A method for collecting prone position data of a human body is disclosed. The method includes: collecting weight data, back contour data and height data of a standing subject; receiving the weight data, the back contour data, and the height data, pre-preprocessing such data, and sending the pre-processed pre-processing data to a simulated bed by a processing center; receiving the pre-processed data and adjusting an initial pressure of a plurality of elastic columns of the simulated bed according to the pre-processed data by the simulated bed; causing the subject to lie on the adjusted simulated bed and further adjusting the simulated bed according to a subjective description of the subject until the simulated bed is suitable for the subject; collecting adjustment data of the simulated bed suitable for the subject by the processing center. A system for collecting prone position data of a human body is also disclosed.

Apparatus and methods to monitor changes in user weight. The apparatus includes at least one sensor configured to capture superquotidien measurements of the user's weight and an accelerometer to measure movements of the user, and estimates cumulative weight of the user based on the superquotidien measurements, wherein only sudden changes in the user's weight are used in the estimation. The sensor(s) can be located, e.g., within a shoe insole, within a chair, within a floor, etc.

Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a scale and external circuitry. The scale includes a platform, and data-procurement circuitry for collecting signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-physiological measurements. The scale includes processing circuitry to process data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry, therefrom generate cardio-related physiologic data, and to send user data to the external circuitry. The external circuitry identifies a risk that the user has a condition based on the reference information and the user data provided by the scale and outputs generic information correlating to the condition to the scale that is tailored based on the identified risk.

A method for determining a normalized weight of a non-static item is disclosed. Weight data associated with the non-static item is received from a plurality of load cells. A load cell weight for the non-static item is determined based at least in part on the weight data. The load cell weight for the non-static item is received as an input for a machine learning algorithm. The normalized weight for the non-static item is generated as an output for the machine learning algorithm.
