Withings is making a cardiologist checkup part of its health subscription

Sometimes having a human make sense of your wearable data is better than just trying to figure it out yourself.

The Withings Plus subscription, which costs $99.95 per year, will now include four checkups annually, though they’re not live appointments — a cardiologist will instead review your data and deliver you a heart health report. Cardio Check-Up gives Withings an answer to one of the most pressing challenges facing any health wearable, which is how to help users make sense of this mountain of complex data they’re suddenly collecting.
