Customer Ratings & Reviews

For how expensive it is, it doesn't do a whole lot. And what it does, it doesn't do great. Just get a smart watch and a digital thermometer. Btw the O2 sensor isn't approved for the US and is currently disabled.

After receiving the first shipment it was a disappointment, but I want to thanks 1 800 for help me send it me a new device.

Excellent all in one device to monitor health. I appreciate all the features offered in one compact design. I used to rely on a smart watch for heart health but switched brands and I can no longer check my ecg. This unit solved this and added functionality I didn’t have previously. One thing I will note about the ecg is the importance of remaining still as the slightest movement seemed to make my reading bounce around a bit. I simply used it at my kitchen stable so I could have some stability and the measurement was fine. The stethoscope is a nice feature but I will admit with kids in the house, it may be a little difficult to use as it will pick up on the background noise. I simply waited until the kids were asleep and made sure to have the TV turned off and it did a fine job at hearing my heartbeat. As for the thermometer, pretty simple to use. Run it from the center of your forehead to just above your ear and you will get your reading. Compared it to other thermometers I have and it was close to what the others said as each had their own reading. Now one thing to note is the app does not suggest if there are any issues with you ecg or stethoscope readings. If you are looking for insight into your readings you will need to sign up for a subscription service. The turn around time on the readings is pretty quick within a few hours. You can sign up for a free trial to try it out. But because of the reliance of the subscription service I feel the need to give it 4 stars as someone may purchase it not realizing they will have to get a subscription. Besides that, everything about this product is great.

In all my years of reviewing teach here on Best Buy, this was the first item my wife requested that I get and try out because she was professionally interested in it; she's a medical doctor. She stated that while it wasn't anything that she would ever use in the clinic but wanted to see if this could be a good tool for her to recommend for her patients in addition to being a useful tool for us at home. Let me first say that Withings definitely makes things easy to set up from the get-go. Charging was simple and fast (it was already at about 75% out of the box), and I had it connected to the app within seconds. Once connected though, it DID begin to feel like Withings was asking for A LOT of access to data. Granted, with their selection of health tools in addition to the BeamO (their health monitor watch and weight scale), this can be understandable, but as a lone product I almost felt like it was getting intrusive. I then had to take a step back and ask, 'Am I the target demographic for this device?' The answer to that is probably no. I am in generally very good health with no chronic conditions other than a little arthritis. The BeamO is not intended as just a fancy thermometer or something like that. It's tools, especially combined with their other offerings or paired with one of the many health devices it can interface with, are more intended for use by someone who either wants a lot of health data to help make changes, or who needs to track a particular health problem. It could also be useful for someone who is worried about a loved one and would like a tool that they can have that person use so that they can monitor their health remotely. The three tools that the BeamO gives you to help monitor your health are a thermometer, a single lead ECG, and a digital stethoscope. Since I have a live in doctor, so I'll add a bit of her commentary on each. Thermometer: The easiest to use and very accurate. A quick wave over the forehead by either yourself or another person, gives consistently good data. It does its job unobtrusively and can be done without disturbing the measured individual if needed. While good, it's NOT a reason in and of itself to get the BeamO. ECG: Again, Withings makes it incredibly easy to take a good single-lead ECG with little training or monitoring needed. I keep stressing that this is a single-lead and that is important in that it can tell if something major is happening with your heart, but that is about it. It will let you know that you need further intervention by a physician and a complete ECG (which normally uses 12 leads). The first time you use this, Withings sends the data off to a contracted physician to check it out prior to showing you the data. This may sound weird and/or intrusive, but it is smart medicine for Withings. First, you need to be sure you have a good ECG, but that there isn't anything already of concern with that baseline measurement. Withings doesn't want people to base serious medical decisions off of data which should be properly address from the start by a physician. Mine came back as approved after about 36 hours and my wife said it was a very good ECG. Again, it would be more of use of tracking or alerting you to a new problem and not diagnostic like a twelve-lead would be. Stethoscope: This was the most problematic of all the tools. The stethoscope is such a simple, yet elegant device that it takes a VERY high-end piece of electronic equipment to give equivalent results to the analog device. The BeamO is NOT that piece of equipment. Both she and I did repeated recordings of both lung and heart function, both self-administered and done by the other person, and it was VERY HARD to get useable recordings if you were to send these to a physician (and really, if you are not medically trained, this data will be useless to you). We were only able to get a decent recording of the heart in the Tricuspid and Mitral areas, and even that required a delicate and steady hand. The Aortic and Pulmonary areas consistently were marred by noise from both the device and from the lungs. As for the lung recordings, we were NEVER able to get a useable recording using the areas of the front of the body that a lone person would be able to test. While the recordings taken by another person using the back areas were slightly clearer, they were nothing that my wife as a physician would base ANY decision off of or even consider them to be a good reading. For a lone individual who isn't even handing this data off to an expert, the stethoscope is an appendix to this device, in that it is relatively useless. All-in-all the Withings BeamO is an impressive device with some very good and easy to use diagnostic tests available. If you are also in the Withings 'eco-system' and have their other devices, this will help round out your data set and complete your health picture. Unfortunately, I do not have those other devices, and as a stand-alone device, I can't really recommend the BeamO to most people. For me, the best-case use is going to be taking this home when I see my mother so that she can easily take readings of her ECG and send them to my wife and I so we can keep an eye on her a bit. The BeamO is so easy to use that it will be simple to explain there (and re-explain over the phone) how to use the device. The App also does a very good job of making it easy to record/share data. I'm giving the BeamO four stars because it IS an impressive piece of equipment that could be very useful in the right hands/scenario, but it is not for everyone.

