The IDEAL LIFE Body-Manager™ is designed for both weight-conscious individuals and patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The IDEAL LIFE Body-Manager* is a body weight scale that measures weight and automatically stores and sends the information to a user's healthcare team. CHF patients are often treated with multiple medications, and finding the optimal dosage can be a process of trial and error. Currently, one of the only ways to assess the effectiveness of a patient's drug therapy is by monitoring weight gain (caused by salt and water retention). Timing is critical, as quick adjustments to drug therapy at the onset of weight gain can often prevent possible emergency hospitalization. But vigilant monitoring can be a challenge for many individuals, especially those who find it difficult to stick to their diet and exercise programs.
