What We Do
BodyScanHQ researches home body composition monitors — smart scales using bioelectrical impedance, multi-electrode handheld devices, and related home wellness technology — and publishes editorial reviews and buying guides to help readers choose the device that fits their goals.
Our editorial focus is the value-tier and premium-tier of the category, where the meaningful hardware differences live, plus an honest read on the entry tier for readers who genuinely want a budget option.
How We Make Money
The site is monetized through affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks one of our links and makes a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or affiliate network at no additional cost to the reader. We work with the MaxBounty affiliate network for our primary product recommendation, and we use Amazon's affiliate program for selected entry-tier links. We do not run display advertising or paid placements, and our editorial recommendations are not influenced by individual commission rates.
How We Evaluate Products
Our editorial process draws on three inputs:
- Manufacturer specifications for each product we cover — hardware design, reported metrics, app capabilities, and stated features.
- Analysis of publicly available customer reviews on major retail platforms and review sites, looking for patterns in user experience over time.
- Editorial judgment about how each product fits the use cases our readers care about — primarily body recomposition, GLP-1 medication progress monitoring, and upgrading from basic bathroom scales.
What We Don't Do
- We do not conduct laboratory testing of products.
- We do not have controlled access to reference equipment such as DEXA scanners, BodPod, or hydrostatic weighing tanks.
- We do not present our rankings as clinical accuracy comparisons.
- We do not personally test every product we review; our coverage is editorial research, not first-person experience reporting.
- We do not accept paid placements, sponsored content, or "pay-to-rank" arrangements with manufacturers.
Who Operates This Site

Our Research Editor
Sarah Merritt is a Research Editor for BodyScanHQ. She focuses on home health and wellness technology, with editorial coverage built from product research, manufacturer specifications, and analysis of customer reviews across major retail platforms. Her work compares devices across price tiers and use cases to help readers identify the option best suited to their situation.
She does not conduct laboratory testing or hold clinical certifications. Her role is editorial research and synthesis, not clinical validation. Where the site reports an accuracy figure, that figure comes from manufacturer documentation or peer-reviewed sources cited on the relevant page — not from in-house measurement.
A Note on Health Information
BodyScanHQ does not provide medical advice. The devices we cover are consumer products for home use. Questions about whether a body composition monitor is safe or appropriate for your specific health situation — including pregnancy, implanted electronic medical devices, or any chronic condition — should be directed to a qualified healthcare provider. Information on the site is editorial research, not a substitute for personalized clinical guidance.
