Withings debuted its Smart Body Analyzer scale at CES 2013, and as of today, the scale is available for purchase.

Like its previous Wi-Fi Body Scale, Withings’ Smart Body Analyzer tracks weight and body fat, but this updated version also monitors heart rate and environmental air quality.

Air quality detection might seem like a strange addition to a scale, but Withings says that the feature, which measures ambient temperature and carbon dioxide levels, is designed as a sleep and health aid.

High levels of CO2 can produce a range of adverse health effects: deterioration of sleep quality, headaches, dizziness, restlessness, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, sweating, etc. By monitoring and managing indoor air quality, people can live and sleep in a healthier environment.

The scale, which requires four AAA batteries to function, sends the information that it collects to Withings’ cloud service, which works in conjunction with the company’s Health Mate app. The data can also be accessed by third party apps like RunKeeper and Fitbit.

Withings’ Smart Body Analyzer is currently available from the Withings website for $149.95.
