The Withings blood pressure monitor includes a personal cardiologist.

The Withings BPM Vision blood pressure monitor features a color display, various cuff sizes, and the option for a cardiologist to evaluate your results.

At CES 2025, Withings introduced the BPM Vision, a connected blood pressure monitor that promises to be more accessible and reassuring. This innovative device not only features new hardware capabilities but also offers an unusual service that simulates having a personal cardiologist available, ready to review results and alert users to potential heart arrhythmias.

Unlike other blood pressure monitors, the BPM Vision has a modern and user-friendly design. Its high-resolution color screen displays blood pressure results as well as tutorials for proper usage and reminders to take measurements. Additionally, it uses artificial intelligence to provide immediate and easy-to-understand feedback. The device has a power button and three large buttons, whose purposes are clearly indicated on the screen, making it very easy to operate.

Withings' BPM Connect monitor offers a standard adjustable cuff, while the BPM Vision will be available in two different sizes to ensure broader usability. Users will be able to choose between a cuff that fits 9 to 17 inches or 16 to 20 inches. This device connects to Wi-Fi and synchronizes its data with a mobile app, capable of tracking information for up to eight people, with a battery life of up to six months. The BPM Vision also includes a convenient travel case.

Regarding healthcare, those opting for the Withings+ service will have access to a feature called Cardio Check-Up. This service allows a certified health professional to analyze the data and examine signals of more than 10 different types of heart arrhythmias within 24 hours of making a request. The benefits of this service include quarterly check-ups, no need for appointments, and the ability to complete the entire process through the app. Cardio Check-Up is also compatible with other Withings health devices, such as the ScanWatch 2 smartwatch.

The BPM Vision is in the process of certification by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is expected to be available in the United States in April 2025, with a price of $130. The Cardio Check-Up service will be managed by Heartbeat Health in the U.S. and will be included in the annual $100 subscription for Withings+.
