Withings Health Solutions Unveils Cellular Gadgets To Eradicate Telehealth Pain Points For Healthcare Experts And Patients

BOSTON, Feb,26: Withings, an early leader of the connected health revolution, takes another step to narrow the difference between patients and health experts, introducing a novel business-to-business range of cellular-connected gadgets designed to eradicate considerable pain points of remote patient monitoring. The Withings Body Pro cellular smart scale and Withings BPM Connect Pro cellular blood pressure monitor considerably streamline the telehealth procedure by functioning straight out of the box, needing no setup, and automatically transmitting perfect, safe data to health experts. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for telehealth and at-home monitoring solutions. However, while technology is telehealth's driving force, it is often a barrier to wide-spread use by patients of all ages, tech proficiency levels and located in areas with limited internet infrastructure. Professional telehealth programs largely fail to reach their potential as product setups, connectivity requirements and the need for smartphones and apps often result in the breakdown of programs. Withings has more than a decade of experience creating elegantly designed medical-grade devices that fit seamlessly into consumer lifestyles. With features designed to encourage ongoing use, it boasts some of the best user retention rates on the market and is the number one smart scale manufacturer in the United States. Leveraging this expertise, Body Pro and BPM Connect Pro address specific needs of telehealth and allow health professionals to furnish patients with devices that overcome installation and retention problems, motivating them to continue use long-term. "For telehealth and remote patient monitoring to be successful for health professionals, they must have access to continuous, reliable and accurate at-home data that is collected, transmitted and analyzed in a frictionless, consistent manner," said Antoine Robiliard, vice president of Withings business-to-business division, Health Solutions. "Connected health products have a central role to play. For optimal results, they must be simple for anyone to use, drive engagement, take medical-grade measurements, be consistently used by patients, and must autonomously transmit private, secure data. Our new cellular range addresses these issues to help bridge the gap between patients and healthcare professionals and increase the effectiveness of their telehealth programs."
