Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a scale and remote user-physiologic device. The scale include data-procurement circuitry to collect signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-physiological measurements, processing circuitry, and a communication activation circuit. The processing circuitry processes data obtained by the data-procurement circuitry, generates cardio-related physiologic data, identifies a scale-based biometric, and validates user data as concerning the user associated with the scale-based biometric. The communication activation circuit activates communication between the scale and the remote user-physiologic device. The remote user-physiologic device collects signals indicative of the user's identity and cardio-related physiologic data, and outputs the authorization data to the scale. At least one of the scale and the remote user-physiologic device determine cardio-related data using the cardio-related physiologic data collected by the remote physiologic device and the user data collected by the scale, and perform additional processing of the cardio-related data.
