I would say it is up to an application to be looking backwards in time for previous weights or whatver, and when it gets a new one which is wildly different, it might alert the physician - but even to do that, you have to establish reference ranges etc for that person, for what are dangerous changes of weight. I imagine athletes and certain other categories of people (actors maybe?-) change weight quite a lot but can be quite healthy; others might creep to 200kg very slowly but be very unhealthy. I don't think this is as simple as it seems.. - thomas - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
