Health systems are evolving beyond the doctor’s office

Countries aim to improve current standards of care for their populations while developing novel ways to treat patients with acute health conditions. This evolution has only quickened in the midst of a continuously shifting pandemic, and the result of this adaptation is the adoption of digital health technologies (DHT) and the care spectrum evolution. Although DHT has been developing for the last 20 years, the physical dangers of being together during a pandemic has sped up the need for doctors to be able to collect actionable insights and extend care beyond the office setting. The advances in DHT could offer integrated care for whole populations in countries across the globe while providing tools so that potentially, no one is left behind.

New solutions for new challenges

There are several examples that show how healthcare systems are adopting innovative pathways for DHTs. Three examples include:

     

      • As part of insurance benefits in some countries, employers are utilizing connected devices like sleep trackers and heart rate monitors to encourage employees to improve health indicators;

      • In 2019, few physicians in Germany utilized telemedicine platforms (virtual visits with patients via phone or online), but this year there was a 200% increase in some parts of the country due to the pandemic.

    These examples highlight countries’ need to find new ways to interact with patients and provide care within existing healthcare systems.

    The best-case scenario is when these three resources — digital therapeutics, remote patient monitoring, and telemedicine platforms — work together. This trio of digital health technologies and the care spectrum evolution can be used to assist a wide variety of patients including those who have for example, hypertension, diabetes, implant receivers, and or COPD.

    The ideal DHT Combination

    The European Respiratory Society estimates 15–20% of adults over 40 in Europe suffer from this Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). A typical patient, who we’ll call Maria, might visit a doctor every six months for routine COPD checkups, but collecting data biannually may not provide the information needed to see important health trends and anticipate potential complications. Rather than relying on these infrequent visits, COPD patients could access the benefits of DHT via digital care products to manage the disease.

    Firstly, this type of patient needs access to personal medical devices that can actively monitor health at home or on the go. The Withings ScanWatch is an example of a connected device that can monitor this patient’s oxygen saturation and daily walking distance multiple times a day rather than the typical protocol, which is to wait six months to measure indicators in hospital. The next step towards DHT solutions entails the bridge between patients’ data and medical providers. Combined with the care spectrum evolution, the backend integration of Withings’ open API allows Babylon, a telemedicine platform, to automatically and safely receive data that patients have authorized to be sent. Medical providers would then have on-demand access to the data and can adjust this patient’s medications accordingly while also monitoring the long-term effectiveness of treatment.

    In addition to the medical device and telemedicine bridge between patient and provider, using a companion digital therapeutics (DTx) for COPD could help improve patient outcomes. The DTx is clinically-validated, works with medications, tracks triggers that reduce oxygen levels, and helps adjust key behaviors to optimize overall condition. Due to the insights provided via the DTx, COPD patients can avoid taking walks on days with high levels of air pollution, lower the use of rescue inhalers, understand how to best exercise, and experience reduced dyspnoea episodes.

    The combination of device, telemedicine, and DTx is a suite of technologies composing DHT that can help patients and providers co-create care plans that help identify goals and well-defined actions to improve health and change key behaviors. While patients can still check in every 6 months with providers, with the care spectrum evolution, data is being delivered more frequently which could reduce hospital visits and deliver better health indicators.

    However, dumping large amounts of patient vitals every day is not the answer, which is why providers can enable a series of alerts that initiate a clinician review based on patient triggers revolving around personal conditions and health history. In this case, doctors only see the information that is needed, not daily dumps of data.

    Collaboration aligns with new guidance from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to enable real-time, remote patient monitoring (RPM) of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)

    Boston, MA – May 8, 2025 – Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including preeclampsia, impact nearly 15 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. They are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and are on the rise, with women having babies now twice as likely to develop HDP as their mothers. Today, Babyscripts, the leading virtual maternity care program for managing obstetrics, announced a partnership with Withings Health Solutions, a pioneer in digital health technology, to enhance its remote blood pressure monitoring offering with Withings' accessible devices— addressing this critical public health issue with more options for inclusive, real-time monitoring.

