The acquisition of the Berlin-based startup is expected to create a joint healthcare offering.
According to information from Techcrunch the French company Withings has bought the Berlin-based start-up 8Fit. Until now, Withings' portfolio mainly included medical hardware such as smartwatches that can measure heart rate or blood pressure monitors. With the acquisition of 8Fit, the French company is now expanding its offering to include workouts, meditations and meal plans. The Berlin-based company's offering is to be integrated into the existing Withings software.
"We are excited to combine Withings' expertise in connected health devices that collect accurate, high-quality data with our fitness and nutrition plans. Together, we will provide our users with a more holistic health offering that will help them live healthier and happier lives," 8fit CEO Lisette Fabian told Techcrunch.
8Fit has been around since 2014, and the fitness app is available in six languages and has been downloaded 30 million times, according to the startup's own data.
