The Withings company presented a universal medical gadget at CES 2024 – the so-called multiscope , which measures temperature, makes cardiograms, reads blood oxygen levels and works like a stethoscope to monitor the health of the lungs and heart.
The device itself, called BeamO, is reminiscent of some of Withings' other non-contact thermometers, but additionally contains photoplethysmography sensors, ECG reading electrodes, a digital stethoscope and an infrared temperature sensor.
What's most interesting, however, is that the company has managed to add a stethoscope to the mix, which uses a piezoelectric disc to pick up acoustic noise in your chest or back, and then transforms it into a signal that BeamO can read. The device also has a USB-C headphone jack adapter so you can listen to the recording before transferring it to the Withings app (you can also stream audio directly to your doctor during telehealth sessions).
All of these devices already exist separately, and the only novelty is that this time they are collected in a universal gadget that can be used for the needs of the whole family.
Some features have yet to be tested by the US Food and Drug Administration, but in a press release the company writes that BeamO is expected to be available in June 2024, priced at $250.

In 2019, Withings introduced the ScanWatch, which had ECG and sleep vital sign monitoring, but it was never released in the United States. In 2022, the company announced Withings Body Scan, a smart scale with ECG functions, but received permission only at the end of August 2023. Introduced last year, U-Scan, an at-home urine testing device, is still expected.
