How bathroom scales could monitor heart failure - Futurity

You are free to share this article under the Attribution 4.0 International license. An experimental device uses machine learning tools--and a bathroom scale--to monitor heart failure. Researchers envision this scenario: The user steps onto a the scale and touches metal pads. The device records an electrocardiogram from their fingers and--more importantly--circulation pulsing that makes the body subtly bob up and down on the scale. Machine learning tools compute that heart failure symptoms have worsened.
