Abstract
A scale including an event data discrimination and collection system for continuously monitoring a weight of an infant placed on the scale platen, which may be configured as a bed. Load cells are used to continuously monitor infant weight from time placed on the scale platen, so that sudden apparent weight spikes sensed by the load cells but attributable to events involved in patient care may be discarded as artifact, while gradual weight changes reflective of infant physiology are accumulated by the scale controller and used to provide a current weight for the infant.
