(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press release
* Award-winning Withings line launches under the Nokia brand in summer 2017
* Updates to Health Mate App and launch of HIPAA-compliant Patient Care
Platform will help individuals and medical professionals achieve better
healthcare outcomes
26 February 2017
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.
