WITHINGS UNVEILS MOVE ECG, THE WORLD’S FIRST ANALOG WATCH WITH THE
ABILITY TO RECORD A MEDICAL GRADE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
Move ECG allows anyone to easily monitor their cardiovascular health and prevent
heart conditions through a sleek analog watch with a one year battery life

January 7, 2019 – LAS VEGAS, NV – Withings, pioneer of connected healthmovement and analog connected watches, today announced Withings Move ECG,
the world’s first analog watch to record an electrocardiogram (ECG) on-demand,allowing people to easily and affordably monitor their cardiovascular health at any
time and prevent heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Known for bringing Activité, the first activity tracker built into a traditional watch
design, to market in 2014, Withings is committed to creating beautifully designed
products that are simple for people to incorporate into their daily lives to monitor
their health and reach their wellness goals. Honored with a CES Innovation Award,
Move ECG embodies this mission by combining medical grade heart monitoring
technology with the popular connected analog watch design and superior battery lifeof up to one year, making it easy and enjoyable to wear and monitor health levels
from day to night.
Cardiovascular Early Warning System
Move ECG brings a new level of heart monitoring to the traditional analog watch with
its ability to take an electrocardiogram on-demand to help detect paroxysmal AFib,one of the most common heart arrhythmias. AFib is a serious form of irregular heart
rhythm that can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath and heart failure. It is also known
to be a major risk for stroke.
The NHS estimates one million people in the U.K. have AFib, which is both anindication of heart disease and associated with a host of conditions including thyroid
problems, viral infections and lung disease. The condition, however, is often
underdiagnosed as its symptoms are not always present and can easily be missed ifthey are not occurring during infrequent doctors’ visit.

“The ability for people to take an ECG in real-time as they experience a symptomsuch as palpitation or shortness of breath makes the Withings Move ECG a gamechanger,” said Eric Carreel, President of Withings. “While providing medical grade
measurements, the elegant watch looks nothing like a bulky medical device. WithMove ECG we have created a cardiovascular early warning system that can be worn
every day, can capture and record cardiovascular events as they occur and help
reduce the risks of heart disease.”
On-Demand ECG on the Wrist
Traditional ECG devices have long been associated with bulky, unattractive andcomplicated products. With Move ECG, users can still monitor their heart healthlevels through a discreet and simple gesture, without having to give up their stylepreferences or daily routine.
Move ECG includes three electrodes to ensure measurement accuracy. Twoelectrodes are discreetly integrated inside the main body of the watch, and the third
electrode is in the stainless steel bezel of the watch. When users experience
symptoms such as palpitation, they simply need to touch both sides of the bezel tostart recording anytime and anywhere.
After less than 30 seconds of measurement, Move ECG vibrates to notify users thatthe reading is complete. It then syncs automatically with the Health Mate app, whichdisplays whether the heart is beating in a normal pattern or whether there are signsof AFib. Additionally, users can find a detailed graph of long-term heart rate trends
and ECG readings in Health Mate. Data collected by Move ECG and visualized inHealth Mate can easily be shared with a doctor or healthcare professional, which canhelp assist with early diagnosis and prevention.
All Day Activity Tracking
Move ECG connects to the dedicated Health Mate app for iOS and Android thatprovides data, insights, scheduled activity reminders, set goals and manages
successes. It also connects with more than 100 third-party apps such as AppleHealth, Google Fit, or MyFitnessPal. In addition to monitoring people’s heart health,Move ECG is also packed with the advanced activity and sleep tracking features
