ScanWatch by WiThings

Withings has unveiled its ScanWatch, which has two types of heart monitors and an oxygen saturation (Sp02) sensor. The photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor continuously monitors the user’s heart rate and sends an alert if it detects an irregular beat. After sending the alert, the watch will prompt the user to take an electrocardiography (ECG) reading. Watch wearers can read the ECG on the watch screen or in the Health Mate app that stores the reading. The Sp02 feature measures oxygen levels continuously and also can help identify sleep apnea.  

The ScanWatch’s ECG feature is being reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration, and the company expects to get a ruling on the feature by the second quarter. 

The watch is not on the market yet.
