I'm not a web health app developer, I'm a wearable developer: I name "Open Smartwatch GPS" [1] (currently in development).
There's not a lot of data yet, but how could I (or, more importantly, future users of Open Smartwatch, or future users of phone and apps that would want to serve health and movement data) connect to your service? Can an end user upload/push raw data as JSON, CSV, or as MQTT messages, and access it from an arbitrary health app that uses your service?

Ha! Wearable hardware "standards". Good joke! Do you integrate with GPSBabel [2] on the backend? But a commendable effort; there's a lot of wonky hardware out there, so thanks for unifying the multitude of providers.
Also, how does your service compare to Tapirik?

- kyriakosel 5y ago'Wearable developer'- I love it :) We don't currently support end user's pushing raw data to us, what use case are you thinking, out of interest ?
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoI generate step data (currently just local to the watch) and TCX files, either with just GPS data from the watch or with BLE heart rate strap data. Maps and workout journals are all I'm personally looking for, and I get those by emailing TCX files to <username>@smashrunimport.com. Getting reliable GPS antenna performance is my current focus, though. I'm honestly not sure what your customers' customers are using it for.
