U.S. Preventive Medicine | Top Apps Review


Jacksonville, FL and Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

U.S. Preventive Medicine, Inc., the leader in preventive medicine, today announced that Macaw from The Prevention Plan, its mobile health and fitness app, is now integrated with the Withings WiFi Body Scale. This convergence of technology will provide users with a revolutionary way to manage their health.

Macaw is a full-feature app that assesses an individuals health risks and will serve as a hub to track health metrics and activity, as well as integrate information from other health and fitness apps, lab results and wireless devices. Using this wireless technology, the Withings scale will seamlessly integrate with the Macaw app.

The Withings WiFi Body Scale is the worlds first WiFi-connected personal weight scale, which automatically records the users body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculated body mass index (BMI) and automatically integrates that data with Macaw. Users of the mobile app will have a complete picture of their health, be able to track fluctuations in in the scale measurements over time, and track healthy activities and diet that correspond to those weight fluctuations.

For members of U.S. Preventive Medicines The Prevention Plan, Macaw will also integrate this data between the mobile app and the Plans online health management platform using technology and services provided by Qualcomm Life, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated. Macaw can be downloaded for free on the iPhone and Android devices.

U.S. Preventive Medicine plans to integrate Macaw with dozens of health devices, monitors and mobile apps in the coming months, said Christopher Fey, founder, CEO and chairman of U.S. Preventive Medicine. By combining the paradigm shift of technology and the clinical discipline of preventive medicine, we hope to transform the way people think about, engage in and manage their health.

?We developed our WiFi Scale knowing that monitoring your weight on a daily basis is the key to reaching and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, said Withings Co-Founder Cedric Hutchings. By partnering with U.S Preventive Medicine, our scale makes the tracking of weight for their users easy in an effort to support their global initiative in preventive health.?
