Withings adds predictive AI health features to the ScanWatch 2

Here is a 182-word summary of the key points from the news article: Withings has announced updates to the operating system of its ScanWatch 2 smartwatch, called HealthSense 4. The update adds new algorithms for 35 health metrics and predictive AI-powered alerts to notify users of potential health changes. The ScanWatch 2 also gains two new color options and improved battery life of up to 35 days. The updated algorithms enhance activity tracking, sleep monitoring, and the calculation of a new "Vitality Indicator" that estimates energy levels and fatigue. The predictive AI features can alert users to the start of a menstrual cycle or the onset of illness. While predictive health features are becoming more common in wearables, Withings' implementation is notable as the company positions itself as a more casual lifestyle smartwatch brand compared to specialized health trackers. The new ScanWatch 2 models will be available in 42mm sizes starting September 5th for $369.95, with a one-month free trial of the Withings Plus premium subscription.
