Do your patients weigh themselves? Do patients journal or log their weight so you can monitor weight loss or weight gain or body composition?  Often even the patients who do weigh themselves, aren’t keeping track of it.  One of the biggest complaints we hear from doctors is they don’t have an easy way to get patients’ weight data. Many health care providers, nurses, coaches find they can only keep a handle on patient progress when patients come in and step on the scale in the clinic, which isn’t every day, or even every week, or month.

With connected health devices, patients with WiFi or bluetooth enabled scales simply need to step on their scale at home and your office gets the information immediately in your BodySite account. And Withings (previously Nokia) scales start as low as $59 compared to the Aria scales for Fitbit which are priced starting at $129 and might be too rich for many patients. But we leave that choice up to you and your patients. BodySite’s already existing integration with FitBit allows your patients or clients to use Aria scales with their FitBit app or Withings scales, which integrate through the Withings HealthMate app.

Patient integration is a piece of cake. Patients hit the My Connected Apps page on their BodySite account under Settings (from a computer) and click Authorize Withings Access . . .

Follow the steps to give BodySite permission to access the Withings HealthMate app data. Once complete, all Withings weight measurements will sync to BodySite every time a patient weighs him or herself for viewing by the patient and the provider. And each Withings log is identified separately from entries entered by patient or practitioner so that you know what data is coming from where.

BodySite’s integration with the new Withings line of scales, including their Withings Body, Body Plus + and many other devices that integrate with the Withings HealthMate app adds to BodySite’s growing set of integrations of food, body, activity and connected health tracking within the BodySite ecosystem. With Fitbit integration that includes all Fitbit wearables and Aria Scales, InBody integration for in-office weight and body composition as well as the Withings and Withings scales, BodySite is a leading patient feedback management source for busy healthcare providers.

We know how hard providers work to educate patients and we’ve worked hard to make BodySite’s content management and delivery system best in class. With patient tracking, monitoring and feedback tools, BodySite seeks to make patient and client care easier and easier so providers can see and help more patients in less time, all while delivering better results and outcomes for patients and clients.
