We've got several hints to make your experience as smooth as possible and the measurements more accurate:
- If your hands are damp with water or sweat, dry them: moisture will interfere with the pulse required for measurements.
- We recommend taking measurements while standing, as it improves the accuracy; however, you can also do it while sitting. The main thing is that your pose does not change from measurement to measurement.
- Measurement is best done once a day. The water content in the body changes during the day, so if you take measurements several times a day, the data may differ markedly due to those changes.
- You will get the most consistent results if you take measurements under the same conditions once a day. We recommend taking measurements in the evening before eating.
- It is better to take measurements in clothes.
- Hands should be clean (Avoid dust, flour, magnesia or other loose materials on the hands).
- You should not be excessively sweaty or wet during the measurement.
- Too hairy hands can create a slight loss in accuracy.
