Do you use more than one app to record and view your health and fitness stats? A new app wants to be the one-stop-shop of apps for storing all of your health and fitness data. You may not actually use fewer apps, but with the Withings Health Companion, you can view all that health data in one place.
The Withings Health Companion app [iTunes link] for iOS, launched on Aug. 13. It allows users to monitor their weight, physical activity, heart and sleep quality and sync it to the app — even if you use other apps to track that information.
The health and fitness monitoring app space is a crowded one. But Withings has a long history in this particular niche— at least compared to others in the fitness-synced-with-social-media-space.
In 2009, the company created the first scale that Tweets your weight (that’s not a default feature, but if you feel like sharing that, you can set it up that way). Next came the Withings blood pressure monitor that connects directly into an iOS device. All this data is stored online and is accessible from the app. This new app from Withings allows you to sync you weight and blood pressure readings from various other devices and apps so you can view all of your stats on nifty charts and graphs. Withings Health Companion app also brings in your data from Zeo sleep coach, Body Media armband and Runkeeper — if you use those apps/devices.
What apps do you use to monitor your health? Would the Withings Health Companion app make it simpler? Tell us in the comments.
