Connected health company Withings has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for BeamO, its new health checkup tool.

Dubbed the “thermometer of the future,” BeamO combines the sensors of an electrocardiogram (ECG), a stethoscope, and a thermometer to transform the classic thermometer into a tool to regularly monitor heart and lung health. It enables at-home measurements of vital indicators usually evaluated during medical consultations.

Withings believes BeamO will revolutionize family health and telehealth consultations, while conducting a complete health checkup of body temperature, cardiac, and pulmonary health in under a minute.

Two stainless steel electrodes located on its side let BeamO perform a medically certified one-lead ECG. Gripping the device triggers measurements on the animated color LED screen. It also captures the acoustic sound waves of the chest or back from a piezoelectric disc. Users are guided by tutorials to obtain precise measurements of the heart and lungs.

The results can be heard on headphones and transferred, stored, and shared with a doctor via an application. During teleconsultations, audio streaming lets the doctor guide device placement and focus on specific interest areas.

BeamO takes body temperature readings with a contactless analysis of the temporal artery.

This new teleconsultation standard leverages HealthLink, a secure feature integrated in the Withings app. It lets users generate and share clinician-ready web links from their health data, including detailed BeamO measurements. Cardio Check-Up further boosts the virtual care quality, providing a detailed cardiac health assessment conducted remotely by cardiologists.

“BeamO is equipped with highly innovative sensors, meeting the challenge of miniaturization to bring together so many functionalities in such a small device,” said Xavier Debreuil, product research director at Withings. “These sensors record the heart’s electrical activity as well as measure infrared light to interpret body temperature. On the other hand, they capture acoustic waves to study the activity of the heart and lungs. All the data is analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithms to identify anomalies.”

Earlier this year, the company released study results of its Body Pro 2 scale, which leverages a different equation to reach the body composition assessment to more accurately reflect a user’s physical condition.
