I’ve written about other Withings innovations from CES in the past whether it was their thermometer from back in 2016 that could be placed against your forehead to read your temperature or their U-Scan toilet bowl attachment from last year. But this year we may have finally witnessed their greatest invention yet: BeamO. Capable of monitoring four different areas of our health in one convenient Tricorder like device.
Tom’s Guide explains:
“Withings is betting big on at-home healthcare with its CES 2024 debut of the BeamO, a diminutive four-in-one health monitoring device with support for Apple Health. Built to help folks avoid needless trips to the doctor, the BeamO measures body temperature and blood oxygen saturation while providing medical-grade ECG readings. The device also serves a digital stethoscope for monitoring heart and lung functions.
About the size of a TV remote control, the BeamO looks similar to Withings’ other no-contact body thermometers, just with the addition of three more health tools.
The BeamO monitors for signs of major health issues, including atrial fibrillation (AFib), blood oxygen desaturation, heart murmurs, asthma, COPD and more. Of course, the device alone can’t diagnose any of these conditions. But users can easily log their BeamO readings to share with a healthcare professional via the Withings app.”
For older people who might have multiple potential issues to worry about this invention could allow them to stay on top of monitoring their health while also giving them peace of mind.
Is BeamO the Greatest Idea Ever?
