Nokia has finally completed re-branding of Withings, the health tech company it acquired last year. The company had announced in February that it will relaunch all the connected health devices under its own brand later this year. Post re-branding, Nokia trackers, scales, vital health devices and home products will now be available in-store and online through top retailers.
Nokia has announced new Nokia Body, a BMI Wi-Fi connected scale, and Nokia BPM+, a compact blood pressure monitor with a flexible cuff. Nokia Body offers smart weight management and provides high accuracy measurements via Position Control technology, a patented body position detector. It comes with a weight trend screen that shows progress during each weigh-in. The scale offers BMI trend and data analysis. It recognizes up to eight users with independent sync. With the Nokia Health Mate app, users can personalize their goals within the app and track activity and food intake. Finally, the Nokia Body scale offers food tracking with MyFitnessPal.
