Withings, a global leader in connected health, has announced the launch of BeamO, a groundbreaking 4-in-1 health checkup device set to revolutionize at-home health monitoring. This innovative “multiscope” device combines the functionality of a thermometer, electrocardiogram, oximeter, and stethoscope, providing individuals and families with the ability to perform comprehensive health checkups from the comfort of their own homes.
The New Thermometer of the Future
BeamO is designed to transform the way we monitor our health by providing the capability to measure core vitals such as temperature, heart rate, blood oxygenation, and lung health on a daily basis. This crucial data will offer a vital overview of overall health and serve as an early warning system for potential health concerns.
A Powerful Health Scan in the Palm of Your Hand
Packed with advanced sensors, BeamO utilizes light waves to interpret blood flow patterns and temperature, as well as acoustic information. The device is capable of performing multiple functions in one handheld device, including blood oxygenation and heart rate readings, medical-grade ECG, and accurate core body temperature readings.
A Complete Health Record, Secured
BeamO seamlessly syncs with the Withings app through Wi-Fi, allowing users to create comprehensive health records over time. The app also offers new capabilities for tracking health stats, recording and sharing family medical health history, and managing medication usage and side effects.
BeamO is a versatile, handheld device packed with advanced features to monitor your health:
- Hand to Heart: Simply hold BeamO to check your blood oxygen (SpO2) and heart rate, along with a medical-grade ECG. It uses light and electrodes to measure these vitals, displaying them in real-time on a colorful LED screen.
- Raising the Temperature: BeamO also measures your core body temperature without touching you, by scanning your temporal artery. It’s an improved version of Withings Thermo technology, providing accurate readings even if you move or are at different distances.
- Hearing Health: Acting as a high-tech digital stethoscope, BeamO picks up sound waves from your chest or back. It’s easy to use with clear instructions, letting you accurately measure heart and lung sounds. You can listen to these sounds with headphones, share them through its app, and even stream audio during online doctor visits for better guidance.
Availability
BeamO will be showcased at CES and is set to retail at $249.95 in June 2024, following FDA clearance of its ECG capability.
With the introduction of BeamO, Withings is paving the way for a new era of at-home health monitoring, empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being. This innovative device is poised to become the new standard for at-home health checkups, offering a convenient and effective solution for monitoring core vitals and improving the quality of telehealth visits.
