Body composition scale: beyond weight alone
Vita is a Wi-Fi bio-impedance scale that estimates body fat, muscle, water and visceral fat — not just weight. Data syncs to the Chutex app with Nora AI for nutrition and long-term trends. Wellness estimates, not clinical diagnosis.
Why body composition beats scale weight alone
Weight on a basic scale mixes fat, muscle, bone and water. During fat loss or recomposition, the number on the scale can stall while body fat drops and muscle rises. A body composition scale like Vita separates those components so you see real progress.
Vita uses 8-electrode bio-impedance across feet and hands (via scale electrodes) to estimate fat mass, visceral fat index, skeletal muscle, lean mass, total body water and BMR. Each session adds 50+ data points synced over Wi-Fi.
For households, up to 8 profiles with automatic recognition let partners, parents or athletes track separate curves without manual switching.
Morning routine for reliable BIA trends
Weigh barefoot on a hard floor, after bathroom, before eating. Keep conditions similar daily so Nora can compare like with like.
Review 6-week and 6-month curves rather than day-to-day swings. Hydration, salt intake and training load explain many single-session changes.
How Vita fits the Chutex ecosystem
Vita is the home anchor for body composition. Elio adds wrist-based sleep, HRV and activity. Nora AI crosses both signals for nutrition and recovery coaching in one Chutex app.
Chutex Health data for Vita is hosted with an HDS-certified provider in France (GDPR). 24/7 physician teleconsultation and Chutex Care teleassistance are France-only — US and UK users rely on local 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 like a glucometer (indicative estimation with Elio only).
- 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 subscription by market
The Vita bio-impedance scale is sold across Europe. 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.
Frequently asked questions
What is a body composition scale?
A scale that estimates fat, muscle and water — not just total weight — using bio-impedance. Vita adds Wi-Fi sync, Nora AI nutrition coaching and long-term trends in the Chutex app.
How is Vita different from a bathroom scale?
Basic scales show weight only. Vita adds 12+ composition measures, visceral fat index, segmental breakdown, metabolic age estimate and automatic Wi-Fi upload.
Is Vita a medical device?
No. Vita is a wellness connected scale. BIA estimates are indicative and not intended to diagnose disease. Consult a clinician for symptoms or treatment decisions.
Can I use Vita with a pacemaker?
No. Bio-impedance is contraindicated for pacemaker or implanted stimulator wearers. Use weight-only mode only if your clinician explicitly approves an alternative method.
How often should I weigh in?
Daily morning weigh-ins after bathroom, before breakfast, give the most comparable BIA trends. Nora uses rolling averages to smooth day-to-day noise.
