Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a scale and external circuitry. The scale includes a platform for a user to stand on, and data-procurement circuitry for collecting signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-physiological measurements while the user is standing on the platform. The scale includes processing circuitry to process data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry and therefrom generate cardio-related physiologic data, and an output circuit to send user data from the scale for reception at a remote location. The external circuitry receives and validates the user data as concerning a specific user associated with a user ID and determine at least one physiologic parameter of the user using the user data. Further, the external circuitry derives additional health information corresponding to the user data based on categories of interest and outputs the additional health information to the scale for display.
