Medical Scales were first introduced in the 18th Century. This was after other scales developed by blacksmiths, clock makers and silversmiths were introduced. Their growth was promoted by the demand from health practitioners at the time who wanted accurate readings for better services.
Initially these medical scales could only capture basic health details such as height, weight and the body temperature. However this has since changed and they can now capture more details. Currently there are six health details that they are able to capture. They include the emotional distress of a patient, fatigue, general health, social role participation, physical functionality and pain.
Their advancement has also been witnessed in their design and development. The mechanical types are now being replaced by the electronic and digital types that have more advanced features. The new types can now offer more to users. They not only capture data but they also generate results and analysis that are very helpful to the users.
Users can therefore get more accurate results and analysis with minimal errors. This has led to improvement of services offered to patients who then have better chances of recovering. The analysis generated by these modern instruments have also made it easier for health professionals to discuss the health reports with their patients. There are two major categories of medical scales.
The first category consists of the specialized type which is only used by professionals who have vast experience and training on how to use them. This category is designed for use in specialized operations due to the advanced features of the instruments and machines. They are only found and used in hospitals and other modern health facilities.
The parameters and reports found in these types are quite complex and hence they cannot be understood by everyone. The other group is designed for personal use by almost anyone. They are quite simple to use. Their analysis and reporting is quite direct and is easily understood. These can be found in homes, gyms, spas, schools, hotels etc.
The instruments and machines in this category are also user friendly with some of the parameters designed in a way that users can adjust them to understand the results better. For example if a user is not comfortable with the Kilograms as a unit of measurement, he or she can adjust this to Pounds. This category is also regularly tested and approved to ensure that they remain accurate, up to standard and their results can be relied upon.
Their use has also grown from the traditional use to other uses. Other professionals are now using them in their various professions to improve their results and achieve their goals. Examples include athletes, nutritionists, health workers, sportsmen and women among others. These professionals no longer rely on reports from doctors, specialists and surgeons.
However with the advanced technology these professionals can gather their own specific data that they need to make informed decisions and reach their goals. The impact of the advancement is now being witnessed in these fields. People are becoming healthier, more physically fit and our athletes and sportsmen and women are achieving their best results.
