Antoine Pivron, Vice President of Health Solutions in the B2B division at Withings, highlights the clinical-grade connected devices that are changing the remote patient monitoring market. The equipment and AI-enhanced tools are designed to focus on personalized patient engagement and retention, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes. The data made available identifies trends over time, allowing for intervention when necessary, and is presented in a form that emphasizes prevention rather than reaction.

Antoine explains, "We are very well known for our connected devices, especially the weight scales. So we were the first company back in 2009 to develop a connected weight scale, and now we are the leader in this field, mainly in Europe and in the US. So I think we might have the broadest ecosystem of connected devices to be honest, on the market. So we have weight scales, but we also have blood pressure monitors, activity trackers with smart watches. We also have urine analyzers that we're going to launch next week, actually. We really do have a huge range of products that can be used at home to remotely monitor patients."  

"They're actually analyzing the trends over weeks, months, and they have an intervention when there is something that is not going in the right direction. So it's more about managing alerts if needed. For instance, in chronic heart failure, most remote patient monitoring programs, doctors manage alerts only. And for obesity care, it might be like coaches or nutritionists having a one-time a week or a one-time a month video call with the patient, and they're just managing the trends. So it's not about being in constant alert, it's about having more data to help them make the right decision."
