Does BodySite Integrate with Innotech—a Body Composition Home-Scale for Patients?
For those with patients who are looking to replace their current scale with a smart scale, the Innotech Body Composition Scale is simple to use and can be synched automatically with BodySite.
What is the Innotech Body Composition Scale?
The Innotech Body Composition Scale is a bluetooth smart scale that provides nine different ways to look at body measurements including weight, body fat, water, muscle mass, BMI, BMR, visceral fat, bone mass, and protein.
Innotech provides the most accurate measurements with their commonly used bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) technology and advanced chip.
How Does the Integration Work?
BodySite is a remote patient care and monitoring platform that gives providers the ability to track everything that their patients are doing in real time including their body metrics, nutritional information, and activity data.
Patients are typically prescribed medication, supplements, and hormones, and are often told to lose weight, exercise, and eat right, but are rarely given a full roadmap on how they can put it all together. BodySite gives professionals tools that will allow them to do exactly that, along with the ability to easily communicate with patients and track their progress.
The Innotech integration allows patients to give BodySite access to their data which will then be displayed inside of the HIPAA-compliant remote patient care dashboard for both you and your patients to see. Patients can easily have those 9 different body metrics automatically communicated.
To integrate their Innotech scale into their account, patients can log into their BodySite account in the app and go to the settings page. From there, make they will enter their gender, height and date of birth. Once that’s done, patients will scroll down to the Bluetooth Devices section and select Innotech to pair the scale to the app. Users can simply follow the prompts on the app screen to pair.
Once this is complete, every time the patient uses the scale they will navigate to the settings page, select Innotech Scale Paired and select Use Innotech Scale to use their scale with the app. When doing so, their metrics will automatically be shared with their BodySite account, provider and care team.
How Does the Innotech Scale Integrate with BodySite’s Plans?
It’s easy — all patients need to do is step on their scale instead of manually entering their weight. The body metrics being measured will automatically synch into their BodySite account for you and your care team to view as needed.
BodySite’s platform provides guidance and clinical interventions leveraging evidence-based content programs powered by a rules engine and a real-time patient feedback loop. There are over 60 care plans that can be customized and assigned to patients including diet, exercise, and patient education plans, or you can create your own plans using BodySite’s content management system. The protocols cover a wide variety of medical issues that keep the patient engaged in their health all while saving the provider time.
The care plans can have instructions to log a patient’s biometric data such as weight, blood pressure, or blood sugar. The platform’s rule-based alert system allows providers to be notified when their patients aren’t tracking a metric or if they’ve tracked something out of range. The integration with Innotech makes it even easier to see a patient’s progress in real time without them having to manually track the needed information.
BodySite also has a Virtual Clinic inside of every account at no extra cost. Providers have access to their clinic in their account dashboard where they can speak with patients, enroll patients in care protocols, and securely transfer messages and documents through our HIPAA compliant messaging engine. Communication has never been easier.
The Innotech scale is also included as part of our Weight Loss in a Box and other boxed care solutions. The Weight Loss in a Box includes the patient-facing weight loss program in both print and digital, a powerful easy to use patient portal for the patient and your team, advertising, marketing, and sales tools for you to use right away and even the pricing and sales frameworks to make this all come together seamlessly.
The integration with Innotech will be especially useful for patients that are assigned to a certain plan (or plans). For example, if you have a patient assigned to the Clean 28 Diet Plan, you can instruct them to use their Innotech scale for easy access to their body metrics. This will allow both you and your patients to seamlessly track their progress throughout their plan, and your patient won’t have to remember to manually enter their metrics each day.
It will be just that easy for any plan where your patient has to track their metrics. Whether it be weight, body fat, water, muscle mass, etc., you’ll be able to easily monitor their progress every step of the way.
Why Should You Encourage Patients to Use Connected Health Devices?
The use of connected devices by your patients can seem a bit intimidating because of the amount of data being generated, but with the right remote patient monitoring hub you’ll be able to easily see, sort, and manage your patients’ biometric data all in one place.
Fortunately, your expertise along with the BodySite platform will allow you to look at the progress your patients have made with their health goals and use the data to decide the care they may need (e.g. a wellness plan).
There’s a great amount of evolved technology you now have in your grasp that can tell patients what they are doing right or wrong with their health and wellness. With some expertise, guidance, and patient education, patients can have all the help they need towards better health outcomes.
An integrated guidance and monitoring platform such as BodySite gives you, as the provider, the opportunity to take this free flow of information and turn it into an actionable and fully comprehensive care plan for your patients.
