The groundbreaking blood pressure monitor streamlines clinical workflows, automates patient engagement, and enables patient-reported outcomes collection.
BOSTON, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Withings Health Solutions, the professional healthcare division of Withings, today announced that its BPM Pro 2, a first-of-its-kind cellular blood pressure monitor that integrates and automates many aspects of clinical workflows, is now FDA-cleared. Additionally, BPM Pro 2 has been named a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Digital Health category, highlighting Withings Health Solutions' unique position as a medical device manufacturer and a key innovation player.
BPM Pro 2 is now FDA-cleared to measure blood pressure and pulse rate in adults with arm circumferences of 9 to 17 inches (22 cm to 42 cm) or 16 to 20 inches (40 to 52 cm). BPM Pro 2 is a great leap forward, empowering care teams to scale remote patient monitoring and streamline operations by addressing a critical challenge in remote care: ensuring that patients take more reliable at-home blood pressure measurements under optimal conditions and empowering care teams with valuable patient-reported outcomes. It does this through an engaging, vibrant color screen that continuously educates patients on how to take the measurements correctly while also adding a new level of insight and precision.
A New Era of Remote Monitoring
Seen in action here, BPM Pro 2 goes beyond traditional health monitoring. It collects highly precise measurements while also introducing a new feature that enriches data with context from their daily lives thanks to the Patient Insights feature.
With Patient Insights, simple and customized questions can be asked to patients on the device's screen to capture additional information such as symptoms, medication adherence, and screening questionnaires. This functionality enables a more comprehensive understanding of each reading while also reducing clinical workloads, freeing up care teams to dedicate time to patients with the highest needs.
Its Patient Insights feature integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows, automates key tasks for care teams, and allows care providers to ask patients simple and customized questions. This device combines the power of real-time data capture with actionable insights, reducing the time, cost, and effort required for care teams to stay connected with patients.
In addition, the Retake Measure feature prompts patients to retake a reading if results exceed predetermined thresholds, reducing follow-up calls and ensuring measurement reliability.
By automating processes like symptom tracking, measurement prompts, and reminders, BPM Pro 2 significantly decreases the need for manual patient outreach, allowing healthcare providers to focus more on delivering quality care.
Elevated Patient Experience
BPM Pro 2 is designed with features that actively support and engage patients on their health journey:
- Personalized Health Nudges: Care teams can send customized messages, reminders, and motivational support directly to the patient's device, keeping them engaged and promoting healthy habits.
- Accessible Design: Bold text and a color-coded feedback system enhance readability, with results highlighted in distinct colors for quick and easy interpretation.
- Seamless Connectivity: The device syncs instantly via cellular connectivity, allowing healthcare providers to access patient data on Withings RPM or their own clinical platform. For patients in areas with limited cellular coverage, BPM Pro 2 offers fallback options (WiFi and Bluetooth), ensuring that no patient is left behind.
"We are thrilled BPM Pro 2 is now FDA-cleared, this device marks a significant advancement in remote patient monitoring," said Antoine Robiliard, VP of Withings Health Solutions. "BPM Pro 2 not only delivers precise, clinically meaningful blood pressure and pulse rate measurements but also empowers care teams with real-time insights and direct patient engagement tools. This milestone, along with the recognition as a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree, underscores our commitment to creating solutions that streamline workflows, enhance patient involvement, and set new standards for the quality and reliability of remote care."