Since this serves multiple purposes it turns out it's a good replacement for those multiple devices. I found the thermometer feature on par with another touchless thermometer we've been using in our family. The stethoscope is also nice though, as others have noted, you need to be in near complete silence otherwise don't bother. The EKG is good but the verification process is questionable as to why it's really needed. Other wearables that I've owned or own and that have an EKG function don't make the user go through this if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if it's a regulatory issue or what but I guess Wtihings had no choice in the matter. Battery life in my limited testing seems great - this is not something you will be using on an ongoing basis day in and day out - I imagine you only use it when you need it, meaning when you or someone in your family is ill and you need to check these parameters. So, the device will probably be in a kind of standby mode most of the time and if the battery doesn't drain in this mode then that's a good thing.

Most features require subscription. Device is nearly useless without it.

I applaud the efforts of weddings to create such a device and make it easy to use; however, has someone quite familiar with healthcare technology these products are very difficult to make useful or simple. The BMO device is light And stylish. It has an internal battery and a nice fairly easy to use Screening with a circular directional ring and central button. The device is designed for auscultation. (listening to heart or lungs A primitive stethoscope) a single lead rudimentary, EKG, and forehead temperature. They set up, had a few confusing steps and poorly designed screens. The day after I set the device up, there was an update to the Withings app, and there seem to be several improvements. The app attempts to integrate the data from this product along with an interface to smart phone health applications, and your other devices from the same vendor. According to the product guide. while the physical device does include a sensor for pulse ox symmetry, it is not currently available in the United States model or software. The product guide is quite detailed and much more professional than some of the inexpensive single used sensors. You may find available on online marketplace. The documentation and specifications of the unit are quite detailed, and it is obvious that they consulted medical professionals in the development of the documentation and product. I will briefly comment on the three main functions. One end of the tubular device is an infrared sensor designed for. in the development of the documentation and product. I will briefly comment on the three main functions. One end of the tubular device is a infrared sensor designed for forehead skin temperature. It seems to be reasonably accurate, but as all forehead or skin temperature sensors may be less accurate than oral or rectal thermometers. Serial data from temperature readings may be quite useful in documenting or sharing a course of a febrile illness with your physician. The second use is a single lead two finger contact EKG. This seems to work fine but a single lead EKG is a limited usefulness. There is no internal analysis or commentary in the app or on the unit. At this time this seems inferior to my smart watch EKG function. This would also be inferior to multi lead devices that can be purchased, but does seem to function fine and as well integrated with the application. The final function is the digital stethoscope. The end of the unit has a diaphragm and an oval shape and surface area, which is less than a typical stethoscope. There are precise and well written suggestions on how to position and utilize the device for 15 second recordings over the heart and lungs. While you can occasionally get a clear signal or recording of the heart or lungs there are many issues with noise. The recordings can be played back through the app or sent to a physician. There’s also included a USB-C to analog headphone jack to allow for live listening of the digital stethoscope. This did function although most people no longer have analog headphones, easily available and one was not included.

