What is a Nerve Health Score?
How Withings Body Comp 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 Comp 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 Comp 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 Comp 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.
