Withings Introduces Body Pro 2, an Rx Device for Early Detection of DPN*
Smart Scales have traditionally been used by consumers to track their personal wellness metrics. However, Withings saw an opportunity to use highly sophisticated technologies in an at-home setting that provide critical data for providers to make more timely and informed care decisions. Body Pro 2 is that type of technology – a scale that adds both nuance and robustness to at-home health management and has the potential to improve the early detection of diabetic peripheral neuropathies (DPN).
Pioneering Real Change in Diabetes Care
Up to 70% of people with diabetes will be affected by diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and nearly half have no symptoms to alert them that it’s happening. This often silent condition increases the risk of foot ulcers and potential amputations. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers have a two-fold greater increase in mortality.
