **Bluetooth-enabled Devices:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by creating more devices that connect via Bluetooth to smartphones for seamless data transfer and personalized experiences. - **Mobile Health Apps:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the mobile app industry by developing apps that track and provide personalized nutritional information to help individuals achieve their health goals. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the health and wellness industry by incorporating portable smart scales that provide personalized nutritional information to support healthy lifestyles. - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by creating more Bluetooth-enabled devices that seamlessly sync with smartphones for enhanced user experiences. - **Mobile App:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the mobile app industry by developing apps that track and provide personalized nutritional information to help individuals achieve their health goals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Health Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-body-scan-2.md) - [Smart-Designed Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartdesigned-body-scale.md) - [Smart Home Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actofit-smart-scale-home.md) - [Holistic Health Smart Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korehealth-korescale.md) - [Smart Scale Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-scale-meal-kits.md) - [Multifunctional Home Smart Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-scale-ultra.md) - [High-Precision Sensor Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/household-smart-scale.md) - [Ultra-Precise Smart Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-ultra-bodyscan.md) - [Cellular-Connected Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-body-pro-2.md)
