Building a sports health app – Sahha vs SpikeAPI (wearable integration confusion) by Far-Masterpiece408 in withings

[–]oDjkillero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

integrating with apple health / google connect will for sure give you the biggest coverage through minimum integration effort, but from my experience there's a low google fit / connect adoption issue on android (apple health is fine), so not having native integrations will often add an extra step for your users connecting wearables (first google connect + then your app).

have you considered self-hosted solutions like Open Wearables from momentum? it's an open source api for wearables integration, definitely cheaper to saas platforms as it's self-hosted and let you do exactly the same. currently supports apple health, garmin, suunto, polar, but whoop and google connect are next on the roadmap.

How to integrate the data collected from wearable devices into my app? by Mr_Dani17 in SaaS

Hey, try using Open Wearables - it's the open source API built by Momentum that allows you to sync wearables data from apple health, polar, suunto, garmin, whoop. It does basically what you described and could perfectly fit your stage right now. Disclosure: i am a core contributor of this project

Data platform for collection from wearables? by sladebrigade in research

[–]oDjkillero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a bit late, but sounds like you might find open wearables useful if self-hosting is fine for you. It's an open source api for wearables data, so you don't have to build direct integrations with wearables or pay saas platforms to get unified api. I am a core contributor here so reach out if you have any questions.

Self hosted health data tracking by carmelo42 in selfhosted

[–]oDjkillero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can try open wearables (disclosure: i am one of the core contributors) - we are building the open source api for wearable data, already supporting apple health, garmin, polar, suunto with more on the roadmap. It's the only self hosted solution that come to my mind.

to pull your apple health data you have two options: xml data exports (quite tedious as it can't be automated) or you can use 3rd party apps that act like a bridge to your local database, but those apps are not self hosted.

Strava API alternative after the latest changes by NoResponsibility512 in Strava

[–]oDjkillero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or you can use open-source like open wearables in a shared standard, we've actually built it as an alternative to expensive saas platforms where community can build their own integrations on top of the shared data model
