The Omnia is still very much in concept mode — a phenomenon popular in the automotive world that has since spilled over into consumer electronics. That is to say that Withings’ splashiest product of CES 2025 may never be a product. Among other things, a body-scanning smart mirror would likely be cost prohibitive for consumers.
According to Withings, Omnia is “not just a product — it’s a transformative experience that reimagines digital health possibilities.” Certainly the notion of a daily full-body health scan is appealing to many potential customers. It does, however, come on the heels of a decade of failed smart mirror projects.
The “conceptual product” would offer 360-degree body scans, offering up user insight into weight, along with heart and lung health. Other metrics like sleep, activity, and nutrition would presumably come from a connected wearable.
The mirror itself would be interactive via touch, coupled with the inclusion of a voice assistant. The Omnia could also serve as a telemedicine portal to healthcare professions, who would gain access to user metrics and offer advice accordingly.
Withings says the system is “currently in development,” pending things like clinical reviews and additional AI features. It does add, however, that some of the above features will be available in some form via the Withings app at some point later in 2025.
