Abstract

A method for configuring a monitoring component for a user includes receiving an electrocardiograph (ECG) signal from an ECG component, receiving a weight signal from a scale component, and combining features extracted from the ECG signal and the weight signal to generate a current biometric signal. Responsive to the current biometric signal matching a historical biometric signal, the method includes obtaining a user profile and determining a health status for association with the user profile by classifying the current biometric signal using disease models and fitness models.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
an electrocardiogram (ECG) component, comprising:
a first electrode;
a second electrode, wherein a first ECG lead configured to generate a first ECG signal is formed upon user contact with the first and second electrodes; and
a third electrode, wherein second and third ECG leads configured to generate second and third ECG signals are formed upon user contact with the first, second, and third electrodes;

a scale component, comprising:
a platform configured to support the user;
a weight sensor in communication with the platform and configured to generate a weight signal based on user presence on the platform; and
a monitoring component, comprising:
a non-transitory memory; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the non-transitory memory to:
receive the first, second, or third ECG signal from the ECG component;
receive the weight signal from the scale component;
combine features extracted from the first, second, or third ECG signal and the weight signal to generate a current biometric signal;
responsive to the current biometric signal matching a historical biometric signal, obtain a user profile; and
determine a health status for association with the user profile by classifying the current biometric signal using disease models and fitness models.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
responsive to the current biometric signal not matching a historical biometric signal, send a profile generation request soliciting the user to generate a user profile.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the first, second, or third ECG signals comprises receiving a touch input from the user at two, three, or four of the electrodes of the ECG component.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the health status is related to the user's weight, heart rate, fatigue level, stress level, heart age, heart rate variability, or heart condition.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the health status further comprises determining a health status trend by comparing the health status determined using the current biometric signal to a health status determined using the historical biometric signal.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, at an output screen associated with the monitoring component, a status indicator associated with the health status.
