heart health from the comfort of their home. On the other hand, our new BPM Connect was

BPM Core: The World’s Most Advanced At-Home Cardiovascular Monitor
Withings BPM Core is the company’s most advanced health device to date, combining stylish design
with medical data traditionally only available in a clinical setting. Along with blood pressure andheart rate monitoring, the three-in-one device measures ECG used to identify atrial fibrillation(AFib), the main form of irregular heart rhythm that is a major risk for stroke.
In addition, its digital stethoscope listens for heart abnormalities to provide early detection of
valvular heart disease, characterized by damage to one of the four heart valves that may require
surgical intervention.
People with high blood pressure are more at risk from both valvular damage and AFib, as multiple
clinical studies have found strong correlations between the three states. However, AFib is often
underdiagnosed because symptoms are not continuous and may be easily missed if they do notoccur during infrequent visits to the doctor, while valvular diseases are asymptomatic at thebeginning. The ability to monitor all three conditions in one device is a game-changer.
Within 90 seconds, BPM Core can perform all three measurements. Heart rate, blood pressure andECG readings with AFib detection are displayed on the device via an LED matrix, as well astransmitted to the accompanying Health Mate app. ECG readings, as well as stethoscope recordings,
are displayed within the app, along with a qualification of the ECG signal (normal sinus rhythm, atrial
fibrillation or inconclusive) and a potential detection of valvular heart disease. All data,measurements, graphs and recordings can be shared directly with a personal cardiologist andphysician.
BPM Connect: Combining High-end Design with Practicality
Withings BPM Connect, the updated version of the classic Withings BPM, makes it even simpler totake and view cardiovascular readings at home and share them with medical professionals. FDA
cleared and CE compliant, it provides highly accurate measurements of heart rate as well as systolicand diastolic blood pressure.
Unlike its predecessor, BPM Connect doesn’t require users to have their smartphone or any othersmart device around to view and interpret the results. Readings are displayed directly on the BPM
Connect via an LED matrix. Additionally, data from the readings will sync with the accompanying
Health Mate app via Bluetooth or WiFi, even when a device is not nearby. Sharing a design feature
with Withings BPM Core, BPM Connect’s display also provides color-coded feedback glowing green
for normal, orange for moderate and red for high blood pressure.
In addition to providing consumers with an easy way to monitor their cardiovascular health, thehighly portable design and ability to recharge for ongoing use was developed in part to allow
Withings to better serve the medical community. BPM Connect can be used by medical institutions
and care homes to monitor individual as well as multiple users, whether they are within the facility
or based in their homes.
