Abstract
A digital scale includes a display and buttonless top platform. Contact with the scale platform alone allows a user to power the scale, identify a user of the scale, determine a mode of operation of the scale, and to establish a reminder. The scale has a first mode of operation displaying a reading of the user's weight. The scale has a second mode of operation providing a display of the user's current weight, a delta or differential weight with the most recent recorded weight measurement and if the data is available, additional deltas for weight measurements taken up to one year earlier. The scale has a third mode of operation in which it provides a reminder for tasks to be undertaken by a user within a specified time.
