Technical Info

Once installed, the health.boot.js hooks onto the Bangle.health event and writes data to a binary file (one per month).

A library (that can be used with require("health").readXYZ can then be used to grab historical health info.

boot.js and lib.js include some constants that don't get inlined by the simple minifier used in the App Loader, so we use the closure compiler to pre-minify them. The easiest way to use it is to install https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs and run EspruinoDocs/bin/minify.js lib.js lib.min.js

TODO

• interface page for desktop to allow data to be viewed and exported in common formats
• More features in app:
  • Step counting goal (ensure pedometers use this)
  • Calendar view showing steps per day
