Medical teleconsultation: France-only. In the US use 911 and your existing care pathways.

What Vita does, and what it does not do

Vita does

  • Estimate weight and body composition (fat, muscle, water, visceral fat) via bio-impedance.
  • Auto-sync weigh-ins over Wi-Fi to the Chutex app (up to 8 profiles).
  • Drive weight goals, calories and macros with Nora AI and 6/12/24-month trends.
  • Combine with the Elio band in the same app to cross body composition and wrist signals.
  • Allow controlled sharing with family, coach or professional (PDF export).
  • Host data on Free Pro / XPR HDS-certified infrastructure (GDPR), CHUTEX as data controller.

Vita does not

  • Provide a medical diagnosis.
  • Guarantee clinical-grade accuracy like DEXA.
  • Measure blood glucose as a medical glucometer (Vita or Elio alone). Indicative glycemic trend estimation requires Elio + Vita correlated in the app — not a diagnosis.
  • Replace a dietitian, physician or medical advice.
  • Work for pacemaker or implanted stimulator wearers (BIA contraindication).
  • Promise guaranteed weight loss.

Wellness connected scale. BIA estimates are indicative and vary with hydration, meals, recent exercise and time of day.

How to get comparable measurements

  • Weigh in the morning, fasted, after bathroom, dry feet.
  • Same time daily when possible.
  • Avoid immediately after exercise or a large meal.
  • Flat, hard, stable surface.
  • 12 measurement families, 50+ data points and trends per weigh-in.

Services by country

Vita services by market

The Vita bio-impedance scale is sold across Europe as a one-time purchase. Nora AI coach and the Chutex app are included. Some health services are France-only.

24/7 physician teleconsultation and HDS hosting apply to eligible accounts in France only. Outside France, use local care pathways and emergency numbers (911 / 999 / 112). Vita is a wellness scale, not a medical diagnostic device.

What is a body-composition scale like Vita?

A connected scale goes beyond weight: via bio-impedance it estimates body composition (fat mass, muscle, water, visceral fat) and sends data to an app. Vita is the Chutex health scale, built for weight loss, body recomposition and long-term prevention.

Unlike a basic scale showing a single number - Vita combines 8 metal electrodes, 4 ITO bio-impedance sensors and 4 precision load cells on a tempered-glass platform. ± 0.05 kg accuracy up to 180 kg, several months of battery life via USB-C.

Each morning, step barefoot onto Vita: the weigh-in takes seconds and 12+ parameters sync automatically to the Chutex app (iOS and Android) over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, no QR code scanning. Up to 8 user profiles with automatic body-signature recognition.

Vita suits people who want to lose weight, gain muscle, stabilise composition or prevent long-term, with precise tracking, not a fluctuating morning number.

The 12+ parameters measured at every weigh-in

Vita calculates 50+ body data points from each bio-impedance weigh-in, far more than a BMI on a classic scale.

Direct and computed measures: body weight, contextualised BMI, fat mass (% and kg), visceral fat (deep abdominal index), skeletal muscle mass, lean mass, total body water and intra/extracellular split, bone mass, protein mass, basal metabolic rate (BMR in kcal/day), metabolic age, global metabolic index and health score.

Segmental analysis breaks down fat and muscle by zone (arms, legs, trunk). Histories over 6, 12 and 24 months show trends, not daily noise.

Composition accuracy is ± 0.5% fat mass under normal use (bare feet, clean and dry, hard flat surface). Bio-impedance is contraindicated for pacemaker or cardiac stimulator wearers.

Visceral fat, muscle mass and hydration

Weight alone says nothing about metabolic health. Vita distinguishes subcutaneous and visceral fat, muscle and water, key indicators for prevention.

Visceral fat stored around abdominal organs is a metabolic risk marker. Vita estimates its index at every weigh-in and Nora alerts if the trend worsens, even when overall weight looks stable.

Skeletal muscle mass and bone mass are tracked over time: useful for recomposition, bulking or seniors concerned about bone capital. Hydration (% body water) completes the picture.

Nora cross-references these metrics with your goals (fat loss, muscle gain, stabilisation) and adjusts calories, macros and nutrition advice week after week.

Automatic Wi-Fi - Bluetooth and the Chutex app

Vita syncs on its own: no QR code, no manual pairing each time. Your data reaches the Chutex app within seconds.

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for automatic sync after every weigh-in, plus Bluetooth 4.0/5.0 for initial smartphone pairing. Apple Health and Google Fit integrations available.

The Chutex app centralises weight curves, body composition, nutrition goals - Nora reports and PDF export for your doctor. Secure sharing with a loved one, coach or carer, you choose what is visible.

Up to 8 profiles on one scale: automatic recognition by body signature. Ideal for couples, families or housemates sharing a bathroom without reconfiguring the device.

Nora, the AI coach that interprets your body reports

Raw numbers are useless without interpretation. Nora, the Chutex artificial intelligence, analyses your weigh-ins and turns trends into concrete nutrition and prevention advice.

Nora generates weekly and monthly summaries, spots drift (rising visceral fat, falling muscle mass, insufficient hydration) and proposes actions: adjust calories, change macros, set a realistic target weight.

Set a weight goal with a timeline: Nora validates feasibility, builds your plan (calories, macros, daily recipes) and recalibrates at every weigh-in. Automatic reports exportable as PDF for your GP.

Unlike connected scales that only show charts - Chutex includes Nora with Vita (one-time purchase, no subscription), with no separate premium AI coach.

Weight loss, muscle gain and calibrated goals

Vita does more than weigh: it helps you lose, gain or stabilise weight with precise composition tracking and nutrition calibrated to your body.

Losing weight without losing muscle, gaining mass without accumulating visceral fat, stabilising after a diet: Nora tracks fat mass, muscle mass and weight in parallel to show real progress.

The app offers Nora-validated weight goals, adjusted calories and macros, daily recipes and curves over 6 to 24 months. You see your body evolve, not just a morning number.

Paired with the Elio band in the same app - Vita enables non-invasive glycemic trend estimation to refine metabolic and nutrition tracking, a unique Chutex ecosystem advantage.
