Issy-les-Moulineaux, France – November 25, 2009 — Today, Withings is announcing its partnership with www.DailyBurn.com,
the fastest-growing diet and fitness tracking site on the web with over
300,000 members. As of today, the Withings WiFi Body Scale can
communicate and update a user’s DailyBurn.com personal webpage
wirelessly using its built-in WiFi connection.
The WiFi Body
Scale is the world’s first WiFi connected personal weight scale, which
automatically records the user’s body weight, lean & fat mass, and
calculated body mass index (BMI) to his/her secure webpage and/or free
Withings iPhone application, WiScale
Also, if enabled by the user, the scale can automatically “Tweet”
information in order to get motivation from the user’s followers [more info on that feature here]. DailyBurn.com is a web-based service that allows individuals to
track their weight, log their fitness activities and monitor their
daily food intake/calories all in one place. This partnership is a
great match simply because both the scale and the web site help keep
users motivated and on track to reach their weight and fitness
goals.
"The Withings scale makes it much easier for a
DailyBurn user to log their weight and body fat on our site," said Andy
Smith, CEO of DailyBurn.com. "Our goal for personal fitness tracking
is that it becomes easier and more automated, and our integration with
the Withings scale brings that goal closer to reality."
“We’re
extremely excited to bring yet another added benefit to our customers
through DailyBurn.com,” said Cedric Hutchings, Withings General
Manager. “Our goal is to continuously evolve our product in order to
help keep our users motivated and we will continue bringing valuable
services “at the feet” of our customers with more partnerships to
come.”
