How is the bio data collected (by what device)?

Mood, sleep, steps, and calories burned are tracked using a JawboneUP and pulled down hourly from the JawboneAPI.

Weight, and heart rate are tracked using a Withings Smart Body Analyzer and pulled down hourly from the WithingsAPI

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the author is using Withings: http://withings.com/

No idea this existed, is it me or does Withings look way more awesome than the Nike+ gear?

Different. Nike+ is more about exercise and sports motivation, Withings is more about the data. I feel inspired to workout with Nike+, Withings just gives me the data I want.

Shouldn't the quality be calculated doing DeepSleep/TotalSleep as opposed to LightSleep/TotalSleep?

I thought the same as you at first. But the "sleep quality" metric I'm using here is provided back from the JawboneAPI. It's yielded from some oddly weighted formula Jawbone uses.

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.

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.

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 have an aria, not a fitbit, and it's pretty cool. I really really really want integration with mint.com though, then you'd be able to track the fitness goals vs money spent, and come up with an optimized plan for everything.
