Weight loss or weight management system
First Claim
1. A system for weight loss or weight management of a person, the system comprising:
- (a) a monitoring unit comprising a transducer arranged to generate a signal representative of the patient'"'"'s weight;
a processor operatively coupled to the transducer and to a memory device;
an output device and an input device operatively coupled to the processor;
wherein the memory device is programmed with a set of instructions causing the processor to cooperate with the output device to present questions directed toward weight loss and to cooperate with the input device to receive answers to the questions; and
(b) a remote computing system in communication with the monitoring unit, the remote computing system being programmed to receive the answers provided by the person and the signal representative of the person'"'"'s weight and to generate an alert on the basis thereof.

Abstract
A system for weight loss or weight management of a person may include a monitoring unit and remote computing system. The monitoring unit includes a transducer arranged to generate a signal representative of the patient'"'"'s weight. It further includes a processor operatively coupled to the transducer and to a memory device. Further, an output device and an input device are operatively coupled to the processor. The memory device is programmed with a set of instructions causing the processor to cooperate with the output device to present questions directed toward weight loss and to cooperate with the input device to receive answers to the questions. The remote computing system is in communication with the monitoring unit. The remote computing system is programmed to receive the answers provided by the person and to receive the signal representative of the person'"'"'s weight. The remote computing system generates an alert on the basis thereof.

147. A method for weight loss or weight management of a person, the method comprising:
-
generating a signal representative of the person'"'"'s weight with a transducer;
presenting, with a processor operatively coupled to an output device and to the transducer, questions directed toward weight loss;
receiving answers provided by the person via an input device operably coupled to the processor; and
transmitting answers to the questions and the signal representative of the person'"'"'s weight to a remote computing system that may generate an alert, the alert being generated on the basis of answers to the questions presented to the person and the signal representative of the person'"'"'s weight. - View Dependent Claims (148, 149, 150, 151, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220)
