Withings Announces US Availability of its Connected Blood Pressure Monitor for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch



Withings combines sophisticated technology and design to transform an ordinary blood pressure monitor into an accurate health self-monitoring device



Paris, France – June 20, 2011– Today, French technology company Withings announced the US availability of its Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM) for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®.  This Withings BPM, including blood pressure cuff and companion Withings App, is a modern way to measure and record blood pressure readings in the personal and professional arenas. 

With more than 25% of the world’s population* affected by hypertension, Withings has combined advanced technology and sophisticated design to create a medical device that is visually attractive, accurate and easy to use at home, in a professional setting or on the go. 

Cédric Hutchings, Withings co-founder says, “Apple has revolutionized the smartphone and tablet market with both its design and functionality.  We have strived to extend this revolution into the field of health and fitness by integrating our products to work seamlessly with Apple iOS devices.”

The Withings BPM is truly a plug-and-play solution for blood pressure measurement and tracking.  Users simply wrap the blood pressure cuff around their arm and plug it directly into their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch using the incorporated cable.  Once connected, the Withings App launches instantly on the iOS device and is ready to begin the measurement. When the reading is complete, the full results (Systole, Diastole and heart rate) are saved directly on the device, eliminating manual tracking.

A user’s stats can be accessed instantly from their iOS device or from their personal Withings webpage.  Results are saved denoting dates and time of day for each reading, to help when comparing morning, afternoon and evening readings, and readings over time.  Results can easily be shared by emailing results to a doctor and/or using the device’s automatic sharing feature to sync with popular personal health record sites like Google Health™ and Microsoft® HealthVault™ – virtually eliminating the gap between patient and doctor. 


 
When used in conjunction with the Withings WiFi body scale, weight and blood pressure are tracked on the same graph within the app, giving users an at-a-glance health snapshot.  Both products bring together in one place two vital pieces of your overall health, which is ideal when tracking trends and early warning signs of health problems.
