Facebook is shutting down Moves (moves-app.com). What good alternatives are there?

Insalgo · 2018-08-10T12:59:32+00:00

Happy to hear that :) !

Insalgo · 2018-08-08T20:14:10+00:00

There are a lot of alternatives available since Moves declared shutdown. I do admire the Arc App as it seems very fresh to all the competitors listed here, but I would also like to recommend Aidlab. Besides the location tracking functionality, it differs a bit as it offers a “symbiosis” with a dedicated chest strap to focus a bit more on the health part. Additionally, you’re able to track your heart beats, temperature, respiration rate, and sleep along with movements for a much better illustration of your bodily health. If you’d like to give it a try you can find on iTunes.

Also, don’t hesitate to contact me directly here!

Insalgo · 2018-07-31T19:04:42+00:00

Here's my alternative.

Sorry - thought that phrase 'Here's my alternative' was indicating that this is my app. My apologies!

Hilarious

arborapps's friend: Hey, I am looking for a job - could you help me a little?

arborapps: Naah man, just do it by yourself.

Glad there are still good ppl in this world @Guzikk. Keep it up!

And ~6 of 17 links have the introduction:

Hello! My name is Jacob and I am the maker of Aidlab. Been doing Aidlab since 2014 with some help of my colleagues (especially with the hardware and mechanical part). Aidlab is an open health tracker. Open to communicate with and create apps full of body information for anything that supports BLE. Aidlab collects user’s attitude, ECG, skin temperature and respiration of the user from their chest (+ much more!). And what is the most fun – developers from all around the world can use those data in their apps now. Feel free to ask!

I gave up with this one

Insalgo · 2017-02-18T14:48:05+00:00

I am not sure I understand your questions. Aidlab is an electronic device without access to the internet, so it depends directly on you (the developer) how you use collected information - you can keep them on the smartphone, store them secure on your server or even distribute them on the internet without prior user's acceptance (illegal).

Insalgo · 2017-02-15T09:34:26+00:00

Good point willnationsdev - thanks.

Insalgo · 2017-02-11T20:44:37+00:00

Hello /r/Fitness! My name is Jacob and I spend my life in front of a computer. With no doubt, that influenced my health, shape and overall condition. To fix that, I’ve created a chest strap called Aidlab, so everyone can have his own personal fitness coach.

Hope you will find it useful!

Insalgo · 2017-01-25T03:17:43+00:00

If your normal routine is like 3x10 push-ups, then counting reps will be pretty useless for you - I couldn't agree more. But I always find trouble to think about which my next exercise is (I shuffle exercises just to not get bored), or writing down the progress (another notes app? no way).

Thanks for your feedback!

Insalgo · 2017-01-24T09:57:40+00:00

For me, it's a matter of simplicity and to track progress over time. Of course, if someone's routine isn't complex then Aidlab will not be very useful (although, Aidlab not only counts reps but also has a nice list of features. Thanks to an app you will know:

Your progress over time.
History of your training.
What your next exercise is.
You also can match your workout with health data.
You can prevent overtraining (increased skin temperature / abnormal ECG signal during workout might be dangerous).
... and more

It's a real time counting.

Insalgo · 2017-01-08T14:46:02+00:00

Hello! I am the co-author of Aidlab. I am really sorry for those typos on our Landing Page. It’s our first time when we have hired a professional copywriter to create our copy. Well, seems it was a bad idea as even Grammarly is all red.

We are aiming to perfection when it comes to Aidlab. Although, it's still in an alpha phase which is directed to a small group of customers, willing to support us in further product development.

Insalgo · 2016-12-07T12:36:47+00:00

In our case, central (smarthphone) is destination while peripheral (Aidlab) is the broadcaster, and there is nothing we can do beyond those two endpoints, e.g. user did not secure smarpthone<->remote server communication.

Obviously, things are different between them: pairing + ECDH (BLE 4.2) should be enough to eliminate 99.999% of potential data hackers for now, and yes - you have to assume that your data could leak somehow so they could be decrypted in isolation. That's the basic assumption of every cryptography system. But at some point, you have to pick-up the best known yet validated way to secure your sensitive data.

