Withings is one of the connected health pioneers, having launched the world's first Wi-Fi scale in 2009. Since then, Withings has launched a slew of digital health devices designed to empower people to make the right decisions for their health. The company's portoflio includes smart scales, activity trackers and hybrid smartwatches, an advanced sleep-tracking mat, and medically accurate devices for easy and effective blood pressure and temperature monitoring. Devices sync automatically with the free Health Mate app, where people can track progress, get advice, and share data with their doctors. By putting powerful metrics and actionable insights into people's hands, Withings has an opportunity to help manage or prevent chronic conditions by giving people the tools they need to improve their lives.
