Weight monitoring systems and methods using biometric identification input devices

摘要

A weight monitoring system includes a biometric identification input device, a body weight scale, and a controller. The controller is operative to identify a subject using identification data acquired by the biometric identification input device, to store weight data for the subject acquired by the body weight scale, and to correlate the weight data with the subject.

1. A weight monitoring system comprising:
a biometric identification input device; a body weight scale; and a controller operative to;
enroll a plurality of subjects, including acquiring and storing biometric and biographical identification data for each of the plurality of subjects;thereafter, for each of the plurality of subjects;
authenticate and identify the subject using identification data acquired by the biometric identification input device:store multiple weight values acquired by the body weight scale for the subject at different designated weigh-in time points, and correlate the weight data with the subject;index each of the multiple weight values to its corresponding weigh-in time point;programmatically analyze the weight data to determine and identify subjects who have lost more weight than a prescribed threshold weight loss between a first weigh-in time point of the subject and a subsequent weigh-in time point of the subject; andprogrammatically report the identification(s) of the subject(s) who have lost more weight than the prescribed threshold weight loss between a first weigh-in time point of the subject and a subsequent weigh-in time point of the subject, including issuing a visual and/or audible alert.
