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.
Jack Manners, Eva Kemps, Alisha Guyett, Nicole Stuart, Bastien Lechat, Peter Catcheside, Hannah Scott. Estimating vigilance from the pre-work shift sleep using an under-mattress sleep sensor. Journal of Sleep Research, 2024.
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.
Óskarsdóttir M, Islind AS, August E, et al. Importance of getting enough sleep and daily activity data to assess variability: a longitudinal observational study. JMIR Formative Research, 2022.
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.

Up to 30% of adults experience intermittent or chronic insomnia; 20% suffer from sleep apnea, although up to 80% of them are unaware and undiagnosed.1 Poor sleep and sleep disorders like Obstructive Sleep Apnea, have been linked to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, dementia, cardiovascular mortality, seizures, stroke, congestive heart failure, lowered immune response, and impaired judgment and reaction times. With such widespread prevalence and dire consequences, the theme of World Sleep Day 2025: MAKE SLEEP HEALTH A PRIORITY is an imperative.
Polysomnography, either in a lab or at home, is the clinical gold standard for measuring sleep health, but these studies can be expensive, inaccessible and difficult to schedule. They are usually single-night observations which rely on human interpretation of data and do not capture variability in sleep quality over multiple nights. Withings Sleep Rx is a discreet mat placed under the mattress which captures many of the same metrics as polysomnography with longitudinal, contact free monitoring in a real-world setting.
Sleep Rx is the first contactless, in-home sensor to aid in diagnosing Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This is measured and scored using the Withings Index. The Withings Index uses heart rate and breathing inputs (both sound and variations of pressure in the bladder) to calculate an estimated frequency of adverse breathing events per hour during the night. Clinical validation of the Withings sleep mat shows good agreement with polysomnography-derived Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) with high predictive performance (88% sensitivity and 88% specificity) to classify moderate to severe OSA .2
Sleep Rx continuously tracks heart rate with ballistocardiographygraphy (BCG) using a pneumatic sensor that measures the mechanical wave that each heart beat sends through the body. BCG has been validated against ECG and found to be highly accurate .3 Variability in heart rate can be used to detect sleep phases .4 Nocturnal heart rate is comparable to resting heart rate and is a good indicator of overall cardiovascular health 5.
The Withings sleep mat also incorporates a snoring algorithm which crosses breathing rate and audio signals to identify snoring patterns and differentiate them from environmental noises or a partner’s snoring. The algorithm has been shown to be 94.4% precise with a 75.9% recall 6.
In addition, the sleep mat analyzes movement, interruptions, sleep onset latency, duration, regularity, and efficiency. With a one-time set up, the mat automatically syncs data via WiFi with the HIPAA-compliant Withings API and integrates with the Withings Remote Patient Monitoring platform. Sleep Rx is available by prescription in the US.
The ease of use of Sleep Rx combined with its sophisticated and robust metrics make it an ideal tool for capturing sleep variability over multiple nights. This cutting edge technology presents exciting clinical research applications, opportunities to optimize treatment adherence, and the ability to enhance the precision of personalized sleep medicine.

[post_title] => Withings Sleep Rx: Allowing Sleep Specialists to Make House Calls
[post_excerpt] => New large-scale, longitudinal studies show that monitoring sleep for at least 14 nights at home with a connected sleep tracking mat, can reduce the 30% high error rate of sleep apnea diagnosis from the usual single-night, in hospital polysomnography (PSG) technique. This technology can identify which patients most need expensive, intrusive, and difficult to access PSG. Longitudinal data also detects variability of Obstructive Sleep Apnea from night to night which is associated with hypertension
