Pally Smart Health Scale
Pally Smart Health Scale is a wireless bathroom scale using Bluetooth 4.0 to connect and transfer data to Bluetooth Smart Ready phones and tables. The objectives of the Pally scale design are simplicity and privacy.
Building on Bluetooth Low Energy technology, the scale sets a record of simplicity of use in the category. Users only need to press a button to securely pair up the scale and a Bluetooth Smart Ready phone or tablet. The scale stores weight measurements of the entire family and passes the data to the mobile device when it’s close by. With line of sight, wireless connection can be made in about 50 meters (164ft). In a typical North American home environment, it has a range of around 22 meters (72ft), sufficient to cover the entire house.
To ensure privacy, the weight measurements are transmitted to mobile devices securely and are never sent directly to the cloud. The data can be analyzed and graphed for personal use. In a multi-user family environment, the wife can set her measurements as private and prevent other users from viewing the data. Nevertheless, if the user wants to share the data in social or medical environment, this can be done in the app easily.
Using the highly power efficient TI CC254x system-on-chip solution, the scale can last over 5 years on 4 AA batteries.
