Doro has entered a partnership with French company Withings in the area of mHealth. The agreement provides users of Doro’s newly launched smartphone – the Doro Liberto® 810 – privileged access to Withings’ two most popular medical devices. This allows users, or their designated family member, to monitor and measure changes to certain vital signs. “We are pleased to work with Withings as a specialist connected health partner around the launch of our new smartphone. Doro Liberto® 810 is a product, which helps the non-smartphone users to try the smartphone experience.
