Open MHealth Shimmer

1

Hi folks,

Has anyone used the Shimmer component of Open MHealth at all, in particular with the more recent Fitbits and Withings scales. I am curious if there is any data Shimmer does not make available that the devices actually provide. I am interested in getting one of the Fitbits that can do the heart monitoring in the watch itself, also interested in the sleep tracking (such as it is).

Thanks!

Looks like they haven’t added support for reading any heart rate data from Fitbit yet, and the sleep data includes the duration only: https://github.com/openmhealth/shimmer/tree/master/shim-server/src/main/java/org/openmhealth/shim/fitbit/mapper. Should be easy to add, as long as it fits into their schema…
