Brace yourself for a slew of Finnish health hardware: Nokia has just announced that it plans to buy the digital wellbeing and wearables company Withings for $190 million.
Nokia, which is buying the company in cash, will roll Withings’ 200 employees into its Nokia Technologies business. It’s hoped that the takeover will allow Nokia to “make a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives” with hardware to help folks keep track of their health and activity.
Withings already has a range of nicely designed and user-friendly products: The analog watch-style Activité fitness tracker, an e-ink screen smart pedometer, and even an easy-to-use digital thermometer. Come to think of it, its design aesthetic isn’t totally unlike many of Nokia’s old block-color phone concepts.
