Scale-based on-demand care system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with a plurality of user devices, each the plurality of user devices including circuitry to collect and to communicate user-specific physiological data, the apparatus comprising:
- a weighing scale platform configured to support a standing user and to include circuitry having a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors being configured and arranged to engage the user and in response, collect cardiovascular data from the user including information indicative of heart rate; and
processing circuitry including a CPU and a memory circuit configured and arranged under the platform upon which the user stands and in communication with the circuitry and with at least one of the plurality of user devices and to receive both the collected user-specific physiological data and the collected cardiovascular data, wherein the processing circuitry authorizes communication by the weighing scale platform with the one or more of the user devices and in response to the authorization receives the collected user-specific physiological data from the at least one user device;
the processing circuitry being configured and arranged to aggregate the collected user-specific physiological data and the collected cardiovascular data and in response generate aggregated user-specific data for reporting whether the aggregated user-specific data corresponds to a health condition by the processing circuitryaccessing a database or a computer network and searching whether information concerning the aggregated data and matches criteria for triggering an alert of the health condition, andsending a report or an alert to display circuitry which is configured and arranged to alert the user or a healthcare professional.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an on-demand healthcare apparatus used to enrich the doctor-patient relationship, provide accessible specialized care, while also reducing costs. The apparatus includes a weighing scale including a platform and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry or a portion thereof is electrically integrated with a plurality of sensors under the platform and collects physiological data from the user while the user is standing on the platform. The processing circuitry aggregates scale-obtained data with user data from a plurality of user devices and/or medical devices, filters a database or a system of computer networks with the aggregated data in response to the aggregated data matching trigger data indicating the user is at risk for a health condition, and provides the aggregated data and filtered data to external circuitry accessible by a healthcare professional for review and for providing on-demand care.