With everything going on right now as a new parent, the Withings BeamO is honestly perfect for my family and me. It's basically like going to the clinic but having it right in your pocket. I've never really been the type to worry about sudden fevers or abnormal breathing patterns, but as I get older and with a 5-month-old now, the worry starts to creep up a little bit more. Having a device that can track multiple health metrics so easily is a huge plus for me. To be frank, the thermometer part isn't anything too crazy to rave about. You can pick up a contactless thermometer for a lot less money at any drug store, so that's not really a huge selling point for me. The digital stethoscope, ECG, and pulse oximeter are what really set this device apart from everything else on the market and make it worth having around. Being able to check oxygen levels and heart rhythm (ECG) in about 30 to 60 seconds just by holding the device is huge. But the coolest part is definitely the digital stethoscope. It actually lets you listen to and record heart and lung sounds. I haven't had to use it for a real emergency yet, but knowing I can record those sounds and send them straight to our pediatrician through the app is a massive weight off my shoulders. If we’re ever doing a telehealth visit, I can even stream the audio live so the doctor can hear exactly what’s going on in real-time. You do have to get approval before using the ECG feature which took me I believe less than 24 hours to obtain. The setup through the Withings app was simple, and it supports up to 8 different profiles, so my wife and I have our own tracking alongside our little guy. The battery life is also insane. It’s supposed to last up to 8 months on a single charge, so I never have to worry about it being dead when I actually need to use it. Overall, it’s a good investment into my families health, and for the information it gives you as a parent, it’s 100% worth it. It’s compact, easy to use, and helps us make informed decisions instead of just guessing. It's the kind of tech that actually feels useful for a family of three trying to navigate the first year. It also comes with a cool orange case.

The Withings BeamO is lightweight and compact. It was easy to set up through the Withings app. It comes with a case, instruction manual, a short USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack converter. The BeamO is simple to operate and has an easy-to-read color display. The display has an auto-rotate feature that allows you to read it depending on how it is being held. The Withings app has demos to guide you through each of the features that the BeamO offers. The contactless thermometer was easy to use. It is just a quick scan across the forehead and in a matter of seconds, the BeamO will vibrate to indicate that your temperature is ready to view. I found the temperature to be accurate and was comparable to the reading that I got on my ear thermometer. The BeamO has an integrated ECG where you place your index fingers on small metal contact points on the side of the device. The ECG takes about 30 seconds to complete. I signed up for the free 1-month Withings+ subscription that is included with the BeamO allowing me to submit my ECG to a cardiologist for review. Results came back the next day. There is also a stethoscope on the bottom of the BeamO that allows you to listen to your heartbeat and lungs with a set of headphones connected to the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack converter. The screen will guide you on where to press the BeamO against your chest and back to listen. The room will need to be quiet to get accurate readings. The readings can be recorded and shared through the Withings app. The BeamO has a rechargeable battery, and it only took about an hour to charge. Battery life looks like it is going to be excellent. After a week, the battery is still at 100%. Overall, the Withings BeamO is excellent. It is accurate, lightweight, portable and easy to use. Highly recommended.

