Withings BeamO makes home health monitoring simpler and more accessible, significantly enhancing the potential of telemedicine through the easy collection, synchronization and sharing of vital data.
Withings BeamO, presented at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, represents a significant step forward in the field of personal health. This device, following the evolution of previous products such as the Thermo smart thermometer, is a multiscope for home health monitoring, which combines different functions in a single instrument: thermometer, electrocardiograph (ECG), pulse oximeter and digital stethoscope. This integration of multiple tools into one eliminates the need for separate devices for each measurement, thus simplifying home health monitoring.
The Withings BeamO Digital Multiscope is an advanced tool that can perform a variety of vital measurements for up to 8 users. It can measure body temperature, heart rate, perform 1-lead electrocardiograms, detect heart and breathing sounds, as well as blood oxygen levels (SpO2). BeamO is also equipped with detection features for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, heart murmurs, pulmonary wheezing and desaturation. All this data can be easily shared with your doctor for more effective health monitoring. Furthermore, the device offers integration with Apple Health, thus allowing seamless and complete synchronization with iPhone, including heart, lung and temperature data. This feature makes the BeamO a particularly useful and versatile tool for personal health management and telemedicine.
The BeamO is designed for comprehensive monitoring of heart and lung health, using ECG to offer a comprehensive assessment of these critical areas. The BeamO ECG provides a single-lead reading, useful for detecting abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation. The digital stethoscope, integrated into the device, allows you to listen to chest and back sounds, evaluating heart and lung sounds. Additionally, BeamO uses an advanced thermal sensor to measure body temperature through a non-invasive scan of the temporal artery, ensuring precise and stable measurements.
The BeamO’s connectivity with the Withings Health Mate app not only allows for continuous monitoring of health data, but also offers personalized interpretations and practical advice. This app also allows you to share the data collected with family members and medical professionals, expanding the possibilities of using the device in remote health management.
From a user interface perspective, the BeamO includes an LED display and a joystick, designed to make using the device simple and intuitive, even for less experienced users. The device’s light weight and portability, along with long battery life, emphasize ease of use and convenience, making BeamO suitable for everyday use.
Withings’ BeamO, scheduled to launch in June 2024 at a price of $249.95, is currently awaiting full FDA approval. Once available, it will be available to purchase from retailers like Amazon, making this advanced technology easily accessible to consumers. With the BeamO, Withings confirms itself as a leading company in the personal health sector, offering innovative solutions for monitoring and managing health at home.
How BeamO works:
Data Collection: BeamO measures various vital data such as body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and provides ECG readings. It uses PPG sensors and electrodes along its sides to detect heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation (AFib) and blood oxygen levels in less than a minute. This data can be read on the device’s 1.9-inch LED display or checked later in the Withings app. Sync with the Withings App: All data collected by the BeamO is automatically uploaded to the Withings app via Wi-Fi. The Withings app, even without the BeamO, is a solid health tracking app that tracks a lot of data, syncing with all your Withings devices and a number of other health apps. Sharing Data with Doctors: You can easily share any health data with your doctor via the Withings app with just a few clicks. During a telemedicine visit, you can also stream stethoscope audio so your doctor can listen and guide placement. Integration with Apple Health: In addition to syncing all your heart, lung and temperature data with the Withings app, BeamO can be connected to Apple Health for a seamless iPhone experience. This feature makes it even easier to share data with healthcare professionals and monitor your health. Multiscope Support: BeamO can be used by up to 8 users, making it family-friendly. This allows vital data collected to be easily shared with doctors, improving remote health management and telemedicine. Availability and Subscription Withings+: BeamO is scheduled to launch in June 2024 for $249.95, pending FDA approval. Additionally, the Withings+ service unlocks an in-app health experience with daily support and exclusive content in areas like sleep, nutrition and activity. This subscription service offers the opportunity to create a healthy daily routine that lasts over time.
