#2The UI is very nice, very interesting. I am curious if this could fit with the Microsoft Band.

#3Super cool theme. The company seems to be at https://gyrosco.pe/. They lost me at the facebook login, but it made me think about privacy and user-defined privacy a bit.
Gyroscope's pitch says you can share or instead keep everything private. I think a service like this would be a lot more appealing to me (and it is undeniably cool) if the data were kept encrypted on server, and only available on my end device.
I suppose the same thing could be done with some sort of multiparty destination encryption for sharing.
Until then, my data is just getting monetized for any party that will pay gyroscope. Any comments from your team, aprilzero?

#4Big change since v2, congratulations. Any plans to commercialize? Would like to see this applied to athletic team performance monitoring.

#5How will you measure Glucose levels?

#6Looks sharp, definitely a lot of great work on design.
I just can't seem to see the value in it; what actionable or information do you get out of this? I've tracked my movements with OpenPaths [1] in the past and had fun building a couple data visualizations out of it (I love the fact that others can request access to anonymized data collected by OpenPaths).
I just have no anecdotal or empirical evidence of users putting this data to good use. If anything, folks I've seen using Fitbit/FuelBand could use a bit more exercise and a better diet. People tracking their sleep activity tend to stay late and have poor sleeping habits (for example).
Do you really need a fancy dissection of your every move and interaction to even know what you should be doing with yourself?

Haven't signed up, but https://gyrosco.pe/features/helix/ indicates there's a "Pro" version.

Agreed. This is the problem with pretty much all "health trackers": how actionable are the data and visualization? Yes, you need to measure stuff to improve it, but still, a step counter is like a website hit counter and has little actionable value in and of itself.

#9I was just thinking about the UI on a lot of shows/movies and how rarely we see any UI like it in the real world. Even those 'FBI databases mainframes...' that a character hacked into do not look anything like that in real life.
This is pretty cool and fits in well in 'Hollywood'. Now I want to find a project that I can actually use a similar UI on haha.

One of my university professors always said: "No metrics, no movement."
The opportunity to add value is by intersecting the metrics. As a software engineer who likes to work in cafes, I'd like to know at which cafe I have the highest commit frequency. As a coffee drinker, I'd like to know at which cafe my resting heart rate is the highest (strongest cup!)