The Withings BeamO is a compact and easy to use home medical diagnostic device that captures temperature, ECG, and heart/Lung stethoscope recordings. Its small size makes it easy to transport, in the medical cabinet, travel around in your go bag. The rechargeable battery ensures that it is always ready for use when you need it most. Let’s get into some details. Setup: Setting requires a mobile device with the Withings app loaded and active. The Withings app will find the BeamO device, setup a Bluetooth connection with your mobile device, setup an account with Withings, and setup the BeamO to connect directly with your Wi-Fi network. Setup took about five minutes total. It will take longer if the BeamO requires a software update. EGC: The scan is easy to perform. Select ECG on the BeamO, click start, sit still, place an index finger on each sensor on the side of the BeamO, and wait 30 seconds while the scan is performed. Once done, the scan will upload to the app where it can be viewed. The graph for all of my EGCs were crazy wiggle waggles until the sensor stabilized and provided a more accurate, consistent graph. I found the best results were achieved when sitting, legs uncrossed and touching the floor, and arms at rest on my lap or on a table. EGC, for some reason, is locked until the measurement is reviewed by a qualified medical professional. Withings does this automatically for you. However, there is no justification provided by Withings as to why this step is either important or mandatory. This means that you will not be able to read your EGC, or take a second EGC, until after this unlocking step is complete. For me, this took about 24 hours. Temperature: The temperature probe is probably the most useful and immediate tool of the BeamO. Using the BeamO’s D-pad, chose temperature from the menu, point the probe end at your forehead, and scan from center of your forehead to your temple. The BeamO will vibrate when the scan is complete. The temperature is immediately available on the LCD screen. The scan is touchless. And it can be taken from up to a foot away from your head. The results are uploaded into the app for easy review later. Stethoscope: The stethoscope is my favorite feature of the BeamO. First, the BeamO ships with a USB C to stereo adapter. The BeamO has a USB C port on the side which is used for charging and the connection of either USB C connected headphones or wired headphones via use of the included dongle. The headphones are not required. But it is fun listening to your own heart and lungs in real time. Using the BeamO’s d-pad, select either heart or lungs setting on the BeamO, place the Stethoscope end of the BeamO to the spot on your chest or back indicated on the BeamO’s LCD display, and press down on the d-pad to start the 15 second recording. The recording is then uploaded to the Withings app where it will be available for review at your earliest convenience. The recording can also be shared with your family, doctor, or not shared at all. I do have two concerns with the stethoscope. First, the stethoscope only runs for 15 seconds before turning off. If I am not recording, then the BeamO simply times out and pushes me back to the top menu where I am asked what test I want to conduct. What a pain. There are times where I just want to use the stethoscope in unlimited free mode. Why? Well, that is my business. My point is that the BeamO could be used in a more free form method. But it does not. I hope that Withings corrects this behavior to allow for an unlimited free roaming stethoscope mode. After all, a traditional stethoscope can be used in this manner all day every day. The difference is that the BeamO is more convenient and my ear buds and headphones are infinitely more comfortable. Second, during heart and lung recordings, the BeamO continues to flash noise warnings. I find this strange because I use the BeamO in a quiet room, sitting, and mostly immobile. I did not hear any excessive noise on the recordings. Maybe it’s a bug? Withings Application: The best way I can describe the Withings is plagued with noisy screens. The Home screen, once all the messages, videos, and other noise is tamped down, provides a quick access to the metrics captured by the BeamO and other Withings’ products you may own. The other screens are a maze of articles, sharing features, user preferences, and selectable boxes that activate the Withings+ subscription features. There is also a link to AI assistant that acts as an AI health and longevity coach. I had a brief conversation with the AI to determine what it can and cannot do. First, it does not provide medical advice. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen stating as much. Second, all conversations must be user initiated. This means that the AI will not proactively monitor your data uploads and let you know if it finds anything odd. Nor will it proactively provide insights or life style change suggestions. These are functions reserved for the Withing+ paid subscription. My data uploaded to the Withings Platform is available to the AI coach. And the AI will access the data as part of my consultation session. I did not get very far with the AI in the last few days. This is mostly because of the limited dataset I have captured up to this point. Sharing: What good is this device if it cannot be used by the whole family? Right? Thankfully the BeamO allows for multiple users, selectable from the BeamO’s LCD screen via the d-pad. There is also a Guest option on the user screen. Additional profiles can be added to the BeamO as long as your family member also has the Withings app installed on their mobile device. Adding a user is easy. As the primary user, I can send out invitations from the Withings app via text to my family member. They click on the link, download the app, activate the invitation, and off they go. The Withings app will also allow me to share my data with my PCP or my family members. I can send out an invite to view my data. I can also compile my data into a PDF report. This could be very helpful if I want to carry a hardcopy of my data to my PCP or other doctor. I can also share all my reports and recordings with my doctor in person using my cell phone. Conclusion: The BeamO is a neat little device. It does a log for such a small, portable package. I found the ECG easy to administer. Taking a temperature has never been easier. And the guided heart and lung recordings are easy to capture and share. Overall, I found the BeamO to be another wonderful addition to Withings growing catalog of home medical diagnostic devices. Final thought, I would love to see a free stethoscope mode that allowed me to use the stethoscope feature without limit. I can think of all kinds of useful scenarios for such a feature. Otherwise, the BeamO has a permanent home in my home medical kit.

