Biceps-On: Withings Blood Pressure Monitor for iPhone, iPad. LAS VEGAS — Maybe you’ve been eating too much fried chicken, or you’re just a neurotic health nut.

Biceps-On: Withings Blood Pressure Monitor for iPhone, iPad

Whatever the case may be, if blood pressure is important to you, there’s some iPhone dongleware for that. Withings’ blood-pressure monitor is a traditional strap with a dock connector at the end to plug into an iPhone or iPad. Launch the Withings app, tap the Start button and you’ll feel the accessory tighten around your bicep and slowly loosen up until the app gives you a reading of your blood pressure. During my demo here at the Consumer Electronics Show, I scored a blood pressure of 160/90 — pretty high, but expected because this convention’s pretty stressful.

After it took my pressure it gave me the option to look at my blood-pressure history in a 2D chart — nifty for monitoring progress. Withings is among a wave of new gadgets taking advantage of features inside mobile devices to monitor health anywhere and anytime. See Also: Photo: Jon Snyder/Wired.com.

Withings

It was founded in June 2008 near Paris by three executives from the technology and telecom industry: Eric Carreel, co-founder of Inventel, and Sculpteo, Frédéric Potter, co-founder of Cirpack (both companies were bought by Technicolor SA in 2005), and Cédric Hutchings. Withings designs Internet-connected devices and describes its products as part of the Internet of Things.[2] In July 2013 Withings received $30 million investment from Bpifrance, Idinvest Partners, 360 CapitalPartners, and Ventech.

De nouveaux objets connect?s chez Withings, vers un lifelogging ?

Pour rappel l’objectif de Withings est de proposer des objets communicants afin de simplifier leurs usages et enrichir leurs services. De nouveaux objets étaient attendus en ce début d’année. Withings a donc profité du CES 2011 à Las Vegas pour présenter un tensiomètre “intelligent” et une caméra de surveillance personnelle pour bébé. Dans la continuité de la balance permettant de suivre votre courbe de poids, le tensiomètre se connecte à votre iPhone, iPod ou iPad, mesurant ainsi votre tension et votre pouls. Toutes les informations sont ainsi transmises à votre compte personnel et peuvent être directement envoyées à votre médecin ou la personne qui peut suivre ces informations. Withing complète logiquement sa gamme de produit de santé avec ce tensiomètre qui sera à la vente d’ici la fin janvier au prix de 129€.
