Withings Health Solutions Withings Health Solutions , the professional healthcare division of Withings, a global leader in connected health, claims to have set a new benchmark in heart health monitoring with the announcement of its BPM Pro 2. The company says the cellular blood pressure monitor is the first of its kind, collecting highly precise measurements while also introducing a new feature that enriches the data with context from patients’ daily lives. The Patient Insights feature streamlines clinical workflows by gathering critical information through the device such as symptoms and medication adherence which reduces clinical workload, freeing up care teams to dedicate time to patients with the highest need.
BPM Pro 2 measures heart rate, blood pressure and comes with the future capability to take a 1-lead ECG to detect atrial fibrillation (following FDA clearance). The device supports two cuff sizes (9-17 inches and 16-21 inches). BPM Pro 2’s full-color LCD screen encourages patients to take their measurements more frequently while allowing them to share patient-reported outcomes with their care teams says the company.
“At-home blood pressure monitoring has become a standard across the industry for managing chronic conditions like hypertension and heart failure but poses a real challenge in making sure the data collected is consistent, reliable, and actionable for care teams. Elevated readings may result from simple factors like improper rest before a measurement.
