BlueScale

Caption

The BlueScale simultaneously records a variety of patient information, including weight, heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output, in a mere 10 seconds. When combined, those daily measurements offer a good picture of the health of the patient's cardiovascular system and can be predictive of acute episodes, such as heart failure.
