A simpler solution is to embrace lazy tracking.
Apps like RescueTime (time spent online) and Withings (sleep and steps) are simply running in the background of your life, with no additional input needed from the user.
I'm always impressed when I see people who maintain these massive data-entry systems, I know personally I would never be able to maintain them which is why I opt for lazy tracking. The less data entry I need to do, the better.
- kirso 5y agoPretty much this. If the app requires me to insert stuff manually - I am out... There are plenty of basic trackers for sleep / exercise today where you literally have to just wear the device...
- lijogdfljk 5y agoI'd be really curious if there was an API to consume data my watch tracks on my health. Such a wealth of lazy tracking data i imagine.
- rsanek 5y agoI've found the Fitbit API to be pretty usable.
- omarelnaggar 5y agoWe've been building part of this at https://mana.ai https://mana.ai! Our goal is to provide data that's even richer than Chronofile effortlessly using integrations (as you mention) and AI. We currently support desktop agents (Windows, MacOS), Calendars (Google Calendar, Outlook), health monitors (Apple Health, Google Fit), as well as Chrome, Slack and a few others. We're big supporters of MyDataGlobal and the OpenHumans movement, and have a few features for export in the product already. Happy to chat if you'd be interested in a way to feed out just the API data we're already managing so you can use it elsewhere, DM me or mail support@mana.ai and I'll see it!
- andreilys 5y agoOne of the frustrating things about wearables is a lot of them are closed down and the export data options are pretty limited. Oura ring however has an open API, I don't own one or use it but worth checking out - https://cloud.ouraring.com/docs/ https://cloud.ouraring.com/docs/
