First Claim
1. A system including:
- a scale comprising;
a platform configured and arranged for a user to stand on,data-procurement circuitry, including force sensor circuitry and a plurality of electrodes integrated with the platform, and configured and arranged to engage the user with electrical signals and collect signals indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and cardio-physiological measurements while the user is standing on the platform, andprocessing circuitry, including a CPU and a memory circuit with user-corresponding data stored in the memory circuit that corresponds to the user, configured and arranged with the force sensor circuitry and the plurality of electrodes to process data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry while the user is standing on the platform and therefrom generate cardio-related physiologic data corresponding to the signals collected from the user, and to determine activation of a service for health professional review of user data associated with the user; and
an output circuit configured and arranged to receive the user data associated with the user, and, in response to the determined activation, send the user data, including data indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and the generated cardio-related physiologic data, for reception at external circuitry that is not integrated within the scale; and
the external circuitry configured and arranged to receive the user data and, in response,validate the cardio-related physiologic data as concerning the user associated with a patient profile using the data indicative of the user'"'"'s identity, the patient profile being associated with the user; and
automatically update the patient profile to include a cardiogram measurement and the user'"'"'s weight using the generated cardio-related physiologic data for the health professional review.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an apparatus comprising a scale and external circuitry. The scale includes a platform, data-procurement circuitry to engage the user with electrical signals and collect signals indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and cardio-physiological measurements while the user is standing on the platform, processing circuitry to process data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry while the user is standing on the platform and therefrom generate cardio-related physiologic data corresponding to the collected signals, and an output circuit. The output circuit sends user data, including data indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and the generated cardio-related physiologic data, for reception at external circuitry. The external circuitry receives the user data, validates the cardio-related physiologic data as concerning the user associated with a patient profile, and updates the patient profile using the generated cardio-related physiologic data.

13. A method comprising:
-
engaging a user, via a scale, with electrical signals and, from the user and the electrical signals, collecting signals indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and cardio-physiological measurements while the user is standing on a platform of the scale, wherein the scale includes; a user display configured and arranged to display data to the user while the user is standing on the scale, the platform configured and arranged for the user to stand on, data-procurement circuitry, including force sensor circuitry and a plurality of electrodes integrated with the platform to engage the user with the electrical signals and collect data included the collected signals indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and cardio-physiological measurements, processing circuitry, including a CPU and a memory circuit with user-corresponding data stored in the memory circuit, configured and arranged within the scale and under the platform upon which the user stands, the processing circuit being electrically integrated with the force sensor circuitry and the plurality of electrodes, and an output circuit; processing, using the processing circuitry, data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry while the user is standing on the platform and therefrom generating cardio-related physiologic data corresponding to the collected signals; displaying the user'"'"'s weight, determined using the scale, on the user display; determining activation of a service associated with health professional review of the user data for the user; outputting, in response to the activation of the service and using the output circuit, user-data, including data indicative of the user'"'"'s identity and the generated cardio-related physiologic data, from the scale for reception by external circuitry that is not integrated within the scale; validating the cardio-related physiologic data as concerning the user that is associated with a patient profile using the data indicative of the user'"'"'s identity; and automatically updating, using the external circuitry, the patient profile to include a cardiogram measurement and the user'"'"'s weight using the generated cardio-related physiologic data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