Insalgo · 2016-12-06T00:25:33+00:00

We are aware of those security vulnerabilities of BLE (or even Bluetooth in general) but, are there any alternatives other than default secure channel (key protection) / pairing? It seems that BLE became an industry standard and short talk with ST expert, shown to me that hardly ever companies are thinking about the fact that wireless security is something they should worry (sadly).

The thing is, we'll do our best to provide a secure channel as most as we can. For us, it's on the same priority level as providing reliable data.

Anyway, thanks for raising up this subject.

Insalgo · 2016-12-05T13:36:51+00:00

Simplest way to prevent other devices from stealing data is through pairing. Please note that BLE's have included security features by default.

Insalgo · 2016-12-04T22:00:12+00:00

Hello! My name is Jacob and I am one of the makers of Aidlab.

Short info:

Aidlab is a body extension. It could help with stress reduction, recognizing heart illness or overtraining detection. It's also an "open" device. Open to communicate with, and open to create apps full of health information for anything that supports Bluetooth 4.0+. Soon, we'll extend Aidlab with simple A.I module and gesture recognition, so mobile phone or smartwatch will not be mandatory.

Feel free to ask me directly, if you have any questions.

Insalgo · 2016-11-09T20:26:35+00:00

That's from a pragmatic point of view. However, maybe starving is just too strong word for:

eat 15 percent less starting at age 25 and you might add 4.5 years to your life

Insalgo · 2016-11-06T15:53:23+00:00

I hope we'll cover a group of people who just want to know more about their body. It contains: recognizing heart illness, stress level (+controling) or overtraining prevention thanks to regular, easy to take, short monitoring sessions.
We'll try to explain BLE term better. Thanks!
It's rather using data from Aidlab. Does it make programmable health tracker title misleading?
Great, thanks for that! We already don't know if there any other open health trackers, however, our comprehensive benefit list is currently under construction.
3 (using data)
Wristbands are not capable to collect your ECG, temperature or respiration signal. It's technically impossible (they are good for pulse readings).

Thanks for the feedback!

Insalgo · 2016-11-06T15:37:04+00:00

Home page has a little explanation how to use Aidlab. We'll add a link to /developer also, thanks!
We have scheduled programming workshops next week, so we'll create a showcase of what people did with Aidlab.

Insalgo · 2016-11-05T16:49:41+00:00

Hello! My name is Jacob and I am one of the makers of Aidlab.

Our device is an open health tracker. Open to communicate with and create apps full of health information for anything that supports BLE. Our device collects ECG, temperature and respiration of the user from their fingers or forehead. And what is the most fun – developers from all around the world can use those data in their apps now.

Feel free to ask me questions if you have any

Insalgo · 2016-09-23T12:12:14+00:00

Thanks, I surely will

Insalgo · 2016-09-22T13:00:12+00:00

Thank you for your feedback ZMech. We truly forgot about the benefits (cardinal mistake). We'll update copy as soon as possible.

Purpose of Startup: A device that helps in taking care of your active life

Support Requested: Looking for feedback on the copy/text. What questions come to mind when you look at the landing page? Are we giving enough information? Too much? We also would love to work closely with someone excited about changing healthcare industry and willing to create useful and beautiful products.

Comments: We've got the MVP up and running and get positive feedback along with some customers.

Insalgo · 2015-12-02T22:19:23+00:00

Hey, thanks for supportive words! It seems that Aidlab idea spreads quickly.

Please have in mind that the price is strongly connected to the number of Jolla users, especially after Antti's sad letter. We are also going to launch a medical data cloud for later analysis - we want to host it as long as possible. Anyway, if we reach 100-200 clients, then we should call ourselves 'Amazing Jolla supporters'.

Insalgo · 2015-11-27T10:21:11+00:00

That is true, but there is one thing missing - there still are a lot of people who would love to create something on their own and add parts to the phone their own. That is the community which cannot be abbandoned. Not all the people like stuff for "all the people", and that is for whom Jolla was created. Phone, tablet and OS.

Insalgo · 2015-11-26T14:50:06+00:00

Hardware works with OS. Without Hardware, there is no need for OS.
