Connected Health Technology Company Withings announced that its Sleep Rx Mat, a non-invasive, contactless device designed to diagnose sleep apnea at home, has received FDA 510(k) clearance.
Sleep Rx Mat features include air pressure sensors to measure breathing rate, body movement, continuous heart rate, sleep cycles, sleep time, and sleep interruptions, while sound and movement sensors detect snoring and irregular breathing.
“We are excited to bring Sleep Rx to the U.S. market.” Antoine Robilliardvice president of Withings Health Solutions, said in a statement.
“Sleep Rx enables earlier and more accurate diagnosis, creating a new paradigm for diagnosing and managing sleep apnea. We know that one overnight assessment alone is not enough.”

In 2023, Withings has launched U-Scan, a biomarker assessment platform that can be placed inside the toilet bowl to monitor an individual’s health through urine analysis. The U-Scan reader comes with replaceable analysis cartridges that analyze a person’s urine for specific biomarkers and transmits the results daily to the Withings Health Mate app.
In 2022, Medable partnered with Withing to use the company’s connected devices in decentralized clinical trials. The partnership allows Withings tools for remote monitoring, such as connected weighing scales, blood pressure monitors, and sleep tracking mats, to collect patient data and integrate with Medable’s clinical trial platform.
same year, Withings has announced a remote patient monitoring program called Withings RPM that uses the company’s connected devices, including scales, watches, thermometers and blood pressure monitors, to monitor patient metrics such as heart rate, activity, blood pressure and sleep patterns.
