Mend Labs, a pioneer in innovative perioperative care solutions, proudly announces its partnership with Withings Health Solutions, a leader in digital health technology, to revolutionize preoperative care for patients with high BMI. Mend’s Upgraid platform, a groundbreaking Surgical Readiness Program for patients with increased obesity-related risk will leverage Body Pro 2, Withings' cutting-edge Cellular Body Composition Scale technology within Mend’s Upgraid care navigation program.
The Nourished by mend™ Surgical Readiness Program is a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to enhance surgical outcomes by optimizing patients' preoperative health and key biomarkers. By integrating Body Pro 2 into the Upgraid platform, Mend empowers its care team with comprehensive insights into patients' body composition, enabling customized coaching toward improved body mass composition, not just weight loss.
"Withings shares our commitment to leveraging technology to transform healthcare," says Dr. Erin Owen, VP of Clinical Research and Digital Health at Mend. "We have a philosophy that patients who are excluded from having surgery due to high BMI can be positioned for successful surgical outcomes with an evidence-based approach to managing their lifestyle-related risk factors. By integrating Withings' Body Pro 2, next generation cellular body composition scale into our platform, we are empowering our clinical team with actionable data to navigate patients with obesity through their surgical journey and avoid potentially preventable postoperative complications."
The partnership between Mend and Withings combines Mend's expertise in perioperative care with Withings' state-of-the-art health monitoring devices to deliver a holistic approach to BMI management that is directed by our team of Registered Dieticians. With the Nourished by mend Surgical Readiness Program, healthcare providers can track patients' body composition metrics, including body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, and fat mass, to assess surgical readiness and safely implement targeted interventions for better outcomes.
"We are thrilled to partner with Mend to integrate Withings technology into their pioneering platform," said Antoine Robiliard, VP Withings Health Solutions. "Together, we are changing the surgical BMI paradigm with a user-friendly scale optimized for patient engagement and remote monitoring to improve surgical outcomes.”
