Barcelona, Spain - Mobile World Congress - The award-winning
Withings ecosystem of connected health products will launch under
the iconic Nokia brand in early summer 2017, including connected
scales, trackers, blood pressure monitors, thermometers and home
cameras, bringing beautifully designed devices to the global
consumer market. At the same time Nokia will also unveil a
redesigned Health Mate application.
Nokia's proven, medical-grade connected health products will
also extend further into the healthcare system through the launch
of the company's Patient Care Platform, enabling physicians and
patients to manage chronic conditions such as hypertension.
"Nokia is a powerful global brand that is synonymous with
innovation, connectivity and great design," said Cedric Hutchings,
VP of Digital Health, Nokia. "Withings joined Nokia because we
share a vision to inspire individuals to take control of their own
health. With the full power of a brand recognized for trust,
reliability and quality, we will reach more people and impact more
lives to help the human family be healthier together."
Redesigned Health Mate Application
Health Mate is at the center of the digital health ecosystem and
collects data from scales, trackers and other connected devices in
one place to provide a 360-degree view of health. Coinciding with
the product rebrand, the Health Mate application will undergo a
redesign for an improved user experience. The redesigned app will
make it easier to add devices, share progress with family members,
and will introduce new in-depth coaching programs. The coaching
programs will take users on an eight-week journey to achieve a
health goal along with personalized experiences to better manage
health and wellbeing.
New Patient Care Platform Brings Patients and Medical
Professionals Closer Together
Nokia will also roll out the company's HIPAA-compliant Patient
Care Platform designed to transform the relationship between
patients and healthcare professionals. The new platform will give
doctors and care teams the power to remotely monitor patients with
their smart devices to help prevent and manage chronic conditions
and drive timely and targeted patient care to avoid unnecessary
office visits and hospitalizations. The platform is being used by
the National Health Service in the UK in a 69,000-person study to
better understand hypertension and the role of remote monitoring in
lowering hypertension rates.
The new Nokia branded connected health devices will be available
early Summer 2017 via Nokia's website and retail channels including
Amazon, Best Buy US, Best Buy Canada, Bed Bath & Beyond,
Target, FNAC in France, John Lewis in the UK and Saturn in Germany.
The redesigned Health Mate application will coincide with the
rebrand.
