Withings introduced the Withings BeamO at CES, a multi-functional device that combines a thermometer, pulse oximeter, EKG and stethoscope. All this for less than the average medical bill!
Can you imagine your home thermometer telling you: "Looks like you're hot today!"? No, this is not science fiction, but the Withings BeamO, the newest addition to your home health team. This device is not just a medical device, but a real AI doctor in a pocket version.
On the outside it looks like any thermometer, but inside it hides an arsenal of medical tools. PPG sensors, electrodes, digital stethoscope – sounds like James Bond gear, right? But don't worry, the only mission of this device is to protect your health. BeamO lets you listen to your heart without having to graduate from medical school. The piezoelectric disc translates your body sounds into electrical signals so you can "hear" what is happening in your body. And no, it won't tell you if you're in love.
It's like having a mini clinic in your living room. And the best of all? You will never complain about waiting in line or about the doctor being late for an appointment.

Of course, like any real doctor, BeamO must obtain a license. And the FDA isn't exactly the fastest in the field. So, it may be a little longer before this "doctor" is officially ready to go.
Withings BeamO is like your personal Dr. House, only without the sarcasm and mysterious diagnoses. Will this technological marvel revolutionize home healthcare? Time will tell. Until then, we can dream of the days when our living room becomes the most advanced medical facility in the neighborhood. BeamO from Withings is not only a step forward for technology, but also for your home health monitoring. And if nothing else, you'll at least have a great conversation at the next family dinner when you can say, "My new device just checked my heart and it says I'm in great shape!" Or: "Look how healthy I am breathing!" BeamO: Because your health is no joke, but your new favorite toy.
