What is Ceiba eConnect?
Ceiba eConnect is a connectivity interface that provides a wireless pathway between compatible Befour scales and electronic health record environments. It translates scale data for communication with hundreds of different EMR systems.
A connected workflow can be thought of as a simple chain:
| PATIENT | → | BEFOUR SCALE | → | CEIBA eCONNECT | → | EMR/EHR |
The scale captures the patient’s weight. The wireless connectivity method then provides the pathway for that information to reach the healthcare organization’s electronic system.
With Ceiba eConnect, the interface is designed to translate the scale's data for compatibility across hundreds of different EMR systems, helping organizations integrate connected weighing into the systems they already use.

Do I need to replace my EMR to use a connected Befour scale?
No. The purpose of the connectivity solution is to integrate the scale into the facility’s existing electronic workflow rather than require replacement of the organization’s EMR/EHR platform.
A medical scale should do more than produce an accurate weight. In a modern healthcare environment, it should also fit into the way information moves through the facility.
Befour’s EMR/EHR connectivity options provide facilities with a choice of direct USB connectivity or wireless connectivity through Ceiba eConnect. With eConnect supporting communication with hundreds of EMR systems, healthcare organizations can integrate Befour weighing into their existing digital workflow.
Accurate weight data belongs in the patient record—not on a piece of paper.

Weight management is an important part of many sports programs. Coaches and athletic trainers may need to record dozens or even hundreds of weigh-ins throughout a season, yet traditional processes often rely on paper, spreadsheets, or manually entered measurements.
Manual recording adds another step to an already busy practice or weigh-in. It can take time, create opportunities for recording errors, and make it harder to keep athlete weight information organized over time. Befour’s wireless scale solutions are designed to simplify that process by allowing weight data to move directly from the scale to a compatible mobile device.
The workflow is simple:
| ATHLETE | → | BEFOUR SCALE | → | WIRELESS/WIRED CONNECTION | → | MOBILE APP/INTERNAL DATA SOFTWARE |
The athlete steps on the scale, the scale captures the measurement, and the wireless/wired connection sends the reading to the selected application, where it can be recorded, monitored, and managed digitally.
Groups that can benefit include:
|
Wrestling teams
High school and collegiate athletic programs
Athletic trainers
Strength and conditioning programs
Sports performance facilities
Fitness facilities
|
Weight-management programs
Martial arts programs
Individual sports programs
Teams conducting frequent group weigh-ins
Organizations looking to replace paper-based weigh-in processes

USB Connectivity Compatible Befour scales can communicate with a computer or other compatible device through USB serial connectivity. For organizations that prefer a wired connection, USB provides a direct pathway for transmitting scale data without requiring wireless communication. |
Wireless Connectivity For teams and facilities looking for a more flexible setup, compatible Befour scales can be equipped with an optional wireless module. The module uses Bluetooth wireless communication to transmit scale readings from the scale to a compatible tablet or mobile device. This allows the scale to remain portable while giving coaches and athletic trainers the ability to record weigh-ins digitally without manually typing each measurement. |
|
Sports Weight Tracker App Befour’s Sports Weight Tracker app provides a digital way to manage team weigh-ins. Coaches can create a roster, establish weight parameters, conduct weigh-ins, and have measurements transmitted directly from the scale to a tablet. Instead of writing down each weight and entering it later, the measurement can be captured directly from the scale and associated with the selected athlete. The app can also monitor weight fluctuations and store weigh-in information for later reference, helping coaches keep athlete weight data organized throughout the season. |

Takedown Wrestling Platform For wrestling programs, compatible Befour scales can connect wirelessly with LevelChanger’s Takedown platform. Takedown incorporates wireless weigh-ins into a broader wrestling team-management system, allowing weight information to become part of the digital workflow used for rosters, statistics, scoring, reporting, and other team functions. This gives wrestling programs a way to move from the scale directly into their digital team-management system without manually recording and transferring each measurement. |

BodyMetrix Body-Composition Platform Befour also partners with BodyMetrix to bring accurate weight measurement into a broader body-composition assessment workflow. Compatible Befour Sports & Fitness scales can wirelessly transmit weight data to the BodyMetrix platform, where it can be combined with body-composition measurements from the BodyMetrix BX2K ultrasound device. This creates a more complete picture of an athlete or client by bringing weight and body-composition information together within the same digital assessment workflow. Befour provides the weight. BodyMetrix brings the measurements together. The result is a streamlined process that eliminates the need to manually record and transfer scale measurements during body-composition assessments. |
