Withings

What Withings does

Withings is a French connected health device company founded in 2009 in Issy-les-Moulineaux (now headquartered in Paris) that designs, manufactures, and sells a portfolio of FDA-cleared consumer health hardware unified by the Withings mobile app and an optional Withings+ premium subscription. Its product surface spans four broad categories — smart scales (Body Scan, BodyFit, Body Comp, Body Smart; $129.95–$499.95) using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis with claimed 99% DEXA correlation and patented Position Control™ technology; hybrid smartwatches (ScanWatch Nova Brilliant, ScanWatch Nova, ScanWatch 2, ScanWatch Light; $249.95–$649.95) with 6-lead ECG, SpO2, temperature, and 30–35-day battery life; vital sign monitors (BPM Connect/Vision blood pressure cuffs and the FDA-cleared BeamO multi-sensor combining ECG, thermometer, pulse oximeter, and digital stethoscope); and novel form factors including the U-Scan toilet-embedded urine lab (Nutrio and Calci cartridges) and the Lingo continuous glucose monitor integrated under the Abbott partnership. The product is anchored by proprietary hardware IP (20+ patents in BodyFit alone) augmented by AI features — predictive scoring, generative AI health assistant, AFib/sleep apnea detection — operated over a 750M-measurement corpus drawn from 12 million users across 190 countries and 11 languages.

Withings monetizes primarily through direct-to-consumer hardware sales via its own e-commerce storefront and major retail channels (Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy, FSA Store), with most devices eligible for FSA/HSA payment. A freemium software model underpins the flywheel: the Withings app is free, while Withings+ ($9.95/month or $99.50/year) layers AI insights, cardiologist-reviewed ECG reports (Cardio Check-Up), readiness scoring, and habit modules, and is bundled with free trial periods on premium device purchases. A separate B2B arm, Withings Health Solutions, sells remote patient monitoring deployments to healthcare providers and health systems (e.g., the MedStar Health 'Signature' concierge medicine service in Maryland, 2026), using the same device hardware repackaged for clinical workflows. Strategic acquisitions of Impeto Medical (Jan 2022, electrodermal/SUDOSCAN technology) and 8fit (Feb 2022, digital fitness platform) extended the device and digital services surface.

The company is privately held and founder-led (Chairman Eric Carreel). It has raised approximately $115M in disclosed equity funding across rounds in 2010, 2013, 2020 ($60M Series B led by Bpifrance/Gilde Healthcare/Idinvest), and a €20M ($21.76M) France 2030 strategic grant in December 2024, and recently operationalized a US regional headquarters. Recent go-to-market emphasis includes flagship partnerships with Samsung (May 2026 Galaxy Watch × Body Smart bundle) and Abbott (Lingo CGM integration, Jan 2026), and product expansion into GLP-1 weight-loss monitoring (BodyFit, Jun 2026) and longevity-positioned clinical consumer hardware (Body Scan 2, CES 2026).
