Your bathroom scale could soon warn you about heart failure
NCT ID NCT07654491
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test whether an algorithm that analyzes data from Withings smart scales (weight, body water, and step counts) can accurately detect heart failure. Researchers will look back at data from 9,000 people aged 45 and older in the US. If the algorithm works well, it could become a non-diagnostic tool that simply notifies users to see a doctor for further evaluation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Withings Heart Function Risk Notification (HFRN) algorithm
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, at-home way to alert people to possible heart failure, prompting earlier medical check-ups.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective study using existing data, not a controlled trial. The algorithm may not be accurate for all users, and false alarms or missed cases are possible.
