Withings, the French health‑tech leader, has announced a partnership with the Fédération Française de BasketBall (FFBB) to become the official supplier of connected health devices for the France Basketball National Teams, covering both men's and women's squads.
A Health‑Focused Partnership
At the heart of the collaboration is Withings' BodyScan 2, a clinically validated scanner that measures metabolic and cardiac risk factors, giving coaches and athletes actionable data to improve performance and reduce the likelihood of injury.
This isn’t the first time Withings has worked with French basketball; the company previously sponsored the WNBA's New York Liberty and released special‑edition scales for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, underscoring its long‑standing commitment to the sport.
The FFBB, which oversees more than 760,000 registered members across 3,800 clubs, says the partnership reflects a strategic push to embed health monitoring into the fabric of basketball, supporting athletes at every level from elite professionals to amateurs.
By highlighting women's health, the initiative aims to give female players the same access to cutting‑edge health tools as their male counterparts, reinforcing a broader commitment to gender equity in sport.
Withings' ultimate goal is to turn basketball into a catalyst for preventive health, using the sport's wide reach to promote wellbeing and early detection of risk factors across the entire basketball community.
