Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to a weighing scale including a platform, data-procurement circuitry, processing circuitry and foot-controlled user interface (FUI). The processing circuitry is electrically integrated with the data-procurement circuitry to process data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry while the user is standing on the platform and therefrom generate cardio-related physiologic data. The FUI provides data to the user while the user is standing on the platform and receive a foot-based user input from the user for the user to interact with the weighing scale.
