Orvi Body Scale
Set up your scale in under 10 minutes.
The app, setup guidance, your first reading, and what your numbers actually mean.
- 8 electrodes and a handheld bar
- 10 seconds, every morning
- Body composition readings

Step 1
Get the app.
Your Orvi Body Scale pairs with Unique Health, the app that powers every reading you take. It's a 2-minute download, and everything else on this page happens inside it.
Works with any iPhone or Android from the last several years, connected over Bluetooth.

Step 2
Set up your scale.
3 things, in order.
- Place it right. Insert the batteries, then set your scale on a hard, level floor, tile or wood, not carpet or a bath mat. Carpet throws off the electrical signal the scale uses to read your body, so keep it on a hard surface.
- Set up your profile. Open Unique Health, create an account, and enter your height, birthday, and sex. These numbers calibrate every reading that follows.
- Pair your scale. Step on with bare feet to wake the display, then follow the in-app binding guide. You'll see a confirmation once it's connected. You can check the status under Mine › Equipment Management.
-
Step 3
Connect your Wi‑Fi.
This is what keeps your readings syncing automatically, no need to open the app every time you step on.
- In the app, go to Mine › Equipment Management › your scale › Configure network.
- Select your Wi‑Fi network and enter your password.
- Wait about a minute while it connects. You'll see “Network configuration successful.”
One thing to check first: your scale needs a 2.4GHz network, not 5GHz. Most home routers broadcast both. If you don't see your network in the list, look in your router's settings for the 2.4GHz option.
-
Step 4
Take your first reading.
How you take a reading matters as much as the scale itself. A few small habits now are what turn today's number into a trend you can trust.
- Same scale, same hard, level surface, every time.
- Same time of day. First thing in the morning, after the bathroom, before food or fluid.
- Similar clothing each time.
- Dry hands and feet, with full contact on all electrodes.
- Stand still for a few seconds and hold the handle bar with your arms slightly away from your body.
This exact protocol is built into the Measure chapter, so every reading you log is measured the same way, and is comparable.

Step 5
Understand your numbers.
Your dashboard tracks up to 18 metrics. 3 of them matter most.
Fat %The number you want moving down.
Muscle massThe number you want holding steady while fat comes down. Most scales never show it.
WeightThe least useful number on the screen. On its own, it can't tell you what you actually lost.
Your dashboard also tracks:
Visceral fatFat around your organsWater ratioHydration levelBone massEstimated bone densityBMIHeight-to-weight ratioA note on accuracy: It has 8 electrodes and a handheld bar, the same configuration used in clinical devices. Like every home body composition scale, its strength is a consistent trend, not single-reading precision. Read the direction over 4 weeks, not any single morning.
The Measure chapter in each Orvi system reads these numbers as a 4-week trend, never a single morning. If you haven't opened them yet, look for the download link in your order confirmation email.

Step 6
If something's not working.
Most hiccups take under a minute to fix.
Usually not. Body composition readings shift a little day to day, mostly from hydration. If you're on a GLP-1 medication, the day or two after your injection often means less appetite and fluid intake, which can nudge a reading on its own. That's expected, not a fault in the scale. Read the direction over 4 weeks, not any single morning.
Confirm Bluetooth is turned on and your phone is within a few feet of the scale. On Android, also check that location services are enabled, some phones require this for Bluetooth scanning to work. If it still won't connect, close and reopen the app, then try pairing again from Mine › Equipment Management.
Double-check you're connecting to a 2.4GHz network, not 5GHz (see the note in Step 3). Confirm the password, and keep your phone close to the scale while it configures. If your router broadcasts one combined network name, check the router's settings for a way to split the 2.4GHz band out separately.
Confirm the batteries are seated correctly, then step on firmly with bare feet on a hard, level floor. The display wakes on contact, so a light tap usually isn't enough.
Weight is a simple mechanical measurement. Body fat, muscle mass, and the other composition numbers use a small electrical signal that's more sensitive to hydration, food, and timing. Following the Measurement Standard in Step 4, especially measuring at the same time of day, fixes most of this.
