The smart fitness mirror proposed in this researchaims to provide the users with a platform to monitor their health and fitness status on a daily basis. The system employs a number of sensors to monitor the body mass index (BMI) and amount of body fat present in the user’s body. A weight scale consisting of four load sensors has been implemented to obtain the weight of the user whereas an ultrasonic sensor has been used to measure the height of the user. In addition, four electrode plates have been implemented on the foot weight scale to infuse a small amount of electric current (1mA) for BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) to estimate the amount of body fat percentage, lean body mass and total body water. An IR temperature sensor has been implemented in the research to measure the temperature of the user’s body from the forehead. Tests conducted on the system illustrate that it is able to accurately compute the body mass index and perform a bioelectrical impedance analysis on the user. The system is able to achieve a 92.5 % and 93.7 % accuracy in determining the body mass index and body fat percentage respectively. An accuracy of 95.3 % was observed in the determination of the body temperature.
