Are Patients Willing to Use a Smart Scale?

摘要

Smart Scales are electronic scales that can store and track data (weights) with the ability to send data to an internet based portal. This data could go to the Health Care Provider (HCP) to help with weight management. It is known that patients that weigh frequently (more than once a week vs. weekly or monthly) will lose more weight than patients who do not.The objective is to determine if patients are willing to weigh daily and use a smart scale that would transmit their weight to their HCP.
