Intro

Mantracourt products serve a wide variety of medical applications.

This application demonstrates how the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of the DSCUSB digital conditioner was used. This provided a simple solution for a chain of weight loss clubs. Members of the clubs weigh in at weekly meetings to track their weight loss and help reach their weight loss goals. Most clubs used a paper record system of monitoring each member’s weight, which was manually recorded and filed each week.

The Challenge

A leading health and fitness company saw the opportunity to electronically log their members’ weight on a computer system. This enabled members and leaders to keep records of their weight loss via a central database. The problem was how to transfer the weight readings onto a laptop from the set of scales used.

The Solution

The OEM integrated the DSCUSB strain gauge digitiser module with USB interface to the inside of the weighing pad within the scales. Thereby, it both powered and digitised the output from the load cells. When the scales connect via the USB to a laptop, the software displays weight readings of the member’s weight. Simultaneously, the software records these readings on the laptop. The software enables the display and recording of weights in kilograms and stones units. Additionally, it calculates and records the Body Mass Index (BMI). Finally, this allows users to compile reports on a weekly, monthly, annual, or individual weight loss basis.
