Withings is part of the French Tech 120

Withings, the leader in connected health objects has been selected by the French government to join the prestigious list of the French Tech 120. This recognition rewards Withings' fine history punctuated by a €53 million fund-raising campaign last July. While this has already led to the recruitment of dozens of employees in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Boston and Hong Kong, Withings aims to strengthen its R&D and B2B department in 2012. These recruitments will make it possible to develop a new generation of connected devices that will track new biomarkers and improve its monitoring solutions for users, healthcare professionals and researchers. This program is a genuine government recognition and will help Withings to invent tomorrow's health today.

The French Tech 120, the program for emerging world technology leaders

The French Tech 120 is a program dedicated to start-ups in the hyper-growth phase that offers unprecedented support to 120 fast-growing companies. Withings is one of the 40 companies selected whose industrial projects must go through a major R&D phase before they can be marketed.

Forerunners that have revealed the power of day-to-day health monitoring

Founded by French engineers, Withings invented the very first connected bathroom scale in 2009. The team quickly discovered that the simple fact of regularly and easily accessing vital parameters from within an application gave its users a new power: that of once again becoming an actor in their own day-to-day health.

Withings, a complete ecosystem for taking care of yourself... at home...

Since the launch of the world's first connected scale ten years ago, Withings has been committed to putting the best of technology at the service of prevention, detection and support for its users so that they can become the actors of their health and well-being on a daily basis.

Scales with impedancemeter, activity watches with electrocardiogram, blood pressure monitors or sleep sensor... All the connected devices developed by Withings measure and monitor more than 20 different vital parameters such as sleep apnea, cardiac arrhythmias, blood pressure, body composition, etc.

With its connected objects, Withings promotes user awareness, enabling them to detect problems related to their lifestyle, such as hypertension, certain cardiovascular diseases or sleep apnea, upstream and from the comfort of their own home.

Withings innovations have been the subject of more than 45 patent families.

... And transforming the relationship between patients and healthcare professionals...

These objects for monitoring daily life do not only give new power to those who use them: they also offer new possibilities to doctors, hospitals, researchers, who can have remote and regular access to precise data, enabling them to offer better, more personalised, more intelligent and more responsive care.

In 2019, Withings unveiled its B2B entity "Withings Health Solutions," designed to meet the needs of all these professionals and help them easily collect, visualise and analyse data from their patients or participants, while integrating into their own ecosystem and interfaces: doctors, hospitals, chronic disease monitoring programs, researchers.

The Withings connected devices have been used in over 100 research studies by leading organisations such as Harvard University, the Georges Pompidou European Hospital, the American Medical Group Association, Scripps Health and the Louis and Maximilian University of Munich, which is currently integrating the ScanWatch watch into a Covid-19 patient monitoring project.

... To conjugate medicine from the present to the future

Withings aims to invent a new generation of connected objects that will not only make it possible to track new biomarkers but also to couple the promises of artificial intelligence with the variety of data collected to predict and anticipate the onset of diseases before they occur. To better support healthcare professionals, Withings will strengthen the teams working on the development and marketing of solutions dedicated to them, so that they can better monitor, understand and treat those in need.
