Withings has launched a new smart blood pressure monitor featuring a high-definition color display designed for simplified operation and enhanced readability. The device, announced today, aims to make at-home blood pressure tracking more accessible, notably for seniors or individuals with visual impairments.
High blood pressure affects nearly half of U.S. adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, making regular monitoring crucial for preventative care and managing cardiovascular health. The Withings BPM Connect-Hybrid offers a medical-grade solution for convenient, accurate readings, and integrates seamlessly with the Withings Health Mate app for data tracking and sharing with healthcare providers. This launch comes as telehealth and remote patient monitoring continue to gain traction, empowering individuals to take a more proactive role in their health management.
The new monitor boasts a 3.5-inch HD color screen that displays systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and measurement status in a clear, easy-to-understand format. Unlike previous models, the BPM Connect-Hybrid eliminates the need to look at a smartphone during measurement, streamlining the process. Readings are automatically synced via Bluetooth to the Health Mate app, where users can view trends, receive personalized insights, and generate reports for their doctors.Withings states the device has been clinically validated and is FDA-cleared. It operates on four AAA batteries and features a single-button operation. The BPM Connect-Hybrid is available for purchase now and is priced at $99.95.
