1. Using a Smart Scale with a Companion App
- Buy a Smart Scale: Purchase a Bluetooth-enabled smart scale, such as those by brands like Xiaomi, Withings, or Fitbit.
- Download the App: Download the companion app for your scale. For example, Mi Fit for Xiaomi scales or Health Mate for Withings.
- Connect via Bluetooth: Connect your scale to your phone’s Bluetooth. Once connected, step on the scale, and your weight will automatically sync with the app, displaying it on your phone.
- Track Progress: These apps often come with features to monitor weight changes, set weight goals, and analyze trends over time.
2. Using a Health App with Manual Entry
- Install a Health App: Download a general health-tracking app, such as Google Fit or Apple Health.
- Weigh Yourself on a Regular Scale: Use a traditional digital or analog bathroom scale to check your weight.
- Enter the Data Manually: Manually input your weight data into the app. Some health apps can also sync with other devices and provide insights on your weight trends.
3. Using AR Weight Apps (Experimental)
- Some experimental mobile apps claim to measure approximate weight through Augmented Reality (AR) or by analyzing a person’s body size through the camera. However, these apps are generally not as accurate as using a physical scale.
4. Using Wearables like Smartwatches
- Some smartwatches offer weight-tracking capabilities when paired with a smart scale or a health-tracking app.
For the most accurate results, a Bluetooth-enabled smart scale with app compatibility is your best bet. If you’d like specific recommendations on apps or scales, let me know!
