Vital Guard RPM Body Scale FAQs
Is the Vital Guard remote patient monitoring scale difficult to use?
Although we recommend that patients read the user guide beforehand, the Vital Guard RPM Body Scale is designed for ease of use. It works like any other standard scale purchased at a big box store. It’s ready to use out of the box, with no Bluetooth, WiFi, or app pairing required. Patients simply step on the scale to power it on and take readings.
How is the Vital Guard RPM scale different from a Bluetooth device?
Bluetooth devices need to be paired with an app, tablet, or hub to transmit readings. The Vital Guard Body Scale has a built-in SIM card and antenna, using cellular networks to securely transmit readings to the cloud. For patients, the experience is simple, requiring nothing more than to weigh themselves daily. Data is then shared with their provider in near real-time.
What makes the Vital Guard Body Scale different from other remote weight monitoring devices?
Vital Guard was launched with the goal of making RPM simple for all patients, regardless of age, condition, or socioeconomic status. The device wirelessly sends weight data from a patient’s scale directly to their health file for virtual review and monitoring by their physician. With this data, the care team can remotely monitor weight and make appropriate treatment or lifestyle decisions.
How much does the Vital Guard Body Scale cost?
The Vital Guard Body Scale is offered as part of our remote patient monitoring (RPM) packages and can be purchased upfront or bundled into the RPM service.
How big is the Vital Guard Body Scale?
The Vital Guard Body Scale is lightweight and easily portable at just 5.1 lb (without batteries). The scale’s dimensions are 12.6" x 12.6" x 1.1".

Why Choose a Remote Patient Monitoring Scale from Vital Guard?
More patients and care teams are turning to remote monitoring to stay connected outside the clinic. For individuals managing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or weight-related health concerns, daily weight trends can offer important insight into overall wellbeing. Remote weight tracking helps providers respond earlier and support patients with more confidence.
The VitalGuard Body Weight Scale makes this process simple. Each measurement is sent automatically through a secure cellular connection, giving clinicians a clearer picture of a patient’s day-to-day health. This consistent information can help identify changes — such as sudden weight gain — that may need attention, especially for patients living with congestive heart failure or other chronic conditions.
Remote weight monitoring can also complement other vital-sign data, such as blood pressure, heart rate, or oxygen saturation. Together, these readings help care teams understand how a patient is doing at home and offer more personalized guidance when needed.
VitalGuard designs every device with patients in mind. Our cellular weight scale is lightweight, reliable, and easy to use — with no apps, passwords, Bluetooth®, or Wi-Fi required. It arrives pre-configured and ready to use immediately, making it simple for patients to stay engaged in their care and for providers to receive the consistent information they need to make well-informed decisions.
