System and Methods for Monitoring Caloric Intake and Weight Loss

Abstract

A wireless network includes: a mobile device that includes a first central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and a first wireless communication module; a first instrument that includes a second CPU, a physiological sensor, and a second wireless communication module paired with the first wireless communication module; and a second instrument that includes a third CPU, a load sensor, and a third wireless communication module paired with the first wireless communication module. The second CPU is programmed to cause digital physiological variable data derived from analog data output by the physiological sensor to be broadcast by the second wireless communication module. The third central processing unit is programmed to cause digital body weight data derived from analog data output by the load sensor to be broadcast by the third wireless communication module. The first CPU is programmed to convert the digital physiological variable data into digital caloric intake data in accordance with an empirical relationship of a physiological variable to caloric intake stored in the memory and store the digital body weight data in the memory.
