WITHINGS HEALTH SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES CELLULAR DEVICES TO ELIMINATE TELEHEALTH PAIN
POINTS FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND PATIENTS
Health leader makes remote monitoring accessible and simple with cellular-connected smart scales andblood pressure monitors that require no setup and seamlessly transmit data to professionals

BOSTON — February 25, 2021—Today, Withings, an early pioneer of the connected health revolution,
takes another step to bridge the gap between patients and health professionals, unveiling a new
business-to-business range of cellular-connected devices designed to eliminate significant pain points ofremote patient monitoring. The Withings Body Pro cellular smart scale and Withings BPM Connect Pro
cellular blood pressure monitor significantly streamline the telehealth process by working straight out of
the box, requiring no setup, and automatically transmitting accurate, secure data to healthprofessionals.
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 someof the best user retention rates on the market and is the number one smart scale manufacturer in theUnited States. Leveraging this expertise, Body Pro and BPM Connect Pro address specific needs oftelehealth and allow health professionals to furnish patients with devices that overcome installation andretention problems, motivating them to continue use long-term.
“For telehealth and remote patient monitoring to be successful for health professionals, they must haveaccess to continuous, reliable and accurate at-home data that is collected, transmitted and analyzed in africtionless, consistent manner,” said Antoine Robiliard, vice president of Withings business-to-businessdivision, 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, beconsistently 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 andincrease the effectiveness of their telehealth programs.”
New Cellular Range
The Withings cellular product portfolio is packed with the market leading features expected from acompany with tens of millions of users. Body Pro smart scale uses patented technologies to provide
highly accurate weight assessments and is designed to work on all floor surfaces. Additionally, Body Pro
has thoughtful design elements, such as providing the daily local weather forecast and weight trends, toencourage users to regularly step on the scale and build lasting habits.

readings in moments. Extremely compact, the cuff is lightweight and easy to put on and use, making it
