KCBS Bloomberg Tech and Business Report · Discussing one of the latest fitness scales and realistic approaches on utilization · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

And we wonder if we're gonna be seeing more of that

in the months ahead, um, will there be more health um gadgets and wellness gadgets um that really um lean into this big trend, as you said, the number of people in this country on these this class of weight loss drugs and really specifically marketing their products um toward those people on the specific journey that they're on.

Um, they they do and I would say as the user of one of those scales I would take the results with somewhat of a grain of salt.

So it's definitely not specifically this group of people who are at risk of that happening, but um that is the marketing that we're seeing.

Oh, so I I um it's it's specific zones that the scale can monitor on your body.
