Healthcare companies from all over the world are showing off their newest cardiovascular offerings at the massive Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas. Based on some of the advanced services and devices on display, consumers will be gaining access to some potentially game-changing technology in 2025 and beyond.
Withings launches Cardio Check-Up, previews BPM Vision
Withings, a French medtech company known for its remote monitoring devices, has multiple new technologies on display. Cardio Check-Up, for example, provides users with personalized feedback from board-certified cardiologists within 24 hours. It is compatible with many FDA-approved Withings devices, including its smart watches and the Body Scan smart scale, and uses electrocardiogram data to evaluate patients for a number of potential cardiovascular complications. Users gain access to up to four personalized check-ups per year.
The company’s other new-look cardiovascular offering is BPM Vision, which was designed to help even the most inexperienced patients capture their own blood pressure measurements. It includes on-screen tutorials, interchangeable arm cuffs and the ability to track up to eight different users at once.
Withings officially launched Cardio Check-Up on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the first day of CES 2025. BPM Vision is expected to be available by April 2025, pending clearance from the FDA.
“At Withings, we are committed to advancing at-home health monitoring, making it simpler for everyone to take control of their cardiovascular health,” Eric Carreel, founder and president of Withings, said in a statement.
