You might have heard about Omnia, the smart mirror from Withings, which has just debuted at CES 2025. Heck, Withings has even sent out an email to all its customers titled “Unveiling Omnia” but everything is not quite as it seems. More smoke than mirror?
Omnia is a combined smart scale and smart mirror that functions as a home health hub. It combines all the health monitoring equipment from the entire range of Withings’ products.
Omnia can give you insights into your heart health, respiration, body composition, and more. It can also share those data with healthcare providers – at least if you’re in the US, France or Germany. The service will be rolled out to more countries in the near future.
It can even connect to other health apps to provide more information on your nutrition and activity. Its overall function is to “decode your body”, with the help of Withings AI.
There’s just one problem. It’ not real…
The first clue is probably that Omnia stands at well over six feet tall and its base is so large that it wouldn’t fit into an average bathroom.
If you’ve read about Omnia already, you may not have noticed that it’s billed as a concept product. And it’s not one that Withings ever plans to put into production.
The point of Omnia is to showcase what Withings’ existing products – such as its smart scales, smartwatches and the BeamO, combined with AI and a Withings+ subscription – can already do.
And that is to offer an impressively comprehensive health analysis from the comfort of your home. But sadly, you’re not going to get that functionality in the form of an ultra-cool smart mirror.
Still, Withings claims that Omnia does work in principle but the brand was not allowed to use live data in the demo, so although people were able to stand on the scale, they weren’t able to get personalised health insights. Not that you’ll find out much beyond weight if you wear shoes on a smart scale.

Omnia is getting a lot of interest and attention on the CES show floor so who knows, maybe Withings will change its mind about it being a concept.
