BodyTrace Integration
BodyTrace scales ship with built-in LTE cellular modems — no Wi-Fi setup, no smartphone pairing. A patient steps on, the scale transmits directly to BodyTrace's cloud, which pushes to vitalera. Purpose-built for clinical RPM programmes serving patients who may not own a smartphone.
Data types
| Measurement | Metadata | LOINC |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Battery %, signal strength | 29463-7 |
Each reading includes battery_level and signal_strength_dbm so RPM teams can proactively replace batteries or relocate the scale before it goes offline.
Connection
BodyTrace uses API keys (not OAuth) and a push model — once the scale is assigned to a patient via the BodyTrace partner portal, vitalera receives every measurement as soon as it's recorded.
curl -X POST https://api.vitalera.io/api/connected-accounts/bodytrace/oauth/initiate/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <user_token>" \
-d '{"device_imei": "353011097123456"}'
The request links a BodyTrace scale (identified by IMEI) to a vitalera user.
