Scaled-based methods and apparatuses for automatically updating patient profiles

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.
