NEW YORK and BOSTON – A new strategic partnership designed to advance weight management care will see LifeMD provide its GLP-1 weight-loss patients with advanced in-home health monitoring devices from Withings Health Solutions, including the Body pro 2 scale and the BPM Connect Pro blood pressure monitor. Through the partnership, LifeMD, a provider of virtual primary care services, provides clinicians with near real-time and actionable patient data that can drive compliance, enhance clinical decision-making, encourage preventive health care, and, most importantly, improve long-term outcomes. "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." Body Pro 2 is a 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. BPM Connect Pro offers medically accurate blood pressure monitoring, enabling health care providers to track changes in blood pressure alongside weight-loss progress.
