Editorial summaries
Lingo
Abbott's Lingo is an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor for non-diabetic and wellness consumers, built on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre sensor platform (FDA 510(k) K233655, decided May 29, 2024; Class II integrated CGM): a disposable biosensor worn up to 14 days on the back of the upper arm. It is the adaptive-algorithmic end of the glucose cell, the documented contrast to Stelo's generative AI: the app's 'Lingo Count' daily glucose-spike metric with adaptive targets, food and activity logging, and rule-based personalized recommendations are adaptive-algorithmic, not generative.
'Lingo Live' is free roughly 30-minute sessions with human Abbott nutritionists, not an AI coach, and DEPLOY surfaces that distinction prominently. Pricing starts at about $54 for a 2-week single-biosensor plan, with recurring biweekly and monthly multi-sensor tiers. From Abbott (NYSE: ABT). Cap-flag: the cleared indication is adults 18+ not on insulin, explicitly NOT for diagnosis of any disease including diabetes.
Withings ScanWatch
The Withings ScanWatch (the ScanWatch 2 at about $349 and the ScanWatch Nova, including the Nova Brilliant at about $600, November 2024; from Withings, founded 2008 in France and independent since buying itself back from Nokia in 2018) is the hybrid-analog entry of the biometric cohort: a conventional analog watch dial paired with medical sensors (optical PPG, electrical ECG, SpO2, and TempTech24/7 continuous temperature) and about 30-day battery. Its cleared features include ECG (for AFib, sinus rhythm, and high heart rate, cleared 2021, with an OTC ECG clearance in 2025), SpO2 with breathing-disturbance detection, and temperature trends, with an optional Withings+ subscription (~$9.95/month).
It carries substantial peer-reviewed cardiologist validation for the size of the company. Cap-flag: as a French maker it is cleared in both the EU and the US, with different specific indications by region.
