Smart Mirror Omnia: Your Health in a Reflection
Paris, FranceMon Jan 06 2025
Ever dreamed of a mirror that can tell you more about your health than just how you look? Withings' Omnia mirror is here to make that dream a reality. This futuristic device doesn't just show you your reflection; it provides a comprehensive health check-up. By combining data from Withings' connected health devices, like the ScanWatch 2 smartwatch, the Omnia mirror gives you a 360-degree view of your vital indicators.
Imagine standing in front of a mirror that knows your body composition, weight, sleep quality, and even lung capacity. That's what Omnia offers. It tracks 60 different health and fitness parameters and displays them right on the mirror. But it's not just about showing data; Omnia also interprets trends and alerts you to important changes in your health metrics.
What sets Omnia apart is its ability to collate data and spot trends. It can alert you to changes in blood pressure, heart rate, sleep patterns, and even nutritional aspects. An AI voice assistant guides you through the data, answering questions and providing feedback. Withings envisions connecting users with healthcare professionals for virtual consultations that include easy access to data and visual assessments.
Eric Carreel, Withings' founder, sees Omnia as a tool for proactive health maintenance. By analyzing various health parameters, it offers a holistic perspective, helping users identify subtle health issues early. While Omnia is still in development and won't hit the market soon, it showcases features expected from Withings this year, such as AI-based health guidance and telemedicine efforts.
Even without Omnia, Withings' current products like smart scales, smartwatches, sleep pads, and blood pressure monitors offer similar health insights. At CES 2025, Withings will demonstrate a prototype of Omnia, joining other innovations like the NuraLogix Anura MagicMirror and the Amazfit HomeStudio.
