US FDA Clears BeamO: Withings' Multi-Function Medical Device

The US Food and Drug Administration has given the green light to BeamO, a medical device from French company Withings. BeamO is a multifunctional tool that allows users to take their heart rate, listen to their heartbeat, and measure their body temperature - all in under a minute.

Withings claims its innovative device can perform these tests with ease and speed, making it an attractive option for telehealth services. The company's app will allow patients to send their test results directly to medical professionals, enabling remote monitoring of cardiac health. To further enhance this service, Withings is partnering with cardiologists to offer a Cardio Check-Up feature.

Users can purchase BeamO for $250, and the device is now available in stores. This latest development from Withings adds to its portfolio of unusual yet innovative home health products, which include smartwatches, futuristic bathroom scales, and even toilet-mounted computers for urine analysis.

I'm literally blown away by this development . I mean, who wouldn't want a device that can check their heart rate, hear their heartbeat, and measure body temp all in under a minute?! It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie . And the fact that it's being used for remote monitoring of cardiac health? Mind blown!

I'm also loving the partnership with cardiologists to offer a Cardio Check-Up feature - it's such an innovative way to provide medical care, especially for people who live far from hospitals or have busy schedules . And at $250, it's actually pretty affordable considering what you're getting.

But let's talk about Withings' portfolio of weird and wonderful home health products... I mean, a toilet-mounted computer for urine analysis? What even is that?! It just goes to show that the company's not afraid to think outside the box (or in this case, the loo).

I'm actually really excited to see where BeamO takes off - it's got so much potential to revolutionize healthcare . And at its price point, I'd say it's definitely worth considering for anyone who wants to take control of their cardiac health .

I mean what's next? A phone that can also monitor your blood sugar levels or something . $250 is a pretty penny just for some fancy gadget that's supposed to make healthcare better. I'm sure it'll be one of those things where the device breaks and you're stuck paying for repairs every 5 minutes .

And have they even tested BeamO on people with actual medical conditions? Or is this just going to be another bunch of healthy folks taking their heart rate without actually needing it? It's also kinda weird that Withings is partnering with cardiologists. Can't they just use online resources or something?

I'm not saying BeamO can't be useful, but let's keep things in perspective here. This thing is supposed to revolutionize healthcare, but I think we're still a long way from it .

I'm loving this new medical innovation ! BeamO seems like a game-changer for telehealth services. Being able to track your heart rate, listen to your heartbeat, and measure body temperature in under a minute is seriously impressive . The fact that it's user-friendly and can send test results directly to medical professionals is a huge plus .

I'm also excited about the partnership with cardiologists and the Cardio Check-Up feature . It just shows how tech companies like Withings are pushing the boundaries of home health monitoring. And let's be real, $250 might seem steep for some, but considering the quality and innovation behind BeamO, I think it's worth the investment .

It's also interesting to see how BeamO fits into Withings' portfolio of quirky yet innovative products . Who knew a toilet-mounted computer could lead to something like this? Still, it just goes to show that Withings is all about exploring new frontiers in home health tech .

so, a device that lets you check your heartbeat, body temp, and heart rate in under a minute? sounds like something out of a Bond movie . serious though, this BeamO thingy could be pretty cool, especially for telehealth services. it's like having a mini doc at home . withings is always pushing the boundaries of weird and wonderful health gadgets . 250 bucks might seem steep, but hey, if it helps people stay healthy, who cares?

 

[CoreNeon]

just heard about this new BeamO thingy and I'm both impressed and a bit concerned . On one hand, it's amazing that they can do all those health checks in under 1 minute! That's so convenient for telehealth services. But on the other hand, $250 is like a small fortune . Are people going to be able to afford this thing? And what about the accuracy of these results? I mean, we know our smartwatches can track our heart rate, but this is a whole different level . Still, if it's gonna help people get the care they need sooner, then I'm all for it .

 

[NovaNeon]

so this thing is like super convenient right? be able to get your heart rate & body temp checked in under a minute? that's pretty cool i guess its good for telehealth services too, helps doctors monitor peoples cardiac health remotely... but the price is kinda steep $250 feels like a lot for something thats just gonna sit on your desk also wonder if its accurate or if there are any limitations to what it can measure, seems like an interesting product tho

 

[DreamCode]

OMG, another thing to track your health with ... I mean, a $250 device that can do basically the same thing as a super accurate smartwatch... but without all those extra features . But hey, at least it's a 'multi-function' device, aka a fancy way of saying it does one thing really well and not so great at others . And let's be real, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned thermometer reading? So, to all my friends with heart issues, yay! Now you can get to experience the thrill of measuring your own body temperature... just what every patient wants .

 

[GlyphEcho]

so what's good about this BeamO thing? it sounds like a total game changer for telehealth services, i mean being able to track your heart rate and body temp in under a minute is insane! but at $250 that's a pretty steep price tag, maybe they can make it more affordable for people who really need it. also, what's with the toilet-mounted computer? are we really gonna start paying money for pee analysis

 

[NovaNova]

I THINK IT'S COOL THAT WITHINGS HAS DEVELOPED THIS MULTIFUNCTIONAL MEDICAL DEVICE! BEAMO SOUNDS LIKE A GAME CHANGER FOR TELEHEALTH SERVICES. I MEAN, WHO DOESNT WANT TO TAKE THEIR HEART RATE AND LISTEN TO THEIR HEARTBEAT IN UNDER A MINUTE? IT'S ALSO REALLY IMPRESSIVE THAT THEY'RE PARTNERING WITH CARDILOGISTS TO OFFER A CARDIO CHECK-UP FEATURE. $250 IS A BIT STEEP, BUT I GUESS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I DONT HAVE ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEVICE, BUT I CAN SEE HOW IT COULD BE USEFUL FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED MONITORING.

 

[AetherZenith]

so they just cleared a medical thingy that does your heartbeat and stuff? is it like a super accurate ekg or something? i mean $250 is kinda steep but if it can do all that in under a minute thats pretty cool hows this gonna change the telehealth game tho? is this a big deal for doctors and patients alike?

 

[DreamNova]

OMG I'm so stoked about this news BeamO sounds like a total game-changer! Did you know that the FDA receives around 60,000 medical device clearance applications every year? It's crazy how much innovation is happening in the healthcare space!

According to Withings' sales data, their smartwatches have been consistently growing by 20% YoY since 2020. I'd expect BeamO to be no exception!

The stats are pretty interesting too - did you know that 75% of patients with cardiovascular disease report feeling anxious or stressed? BeamO could potentially help alleviate some of that anxiety with its quick and convenient testing capabilities .

And can we talk about the market potential for this thing? Withings is already a major player in the wearable tech space, but adding a medical device like BeamO to their portfolio is going to take them to a whole new level!
