The Gap

Standard scales leave millions behind.

People with mobility impairments face higher rates of chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease — yet most can't use a standard bathroom scale. Wheelchair scales are costly, bulky and require difficult transfers, so regular self-monitoring simply doesn't happen.

The FIT Solution

Your bed becomes the scale.

FIT captures weight automatically while you sleep. No transfers, no routines, no daily friction — just accurate data, every morning.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Place

    Slide thin sensor pucks under your bed.

  2. 2

    Connect

    Connect the central Hub to Wi-Fi via the FIT App in 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sleep

    Sleep naturally — sensors record weight silently overnight.

  4. 4

    Wake

    Wake up to accurate weight trends and health data.

Built for Everyone in the Loop

Passive weight capture with opt-in controls.

“Weigh Me Now” on-demand readings.
