This [smart scale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-scale-ultra) doesn't just show the person standing on top their weight but can collect a much larger amount of data and send it to the user's smartphone. The 'Pivotal' scale tracks weight, [body mass index](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmi-health-tracker-app) and lean body weight -- giving the person a more accurate image of their health.

While many people base their health purely on their body weight, there are many factors that add up to this dreaded number. Muscle mass is heavier than fat for instance, meaning that your weight can rise even if you have been exercising and are generally more healthy.

The sleek scale presents this data on the LCD screen as well as on the [connected app on a smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitness-calculator), enabling users to make goals and track changes continuously.