The Withings BeamO is meant to be a 3-in-1 health scanning device (thermometer, ECG, and stethoscope), with blood oxygen level also being measurable with a sensor in one of the contact points for the ECG. The device itself is pretty small, about the size of a small TV remote, with a single screen and a circular pad which allows you to navigate. The UI on the device is pretty simple and lets you change your user (which is tied to the app), update firmware, check system info, and most importantly use the core scanning functions. The device itself is primarily just a health scanner, with the majority of your data being available and interactable in the Withings app. It's a fine system, but I wish you could do more on the device itself with the app, like play back your heart and lung recordings. You can scan and get temps and some basic ECG info, but it feels like the app is really the main home of the data from the device. Which if you are already in the Withings ecosystem, may be nice. The app was easy to set-up and get going at least. In terms of features, the thermometer was my favorite because it simply worked fast and well. You can use it contactless and it typically returns a temp in 3-4 seconds. The temperature itself, as you would expect, is likely 0.5-1 degree lower than your actual internal temp, but that is the nature of using a surface temp thermometer. It's consistent and directional, which is what matters. Very easy and good digital solution. On the Stethoscope side, this was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, when using it for live listening, it did a decent job of allowing me to pick-up on breathing and heartbeats, and track them over time. On the other hand, the recording feature for both is pretty useless in my opinion. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get it to stop picking up background and white noise, which made the results tough to discern. The device walks you through areas to scan yourself when taking measurements, and does tell you if the environment is ‘too loud’ when taking the recordings so you can adjust. However, in many cases, I just could not get it to give me a good clean recording. I held my breath, measured in a silent room, tried different pressure levels, and no matter what, it just didn’t sound good. The level of digital amplification just added too much ambiance, and so while listening live it sounded pretty good, recordings just did not help at all. On the whole, it was not nearly as good as the generic stethoscope I have at home, with the digital one missing details in the sound and picking-up isolating noises in the background too easily. On the ECG side, this was okay, and the data is interesting, but you have to first submit your results to a health professional that the app connects to, which is very strange and feels uncomfortable from a health data privacy perspective, even if the data is managed correctly. I don’t have a good way to validate the results like I do with the thermometer and stethoscope against other devices, but it seemed pretty accurate on the whole. Once you get your initial results reviewed, you can then use the ECG feature on demand, but again, the initial process is strange. On the whole, I like the device, but it just feels pretty expensive for what it ultimately is. If you really want an all-in-one scanner, and/or, you are someone who prides themselves on collecting and storing a lot of health and fitness data daily, then this might be for you. In particular, if you already collect data from say Apple Health, and want to sync it with the Withings app. There are also numerous other products and services you can take advantage of in the app, including a subscription, to maximize your health tracking. But if you are just looking for a basic health scanner like this, and don’t need/want the smart features, I might consider saving a good chunk of money and passing on this one. I am happy to have it and test it, but I think there is room for improvement based on the capabilities it has today.

I've been aware of Withings and their generally low-profile health tracking devices for a few years now, but this was my first time actually using one. And I have to say it's been an interesting on-ramp. The BeamO is an interesting, if somewhat finnicky diagnostic aid that seeks to expand the range of what you can detect at home, and in doing so it immediately sets itself apart. You see while most health trackers try to gather data constantly, the BeamO seems much more like the thing you only bust out when things are really going wrong. First, I'd like to highlight some of the ways in which the device impressed me. There are actually four different tools contained in the BeamO: A stethoscope, a contactless thermometer, a pulse oximeter, and an ECG. All are tied together by an admittedly very well designed and easy to use app, which offers you guidance for using each of the tools, displays your results in an easy to access format with a few basic pointers on when you might want to be worried, and offers a variety of ways for you to send them off to a healthcare professional to get an expert opinion either via their own telehealth platform or your doctor's office preferred alternative. It's frankly hard not to think of a medical tricorder when you're scanning someone with the thermometer, though admittedly I imagine it would be a lot less fun if it didn't show that I was generally healthy. The thermometer seemed accurate, the stethoscope was good enough to pick up some noises in my lungs I've known to expect for a few years now, and while I don't really know how to interpret anything else the sampling quality seemed pretty good overall... though that was almost a problem. And as a bonus it integrated very well with my non-Withings smart watch, allowing the app to pull in a host of data from my non-Withings watch which included useful details such as sleep quality and activity level. One thing I did learn very quickly about the BeamO though is that it's amazingly sensitive, which does concern me a little bit. The first time I tried to take samples they came out very rough because it was picking up the sound of a TV playing in the next room, which muddled some of the recordings. To their credit they're doing stuff to try and counter that, such as providing warnings before taking a reading to make sure you're in a quiet room or not even allowing you access to the ECG feature until a professional has looked a sample over to make sure the thing's working right, but nonetheless I feel like it's something you may want to get some practice with before relying on it during a telehealth visit or to decide on if it's time to schedule a trip to your doctor. And as someone with no serious chronic conditions (at least so far) I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be getting that practice any time soon. So overall, if I were to recommend it to a friend it would probably be contingent on if they had some of long term issue that they wanted to do more regular monitoring on.

