We are attempting to aggregate and index people's health tracking data using our proprietary algorithm into one healthy living score. Would love feedback on UX as well as general concept.

Thank you, Mac

Awesome work.

I have been working on an open source API to accomplish similar things (specifically just re: aggregation of data from disparate sources): https://github.com/jdjkelly/quantify

It's Rails + Postgres, and so far aggregates meal, weight, and sleep data from Withings and Fitbit - but I've been focussed on building out a framework to easily aggregate many, many more sources.

Maybe we could find a project to work on together - contact is in my profile.

Metric system option would be nice too.

Yeah, we are working on that update right now. Hopefully will be releasing that within the next week.

Really appreciate the feedback!

Any chance of Sleep as Android integration?

We have actually had a few people mention that recently and I definitely want to look more into it. How has your experience been with it?

Which trackers do you sync with? Could you list them here, I think that would be helpful. I also found this helpful http://blog.nudgeyourself.com/health-tech-and-food-nerd-blog...

Trying to signup it asks for my weight but doesn't say what unit of measurement is expected.

Unfortunately it is only in lbs right now - metric coming later this week though. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for pointing that out!
