LifeMD, Inc.® (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual
primary care services, and Withings Health Solutions, a leader in
digital health technology, announce a new strategic partnership
designed to revolutionize weight management patient care by
providing LifeMD’s GLP-1 weight-loss patients with Withings
advanced in-home health monitoring devices, including the Body Pro
2 scale and the BPM Connect Pro blood pressure monitor. With these
devices, LifeMD is setting a new standard in virtual care by
providing clinicians with near real-time and actionable patient
data that can drive compliance, enhance clinical decision-making,
encourage preventive healthcare and, most importantly, improve
long-term outcomes.
LifeMD’s GLP-1 weight-loss program is uniquely
positioned to support patients on their weight-loss journey and
make healthy living accessible by providing online consultations
with licensed clinicians, prescriptions for weight management
medications and orders for full-service laboratory testing. By
leveraging the detailed health data from Withings’ in-home health
monitoring devices, LifeMD aims to gain deeper insight into the
effectiveness of GLP-1 treatments and their impact on overall
health. This partnership also lays the groundwork for pioneering
real-world evidence studies.
“Our partnership with Withings supports a key
corporate objective of building a significant chronic care
management business,” said Anthony Puopolo, M.D., President, LifeMD
Affiliated P.C.s. “Many patients currently treated by our
affiliated medical group for weight management have heart disease,
diabetes or other chronic conditions. Accessible interaction with a
virtual provider — combined with diagnostics, remote patient
monitoring and in-home tools like those offered by Withings — can
improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care for chronic
diseases.”
“By being one of the first to monitor body
composition in GLP-1 weight-loss programs, LifeMD is pioneering a
comprehensive approach to weight management. This collaboration
underscores our shared commitment not just to weight management,
but to a deeper understanding of a patient’s health,” said Antoine
Robiliard, VP Withings Health Solutions. “LifeMD's dedication to
leveraging advanced technology to enhance the patient experience
aligns perfectly with our vision. Our cellular devices, with
patient engagement features, will help LifeMD’s teams drive
consistent patient engagement and benefit from larger datasets to
make more informed decisions.”
Body Pro 2 is the first cellular body composition
scale that measures weight and provides a comprehensive analysis of
body composition including body fat, muscle mass, water percentage
and bone mass. With Body Pro 2, LifeMD benefits from a device that
puts patient care at the forefront with features such as
Personalized Health Nudges, allowing care teams to send
personalized messages to patients through the scale’s screen, and
ProgramMemberID, Withings exclusive patient recognition feature to
assure the measurement came from the patient rather than from
another user.
BPM Connect Pro offers medically accurate blood
pressure monitoring, enabling healthcare providers to track changes
in blood pressure alongside weight-loss progress. As GLP-1
medications can lower the risk of cardiovascular events, BPM
Connect Pro offers LifeMD-affiliated providers a comprehensive view
of their patients’ progress and the knowledge to adjust their
medications, if necessary.
Both devices utilize cellular connectivity,
ensuring that LifeMD receives HIPAA-compliant, accurate and
reliable measurements continuously, displayed in near real-time via
the LifeMD patient portal for use by the patient and clinical team.
Thanks to cellular connectivity, the devices work right out of the
box and require no installation.
This partnership not only is a significant
advancement in GLP-1 weight-loss treatment, but it also exemplifies
the potential of digital health technology to transform patient
care and outcomes in the virtual care landscape.
