Withings just unveiled a feature that could take the guesswork out of a patient’s heart health concerns: the Cardio Check-up. It’s an in-app service with a Withings+ subscription that collects heart data through one of Withings’ proprietary wearables, shares that data with users, and connects them to board-certified cardiologists.
Within 24 hours, a cardiologist could answer questions and provide feedback on the data submitted.

So, say a patient is wearing the Withings Scan Watch and experiences arrhythmia. The wearable can identify up to 10 arrhythmias and connect the user to a doctor who can detect atrial fibrillation and begin intervention, according to the press release.
Get up to four cardio check-ups annually
Users can view specialist clinical reviews through the Withings app, and Withings claims that the data is managed with “the highest standards of privacy.” Withings+ members have access to up to four cardio check-ups annually if they pay the $100 annual subscription. Meanwhile, users on the monthly $10 subscription plan get one cardio check-up every 90 days.
The goal of such a service is to connect users to medical professionals, tailor healthcare to the patient and their heart health data, and empower them with answers, feedback, and context to better understand their cardiovascular health. Cardio Check-up is powered by Heartbeat Health in the U.S. and DPV Analytics in France and Germany.

Withings’ Cardio Check-up follows a growing trend within the wearable health tech space of translating the data collected from tech wearables like smartwatches and smart rings to healthcare professionals for actionable diagnosis and insights. In 2024, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 became hearing aids that facilitated hearing tests users could bring to their doctors for diagnosis. The tech giant did the same for sleep apnea detection on the Apple Watch Series 10.
