    1

    Download the Health Mate app

    ~15s
    Search "Health Mate by Withings" in the App Store or Google Play. Install the free app. Create a free Withings account with your email address. This account stores all your health data in the cloud so it is accessible across devices.

    Set up a Withings device

    ~27s
    With the Health Mate app open, tap the "+" button → "Add a Device." Select your device type from the list. Follow the on-screen pairing instructions — most devices connect via Bluetooth (phone must be nearby) or Wi-Fi (for scale and blood pressure monitor that can sync automatically without your phone present).

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Wi-Fi connected devices sync readings automatically every time you use them — even if your phone is in another room. This is more convenient than Bluetooth-only devices.

    3

    Take a reading

    ~27s
    For the scale: simply step on it. It recognizes which family member is stepping on based on weight and auto-assigns the reading. For the blood pressure monitor: put the cuff on your upper arm, tap the button on the monitor or in the app, stay still for 60 seconds. Readings appear in the app within seconds.

    Warning

    For blood pressure: take readings at the same time each day, 5 minutes after sitting quietly, and avoid caffeine for 30 minutes before. This gives the most meaningful comparisons over time.

    4

    Read your health trends

    ~17s
    In Health Mate, tap any measurement type (Weight, Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, etc.) to see a chart of your readings over time. Tap "Week," "Month," or "Year" to change the time range. The app highlights readings outside normal ranges. Tap any data point to see the exact reading and timestamp.
    5

    Share data with your doctor

    ~19s
    In Health Mate, go to "Account" → "Share My Data" to generate a PDF report of your readings over a time period. You can email this to your doctor or print it to bring to an appointment. Many doctors appreciate seeing 30–90 days of blood pressure readings taken at home rather than just the single in-office reading.
