What is a Nerve Health Score?
How Withings Body Smart obtains a Nerve Health Score
- The Nerve Health Score is based on a Galvanic Skin Response
measurement which consists of a chronoamperometric
measurement of the feet. It provides an accurate evaluation
of sweat gland function, also called sudomotor function.
- Withings Body Smart measures the ability of the sweat glands to
release chloride ions in response to an electrical stimulus on the
soles of the feet, the area with the highest sweat gland density.
- The measurement focuses on small nerve fibers that innervate the
sweat glands. The degeneration of these small nerve fibers reduces
sweat gland innervation and impairs the sudomotor function.
Taking a Nerve Health Score
Measurement
How to get a Nerve Health Score:
- Make sure the Withings Body Smart is on a stable floor, and that you
have activated and enabled a Nerve Health Score measurement in
the Withings application.
- Step on the scale with bare feet. Make sure your feet are clean
and well positioned on the electrodes.
- Withings Body Smart will give you a final Nerve Health Score at
the end of each month. The reading might be inconclusive if we
were not able to accurately assess your score. We might invite you
to take a Guided Scan measurement in specific conditions in order
to get a result. To get the most accurate measurements always
take the Nerve Health Score measurements in the conditions
described in the Guided Scan.
