I've been building something similar, allowing anyone to track _anything_ about themselves or their daily life in pretty graphs: http://ontrack.io/ I've also built a very extensible API for it from the beginning: http://ontrack.io/api

Is there a demo of it that's up for people to see?

Here's a screenshot example: http://imgur.com/S8IzLRe

We've just enabled third-party app support via our API and have a pretty powerful personal dashboard https://api.howareyou.com/ and https://howareyou.com/ – we're still working on integrating different applications and devices, but using our API, there is no reason why you or any other developer can't add your own.

Very nice documentation! Mind sharing how you are generating your API documentation? Edit: Looks like it is Swagger. https://developers.helloreverb.com/swagger/

fyi, it seems I can't get it to work on Google App Engine (because of Scala dependency I think)

You have a little bit of a problem with the beating heart animation -- it's jumped out of it's container and is on the border, and I'm running chrome 28

Thanks for catching that, I've made an issue for it :)

I recently bought a fitbit, their online dashboard is pretty similar and you get access without a monthly fee. I'm pretty sure you can sign up and try it without getting a fitbit tracker, but the tracker is pretty nifty and it lights up the dashboard with all your info.

I've been using mine for two months and I love it. They have an data API http://dev.fitbit.com/ and said they may open a hardware one too.

I got a flex a month ago and I love it! I don't use the silent alarm feature, because I'm a light sleeper and I wake up when I wake up. The food log is a feature that I thought I won't use, but I am. Wish I also had a heart monitor.

I'd pay a monthly fee for a service that let me create one of these and integrate it with the various workout/personal stats apps/gadgets/services. An app like Moves + a sleep monitor + a workout tracking app + a diet tracker all on one dashboard would be really neat.

That looks really nice. The demo and some of the ideas seem to good to be true. I'm not sure my doctor spends her time scanning a social network for status updates to decide who to drop in on.

my company open mhealth is building an open software architecture for digital health data. we want to make it easier to be able to integrate data from siloed applications so we can tell the patient story in a coherent and data driven way. check out the spec https://github.com/openmhealth/developer/wiki/DSU-API-1.0-Be...

That's a fair point, however, we're seeing a lot of social engagement from a community care aspect (chronic care / long-term conditions / nurses / mental health etc.)
