HSCo Baby Scale: Baby Weight Scale App for Wards and Clinics
The HSCo Baby Scale app records weights from our Bluetooth baby scale against each baby’s record, so the nurse can save a weighing without copying the weight into a register. Built for hospital wards and clinics, it shows each baby’s growth history and flags readings using limits set by the hospital’s own doctors.
It runs on an Android 8.0 or newer phone or tablet. Records stay on that device; nothing is sent to HSCo or any cloud.
Save a steady reading against the right baby
The scale steadies the reading by itself. The nurse checks that the correct baby’s record is selected, then saves the weighing in one tap. The nurse’s name is stamped on each weighing. It is a stamp, not a login: when two nurses share one tablet, the name is changed under More at handover.
The weight and the baby’s record are saved together. Confirming which baby is on the tray is still the nurse’s job; the app cannot do that.
Sample data
Flag readings for review using your hospital's limits
The app immediately marks a weighing as fine, needs watching or needs the doctor, using the limits your hospital sets. Your hospital’s own doctors decide those limits.
The app is an aid, not a doctor. It never advises treatment. A flag means: look at this reading. What to do about it is the doctor’s call.

Sample data
A growth line for each baby
The app draws each baby’s recorded weighings as a growth line. Staff can see the pattern across weighings instead of looking only at the latest weight.
Sample data
A daily ward round list
The home screen is the day’s ward round list, so the nurse sees at a glance which babies are on the ward.
Earlier records when a baby returns
You can discharge a baby and bring the baby back into the app when they return. Earlier weighings remain available. Nothing is deleted from the app, so discharge does not remove the baby’s history.
Keep records on the ward's phone or tablet
Records stay only on the phone or tablet running the app. They are not sent to HSCo or any cloud and leave the device only through a deliberate export.
The ward’s records, or one baby’s record, can be sent as a spreadsheet file by WhatsApp, email or to a drive. The hospital decides when to send them.
A weekly test-weight check with the ward’s known weight proves the scale is weighing correctly and keeps a record of every check.
What to check before ordering
- The scale: the app works with HSCo’s Bluetooth baby scale, and the two have been tested together. Send details of the scale you have or need so we can check your proposed setup.
- The ward device: the phone or tablet must run Android 8.0 or newer. Send its model and Android version.
- The limits: send the weight limits your doctors want the app to flag.
