Withings

Connected health devices

Wearables & consumer diagnostics

Withings makes connected consumer health hardware — smart scales, blood pressure monitors, sleep sensors and multi-sensor devices like BeamO — paired with a companion health app.

The read

Withings sells a broad line of connected health hardware, from its original smart scale to blood pressure cuffs, sleep mats and its newest device, BeamO, a handheld unit combining an ECG, digital stethoscope, thermometer and pulse oximeter into a single at-home check-up tool. BeamO received FDA clearance and launched in the US in November 2025, after first shipping in Europe in early 2025, and has picked up multiple CES Innovation Awards.

Withings also runs a separate Health Solutions business supplying its devices into remote patient monitoring and disease management programmes for insurers and clinicians, sitting alongside its consumer retail business.

The Bridgehead view

Withings occupies the multi-device, multi-parameter end of consumer health-tech that single-metric wearables like Whoop and Oura don't cover, and BeamO's FDA clearance shows it's willing to seek genuine medical-device status rather than stay in the lighter-touch wellness category.
