Supporting Safe and Sustainable GLP-1 Weight Loss With Remote Health Technologies
Discover the latest innovations in weight loss treatment — and why remote monitoring solutions play a crucial role in ensuring safe and sustainable outcomes.
Join the leading digital health companies and health systems partnering with Withings Health Solutions.
Insights from Withings Device Users
We asked Withings device users about their experience with GLP-1 treatments and the biomarkers they’ve been monitoring throughout their health journey, garnering responses from thousands of participants.
25%
of respondents reported taking a GLP-1 treatment for either weight or diabetes management
What does this tell us?
Withings devices are actively being used to help people monitor key biomarkers like weight, body composition, BMI, and blood pressure while on a GLP-1 medication.
93%
of respondents have been prescribed healthy habits alongside their GLP-1 treatment
What does this tell us?
GLP-1 agonists offer a promising tool to help patients achieve a healthy weight. But supporting patients in long-term weight loss involves more than medication.
76%
of respondents reported their Withings products had a positive impact on their GLP-1 treatment
What does this tell us?
Providing patients with the necessary data to make informed decisions and maintain their progress is an essential strategy for fostering their active participation in their health journey.
50%
reported body composition as one of the most important biomarkers they were paying attention to during their treatment
What does this tell us?
Measuring body composition while on GLP-1s is important for assessing treatment effectiveness, monitoring metabolic health, preserving lean body mass, and ensuring overall health and safety.

"Ensuring safety and appropriate rate of weight loss is always a concern among healthcare providers who are remotely monitoring patients on GLP1 medication. Without having patients come into a physical clinic, there hasn’t been a means of checking health metrics, such as weight and blood pressure, in a way that they can be easily transferred into their electronic medical record for trending over time."

“Obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition that requires comprehensive care. GLP-1 medications are powerful tools in the obesity medicine toolkit, but they must be paired with lifestyle counseling and medical oversight for success & safety."

"Ideally, we want patients to lose adipose tissue and preserve their lean body mass. By measuring body composition, we can accurately determine if this is, in fact, occurring. If we see that pounds are going down but their body fat percentage is staying the same and their muscle mass is decreasing, we can modify lifestyle components such as their type and frequency of exercise and food intake, for instance."

“Regular communication and motivation are crucial to helping patients stay on track. The health data Withings devices can capture on a regular basis has helped our Care Teams better monitor patient progress and provide personalized care.”

"Our patients love the Withings scale because it's incredibly reliable. The body positioning feature helps patients know how to shift their body to get an accurate reading and it's great that the scale stores data so that even when it's not connected to the internet it still captures the data and sends it to our system once it does have a connection. Overall our weight readings are more accurate and we receive them more consistently since we've partnered with Withings."

Using connected devices to support sustainable weight loss on GLP-1s
Preventing Muscle Loss
Daily measurement and analysis of patient body composition allows care teams to observe patient response to GLP-1 treatments over time — and intervene to prevent unhealthy loss of muscle mass.
Combatting Plateau
Access to data beyond weight and BMI is key to promoting a more holistic approach to sustainable weight loss. It leads patients to focus less on specific numbers and more on healthy changes in their body composition.
Promoting Longevity
When care teams can see daily patient progress, it’s easier to determine which patients need additional support. Features such as Withings’ Health Nudges allow care teams to send direct messages, offering motivation that strengthens engagement.
Sharing Outcomes
With a suite of connected devices and a platform that observes key patient biomarkers during or after treatment, reporting on GLP-1 outcomes can be easy and consistent.

The Science Behind Measuring Body Composition
When it comes to weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) alone may not tell the whole story. Learn more about the importance of analyzing body composition and how Body Pro 2 provides the healthcare industry with the most advanced at-home measurements.
Patient Perspectives
“[My Withings scale] encouraged daily weigh-ins, identification of more clear lean body mass decrease, [and] increased focus on protein intake
and resistance exercise per HCP guidance.”
“I watch my muscle mass through the Withings scale. I don’t need my weight to decrease quickly, but I do want to keep or gain muscle.”
“I was fearful that I would lose muscle, and the scale helped me to monitor.”
"Daily reminder of weight, body composition, and BP (blood pressure) reinforced healthy eating and exercise goals."