    As part of the collaboration, Babyscripts members will now have access to Withings BPM Pro 2, an FDA-cleared cellular blood pressure monitor that enables at-home blood pressure tracking. BPM Pro 2 introduces a first-of-its-kind feature, Patient Insights, which prompts patients to answer a short questionnaire directly on the device screen after taking a reading to gather critical information around symptoms and risk factors. This allows healthcare providers to detect early warning signs of HDP outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling timely intervention—particularly for women in underserved or resource-limited communities.

    “Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy develop silently but escalate quickly, which is why real-time home monitoring can be life-saving,” said Antoine Robiliard, Vice President of Withings Health Solutions. “BPM Pro 2 and our Patient Insights feature were designed to go beyond the numbers, capturing symptoms and context from patients at the moment a high reading occurs. We are proud that Babyscripts has chosen Withings Health Solutions to support their proven maternity platform. Using BPM Pro 2, they’re delivering a solution that’s clinically robust, inclusive by design, and built for the realities of pregnancy, when ease, speed, and trust matter most.” 

    This announcement comes on the heels of new guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) which advocates for personalized prenatal care, such as routine monitoring of blood pressure and alternative care modalities like telemedicine to improve outcomes for pregnant and postpartum patients.  

    “Our decade of research and clinical implementation confirms that positive outcomes are linked to empowering women to monitor their own blood pressure and share data with providers,” said Anish Sebastian, CEO and co-founder of Babyscripts. “Our partnership with Withings expands our reach and inclusivity by offering blood pressure cuffs that accommodate a broad range of body sizes and BMIs—ensuring accurate, equitable care for all patients.”

    While many women are educated about recognizable symptoms of HDP—such as persistent headaches or swelling—issues can often present without visible symptoms, making proactive monitoring essential for early detection and critical intervention. This was the case for Meredith Jones,* whose healthy pregnancy took a sudden, life-threatening turn at 38 weeks when she recorded several elevated blood pressure readings. Equipped with a Withings blood pressure cuff and education from Babyscripts, Meredith recognized the warning signs of preeclampsia and sought immediate care. She was admitted to the hospital and induced, ultimately delivering a healthy baby boy.

    Remote patient monitoring (RPM) with devices like those from Withings Health Solutions provides a practical, scalable way for providers and patients to manage hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). By combining this technology with Babyscripts’ virtual maternity care platform, the two companies are setting a new standard for maternal health—delivering evidence-based solutions that reduce risk and save lives.

    Our webinar on remote patient monitoring brought unique perspectives on the common barriers to activation, adherence and staffing, as well as a look at real outcomes—both at a health center and research level. Our panelists brought their experiences to inform a rich discussion about optimizing patient engagement, enhancing care and streamlining clinical operations. Highlights from the conversation have been summarized and detailed below.

     

    Dr. AJ Blood, Cardiologist and Associate Director, Accelerator for Clinical Transformation at Mass General Brigham

     

    Dr. Blood brought his extensive experience in Remote Patient Monitoring research to the discussion, as well as his experience as a practicing cardiologist in a large hospital system. He highlighted the long wait times patients may face for hypertension care, since care teams can be booked out for months and the urgent need for hypertension monitoring without the confines of a clinic schedule. The health outcomes his research has shown create a compelling argument for healthcare systems to integrate remote patient monitoring. But he also brought color to the discussion by highlighting the need for comprehensive, supportive onboarding for patients in RPM programs, because without it engagement and adherence can suffer. He also emphasized the importance of tailoring care to the patient for optimal engagement, finding a monitoring plan that makes sense for their schedule, as well as supporting them first in attainable healthy habits, and secondly in medication management when needed. 

     

    His experience in RPM programs that bill insurance brought financial insight that was highly requested in our question and answer section. 

