Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a scale having a platform for a user to stand on, data-procurement circuitry to collect signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-physiological measurements, processing circuitry, a communication activation circuit, and an output circuit. The processing circuitry processes data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry and therefrom generates cardio-related physiologic data, identifies a scale-based biometric of the user using the collected signals, and validates user data, including data indicative of the user's identity and the generated cardio-related physiologic data, as concerning the user. The communication activation circuit activates communication between the scale and a remote user-physiologic device in response identifying the scale-based biometric and verifying authorization data from the remote user-physiologic device corresponds to the user. The output circuit receives the validated user data and outputs at least a portion of the user data to the remote user-physiologic device.
