Withings also used CES to launch Cardio Checkup, an in-app service that is available now and is compatible with any Withings device that has ECG capabilities, such as the ScanWatch. In addition to alerting you to possible cases of atrial fibrillation, you, true to its name, check on you quarterly and give access to specialists through the app.
Do better
And that’s not all – I have several more days of meetings to go. It’s a strange time to see CES peppered with so much home medtech. The coronavirus pandemic has spurred a surge in digital health innovations, but 2024 has been an account-CNBC analyzed 39 public digital health companies and noted that two-thirds of them were in decline for the year, or even out of business.
The pullback could be related to the fact that consumers have decided, quite reasonably, that we could I don’t want to know that. It is much easier to monitor your cortisol levels than to do something about the conditions that produced them, such as quitting your job, or prevent fires from happening.
When I spoke to the Abbott representatives, I learned that I wasn’t the only one who was squeamish about inserting threads under my skin. (I’m still waiting for mine Apple Watch to track my blood sugar.)
However, I finally added and entered the Lingo at Pepcom. Under the watchful guidance of the Abbott representatives, I pulled up my shirt sleeve, put the sensor in the dispenser and touched it to my skin. It happened with a click. The sensation was similar to someone jabbing my arm hard with their finger – a slight sting, but not like a thousand needles of fire were going under my skin.
I connected the sensor to the Lingo app and wore it overnight. When I woke up this morning, I discovered – after one night – that I went hypoglycemic in my sleep I had the background of walking too much and not eating enough at CES! So much for not providing actionable advice. I will eat my words (and a snack before I go to bed).
