Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a weighing scale and external circuitry. The weighing scale includes a platform including force sensor circuitry and a plurality of electrodes to collect signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-related physiologic data while the user is standing on the platform and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry configured with the force sensor circuitry and the plurality of electrodes to collect the cardio-related physiologic data from the user and output at least portions of the cardio-related physiologic data as user data. The external circuitry receives user data from a plurality of weighing scales include the weighing scale and provides a hierarchy of services using scale-obtained data, wherein the hierarchy of services include different services enabled in response to user selection of the service and activation of subscription levels of different weighted values.
