DETECTO has many portable scale options when needed for home healthcare weighing. Home healthcare scales are used primarily by homeowners, mobile clinics, traveling nurses, and general purpose weighing. DETECTO’s home healthcare scales all come with sturdy handles for easy transport, rubber mats that offer user stability, and a variety of displays to use that can be dependent on the patient’s needs. The platforms are remarkably thin, allowing patients and home healthcare users to easily step onto the scale. The scales can weigh patients all the way up to 660 pounds, so most patients can be easily accommodated with most of the available home healthcare models. DETECTO’s home healthcare models have many options when transmitting data—some can be transmitted via EMR/EHR, some audibly state the user’s weight (in multiple languages), and others can ascertain valuable BMI information. These versatile home healthcare scales can also hold weights for users who step off the scale or those who have issues viewing the display.