I’ve been using the Withings BeamO for a few days with my family to check basic health readings, and overall it’s been a helpful device once you get used to it. The BeamO feels solid but lightweight and fits comfortably in your hand. Getting it set up with the phone app didn’t take long, and adding different family members was easy. The thermometer is the feature I used the most. You just point it at the forehead and it gives a reading almost instantly. As long as you hold it steady and follow the instructions, the readings were consistent for me. The ECG feature takes about 30 seconds and guides you through the process on the screen. After the reading, the results show up in the app so you can look back at them later, which is convenient. You can also record heart and lung sounds. The recordings themselves are clear, but if you’re not familiar with what you’re listening for, they can be hard to understand. Still, it’s useful to be able to save those recordings. Blood oxygen readings were steady when I positioned the device correctly and stayed still. Like the other features, everything is saved in the app and easy to review later. The app pulls everything together and keeps readings organized by person. It’s helpful for looking back at past measurements, especially when using it for more than one family member. Overall, the BeamO has been useful for basic at-home health tracking. It’s not meant to replace professional medical equipment, but it’s convenient for keeping general health information in one place. --- ### Pros * Combines multiple health checks into one small device * Lightweight and easy to hold * Thermometer is quick and simple to use * Readings are saved automatically in the app * Works well for tracking multiple family members ### Cons * Takes some time to learn all the features * Heart and lung recordings can be hard to understand without experience * Needs the app and internet connection to review saved results

I am someone who has had some health issues recently diagnosed with an immune deficiency I have been really interested in health tech and the top of the list is WITHINGS I have had their watches and my most recent product prior to this beamo was the scale which I enjoyed using both the scale and the watch. The digital thermometers I’ve had before have never been to accurate or they are difficult to use or I just don’t trust them I’m not sure so when Withings realized their version I was super excited. The beamo is capable of more than just being a thermometer it’s a stethoscope and and EKG as well. The stethoscope works well and I had opportunities to use this and the thermometer but those are the two of the three things I can use on this. I tried to use the EKG which requires you signing up to receive a call from their doctor and then they won’t show the results until you speak to them which I thought was absolutely crazy. I’ve already got 7 doctors why do I need yours as well the use the features of this device? Makes no sense. I do like the thermometer and its ease of use however the app is frustrating and the EKG is useless.

So far so good. I have used the thermometer a few times on myself and family members and it matches a standard digital one. The ECG seems to work well although you need an official reading from a medical professional to fully utilize it's accuracy. The heart and lung recordings are decent but tricky to line up sometimes but you get used to it and the app does a great job helping with visual diagrams for correct locations and also timers. The headphones are not included but any wired headphones will work. Almost nobody has these on hand so plan on buying a cheap pair. The USB-C to 3.5mm jack converter is included in the box. The display and the carrying case are both outstanding along with the guidance and app. Withings did a very good job making everything presentable and easy to understand after getting comfortable with the physical aspects of the testing. My only complaint is having to use myfitnesspal to share data with Garmin which I feel should be possible as it would benefit both without needing a 3rd party app I otherwise wouldn't want or use. I will probably subscribe to Withings+ in the future if they can get direct Garmin integration as again I don't want to give my data to a 3rd party app that has nothing otherwise to do with the devices I am using.

Disappointing gimmick of a device. The only thing that works reliably is when you take your pulse, but the app uses your smart phone for that, not this device. The App keeps trying to sell me on a subscription all the time to "interpret" the results to find out how to improve my health with the knowledge that the subscription will bring to me. But it also touts, you can send your ECG or results to your physician. Sure you could, but my health care provider doesn't want them, stating, "We are not going to review home recorded results, you need to come into the office and have readings made by a health care professional with calibrated devices". App led me to do an ECG scan, and then said, someone needs to review it before you can see the results, and it took like 5 business days for it to come back that it was available to look at. I waited to do this review till I could go through some of their "Achieve" programs in the app, but I gave up after I couldn't figure out how to do or see the results of a simple blood oxygen level test. The app seems to suggest its done the same time as the ECG scan, but I did another ECG scan once it was "unlocked" and still can't seem to access the Blood Oxygen result and/or just take that as a separate reading. It is a real nice, albeit expensive non-contact thermometer though.
