Press Release:
Withings Launches World’s First iPhone Connected Blood Pressure Monitor

This revolutionary new product created by Withings, dramatically improves access to BP measurements for users worldwide

Las Vegas, Nevada – January 5, 2011- CES Booth #3619- With hypertension affecting almost 25% of the world population1, blood pressure measurement can help to save lives. However, until now, taking your blood pressure required the use of complex devices with multiple manipulations, mathematical operations and data recording procedures. Self- measurement has been recommended by the medical profession for many years2, but no one had yet found concrete solutions to expand its use.

This is why Withings chose to rethink the blood pressure monitor and turn it into an attractive, user-friendly connected device.

With the Withings Blood Pressure monitor, measuring and understanding your blood pressure couldn’t be easier. All data is recorded and saved to the user’s secure online space for easy measurement access and retrieval through their iPhone, iPad or other screen connected to a user-friendly interface.

Self-measurement is made simple by the Withings Blood Pressure monitor. It improves the reliability of readings and offers the option to share them with relatives, healthcare providers or medical professionals.

Through the Withings API, specialist partners can interface with the platform to offer additional services, as Withings has already proven with Google Health, MicrosoftHealth Vault and numerous health & sports coaching websites such as DailyBurn.com, RunKeeper.com, FitOrbit.com, gymtechnik.com, aujourdhui.com, Strands.com, Danholt4mac.com, Jogmap.de…

Says Withings co-founder Cédric Hutchings: “Apple revolutionized the world of smartphones by making them user-friendly like never before. By adding connectivity to high-tech devices, we simplify their usage and enrich them with extra services. Our goal is to take the drama out of using devices that can promote healthier lifestyles for all. We have achieved this with our Withings body scales, and are now repeating our success with the Withings Blood Pressure monitor”.

The Withings Blood Pressure monitor only works together with an iPhone / iPad / iPod. The Withings Blood Pressure monitor, priced 129 euros, will be available from January 5, 2011 on www.withings.com
