Withings launches wireless BP
monitor in India
New Delhi: Taking
home health monitoring to a whole new level, French consumer electronics
company Withings has announced the launch of a wireless
blood pressure monitor for the Indian market.
Sleek in
design, the device features Bluetooth connectivity and Android compatibility,
the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Our
device is a medical device, but we've made it cool and fashionable! Patients
don't feel the need to hide it away and, yet, they get to share highly accurate
results with their physician," said Cedric Hutchings, Co-founder of
Withings.
"Designing
attractive and simple to use devices is the only way the connected health
revolution can become a reality," Hutchings noted.
With the new
device, users simply wrap the cuff around their arm and turn it on.
It
automatically connects with a smartphone via Bluetooth and instantly opens the
Withings Health Mate application.
By tapping the
start button, the cuff inflates and commences taking the users' systolic,
diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate.
Results are
automatically shown on the screen, saved and compared to standards for better
understanding.
The
application automatically graphs and plots curves to easily detect trends over
time. It also allows users to set reminders and send readings to a physician.
Available on
Amazon, the wireless blood pressure monitor is priced at Rs 11,999, the
statement added.
