Withings enters the healthcare services market with Cardio Check-Up

Imagine having your heart checked by a top-notch cardiologist without leaving your couch. Withings, the trailblazer in connected health, is shaking up the healthcare landscape with its Cardio Check-Up service.

This fresh approach marries cutting-edge technology with expert insights, giving people a simple, speedy, and smart way to monitor their heart health. Since its launch on January 7, 2025, this service has become a heartbeat away for anyone seeking timely, professional cardiovascular assessments.

How does it work?

Cardio Check-Up takes the pulse of modern healthcare by combining Withings' advanced devices with real-time expertise. Here's how it flows:

Seamless Setup: If you own a Withings ECG-enabled gadget — be it a ScanWatch Nova or the nifty MultiScan BeamO — you're already halfway there. Connect your device to the Withings+ app.

ECG Recording: Capture your heart's electrical activity in a snap. These devices are precision-engineered to detect the subtlest signals.

Expert Review: Within 24 hours, board-certified cardiologists from partners like Heartbeat Health (in the U.S.) or DPV Analytics (in Europe) review your ECG data. They're not just scanning — they're analyzing, diagnosing, and offering actionable feedback.

Routine Care: With a subscription to Withings+, you can access up to four check-ups annually. That's proactive care, no white coats or waiting rooms required.

"We're making heart health monitoring as simple as a few taps on your phone," says Eric Carreel, Founder and President of Withings.

Currently, the service is available in the U.S., France and Germany — with other countries to get it later. Hopefully, some MENA markets will be included in this expansion.

Why does it matter?

Heart health isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. Cardio Check-Up zeroes in on early detection of arrhythmias like AFib, which can otherwise sneak up on you like a thief in the night. Spotting these issues early can mean the difference between a minor adjustment and a major crisis.

And the kicker? This service is for everyone. No doctor's appointment. No hassle. Just fast, reliable results straight from the comfort of your home. For $9.95 a month or $99.95 a year, Withings+ subscribers are empowered to take charge of their health — on their terms. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The context

Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one killer, responsible for nearly one in three deaths. Despite this grim reality, many people skip regular check-ups, either from fear, inconvenience, or sheer busyness. Withings bridges that gap with a solution that's both accessible and reliable.

Powered by technology but anchored in human expertise, Cardio Check-Up embodies the best of both worlds. It's not just a gadget; it's a lifeline. This initiative underscores a broader trend — healthcare is moving home. Devices like Withings' ECG wearables and BeamO are not just tech toys; they're tools for a healthier tomorrow.

As Carreel eloquently puts it, "At Withings, we're committed to making at-home health monitoring easier for everyone. BPM Vision and Cardio Check-Up are proof that clinically accurate and actionable solutions can also be accessible."