     

    Julie Fraher, BSN, RN, ACRN, Edward M, Kennedy Community Health Center

     

    Julie brought a level of insight that can only be gained through on the ground experience in remote patient monitoring. While many attendees laughed as she detailed how her experience in RPM began in tears after being told to build a program from nothing, she now has impressive program outcomes that reminded everyone of the impact that RPM can have. Her dedication to meeting patients where they are at has led her program to adapt reading materials to encompass a broader population, increased the use of telehealth to address barriers, and has created nursing protocols for high readings that allow her care teams to provide care confidently. She provided operational details about how she staffed her program, and the positive feedback that her Chronic Condition Management Nurses have provided now that they have patient blood pressure readings right in their EHR, rather than needing to manually input them, and how RPM alerts have helped them to triage.

     

    For more about her program, Withings Health Solutions partnered with her team to create this case study. 

     

    Antoine Robiliard, VP, Withings Health Solutions

     

    Antoine provided a unique perspective from the technology partner side. His experience in partnering with RPM programs of all sizes gave him valuable insight into the common barriers that can prevent a program from being successful. He championed the patient experience, and the need for devices to be intuitive, sleek, and satisfying the consumer expectations that patients may have. He piggybacked off Dr. Blood’s emphasis on strong onboarding in RPM programs by detailing the benefit of a cellular device, rather than Bluetooth for greater ease, both at the beginning but also throughout the duration of a program. He also brought patient perspective to the discussion in emphasizing that patients do not want to use a product that reminds them of their condition, and highlighted the benefit that a sleek design can bring to clinical care.

     

    He brought optimism for the future of RPM by highlighting the potential for greater risk stratification by using combinations of metrics and trend analyses, which could provide care teams a way to triage patients and provide longitudinal monitoring.

    World Sleep Day, the annual spotlight on sleep health that promotes education, research and patient care, is being held on March 14. Withings is marking the occasion by highlighting the extensive technology development and research the company is doing to promote better sleep and more accessible sleep diagnostics.

     

    Because sleep affects so many chronic conditions - from diabetes, stroke and heart disease to obesity, anxiety and depression -  higher quality sleep is one of the few areas of impact that can universally change human health for the better. 

     

    That’s why the Withings team has spent its waking hours for the past several years developing and testing technology to improve global sleep quality. In September, Withings Sleep Rx was given FDA clearance as the first contactless device to aid in the diagnosis of sleep apnea, joining the Withings Sleep Analyzer, a device that is CE marked to diagnose sleep apnea in the EU. 

     

    Sleep Rx and the other Withings devices that use the same hardware are being used in major sleep studies around the world. Because the devices are contactless and lay under the patient’s mattress, they enable large-scale studies that would previously have been nearly impossible to conduct. Here is just a sampling of recent research using or related to Withings sleep devices.

     

    Cognitive Performance of Critical Shift Workers

    Non-daytime shift workers - like nurses, firefighters, mariners, military personnel  and transit drivers - have a 60% greater risk of workplace accidents. Using Withings Sleep Analyzer, which uses the same hardware technology as Sleep Rx, researchers were able to understand the cognitive impacts of different lighting conditions to develop a model for predicting performance under varying sleep conditions and time of day of the sleep.

     

    Results supported the utility of simple non-intrusive sleep monitoring via consumer sleep technology to estimate post-sleep work shift performance and safety during non-daytime shift schedules.

    How Many Nights of Sleep Data Do We Really Need?

    An article in JMIR Formative Research examines how traditional sleep assessments rely on short-term tracking (3–14 days), while a six-month study using Withings’ wearables and sleep sensors suggests this may not be enough. Researchers found that seasonal variations and long-term patterns significantly impact sleep health, reinforcing the importance of continuous monitoring to gain a more accurate picture of sleep behaviors.

    The Future of Sleep Research: Large-Scale, Decentralized Studies

    An article in Current Sleep Medicine Reports details how the growing adoption of wearable and nearable sleep tech is enabling researchers to shift toward real-world, long-term data collection. Ongoing studies using Withings technology are paving the way for remote clinical trials, enabling deeper insights into sleep disorders and their broader health impacts.
