Withings: Smart health-tech putting your health back in your hands

“We’ve seen a drastic change in the medical landscape. We see that people have a switch in their relationship with their healthcare professionals.”

Walking down the street, you’ll notice many people have swatched their classic Casio for something a little bit… Smarter. Interest in smart devices and wearable tech has grown rapidly since the pandemic, as our relationship with our health has changed and evolved.

Withings is a company developing some of the most technically advanced health trackers on the market. But it’s not all about smartwatches and fitness straps - Withings’ smart scales are state-of-the-art, and their pioneering urine monitor is one-of-a-kind. In this episode we find out about all three of Withings’ flagship products, visiting their HQ just outside Paris to meet mechanical team leader Manon Navellou and PR manager Thi Nguyen.

We also hear from Jon Hirschtick who explains why Withings has chosen to use PTC’s cloud-based computer aided design platform Onshape.Find out more about Onshape here.
