In some embodiments, the scale is provided with wheels to be portable. Also, some scales can be folded, pivoted, or adjusted into a more compact structure to be moved or stored. Some embodiments include an interface that can be swivelable and/or pivotable to allow the display to be viewed from a variety of directions. Some embodiments can also communicate with a network. The scale can also have individual adjustable load cells. The scale can also be configured to accept a Swipe card, smart card, or light pen to match patient identification with a measured weight.
