Withings[1] is a French consumer electronics company.

History

It was founded in 2008 by Éric Carreel, Cédric Hutchings, and Fred Potter. Withings gained recognition for introducing the first Wi-Fi scale in 2009. It measures weight and fat mass and sends data to the user's app over Wi-Fi. [2]It has since developed products such as an FDA-cleared blood pressure monitor, a smart sleep system, and activity tracking watches.[3] In 2016, Withings was acquired by Nokia and became a division of Nokia Health. The brand changed to the Nokia name in 2017.[4][5]

Throughout its history, Withings has had venture capital funding, formed partnerships with companies like MyFitnessPal, and integrated with Apple's HealthKit platform.[6] The company continues to develop innovative health and wellness products and operates a factory in France as of April 2019.[7]

In 2024 it produced a new device, BeamO. This is a handheld "multiscope" with sensors to take health readings without being worn on the body. It can measure body temperature, heart health, lung health, and blood-oxygen levels. [8]
