The BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) sensor could be the first on any mainstream smartwatch. The sensor is commonly found on smart scales and is used to measure body fat composition. The sensor reads impedance, or disruption, of a low voltage current sent through the body. The BIA, then, uses this data to estimate whether the user is lean or obese based on the different electrical resistance qualities that bones, muscle, and fat have.
