RPM Scales
The iScale from Wanda Health RPM is engineered to make the remote tracking of patient weight and logging changes to body composition simple and straightforward for patients and practitioners, with one-touch functionality and user-friendly features accessible by any patient demographic.
Intelligent scales record a range of measurements and transmit readings securely through cellular networks, ensuring they are suited to patients in any location, including those where connectivity issues are a barrier to quality healthcare services.
Tracking weight is often combined with other remote patient monitoring solutions and devices, helping practitioners to improve outpatient care whilst reducing the cost of care and improving staff wellbeing.

iScale Smart Scales for RPM
Measuring and recording patient body weight measurements is a key component of care planning, medication administration, and lifestyle advice for physicians and clinicians engaged in care delivery for broad patient groups and specializing in multiple conditions and chronic diseases.
The iScale is ready to use and preconfigured for accessibility and convenience, recording accurate measurements simply by the patient stepping onto the scale, which activates and turns off automatically.
Almost all causes of mortality are connected to obesity and excess body weight, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. By monitoring and managing patient weight, practitioners can reduce patient risk profiles and proactively reduce emergency admissions and readmissions for post-care patient cohorts.
RPM weighing scales are also dispatched to patients where indications of sudden and uncontrolled weight loss may indicate a need for rapid intervention. Cases including substance misuse, kidney disease, lung conditions, and heart disease can all be identified and monitored by ensuring patient weight is actively tracked and recorded.

Applications for the Wanda Health iScale RPM Scales
Obesity is an epidemic of critical proportions, where RPM is an effective, scalable, and cost-efficient way to manage treatment plans, medications, and lifestyle changes for patients with a vast array of diseases and conditions.
Monitoring weight loss and inviting a patient to actively participate in their healthcare enhances engagement in following practitioner recommendations. RPM can identify triggers and risk points that impact exposure to hypertension, heart failure, and multiple other chronic diseases. Read more about RPM for weight management.
Many medical service providers combine the iScale with other RPM devices, such as the iBlood Pressure system, delivering a holistic overview of patient health and informing tailored care planning. Applications include:
-
Obesity management, ensuring patients with conditions caused or impacted by weight are under control, and monitoring how lifestyle, physical activity, and nutrition adjustments are impacting patient well-being.
-
Tracking warning signs of patients with heart disease and congestive heart failure, where sudden changes to weight may indicate a medical emergency.
-
Primary and secondary care services supporting older people, ensuring weight decline is addressed and managed.
-
Ongoing weight management for at-risk patient groups and those with underlying conditions that can be exacerbated by weight.
-
Handling hypertension and reviewing body weight alongside blood pressure to determine whether patient readings are following an upward trend.
The iScale is used in RPM services delivered by cardiologists, nutritionists, primary care physicians, and medical professionals engaged in gastroenterology and geriatric healthcare services.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Easy is the iScale RPM Weighing Scale to Use?
The iScale is designed to be usable straight from the box and does not require any training or instruction. A patient can simply step onto the scale for a reading to be taken automatically, transmitted to their practitioner, and recorded on their virtual care profile.
Patients can use the iScale irrespective of their access to a Wi-Fi connection, as the device does not need to be paired or integrated with any other devices.
Is the iScale a Heavy RPM Device?
No, we recognize that many patient groups find heavy and bulky devices difficult to manage and use, particularly when receiving an RPM device via courier and needing to position it in a convenient place where they will remember to record their measurements.
Our iScale is lightweight and portable and comes complete with long-life battery systems for immediate use.
