What Hacker News says?
I couldn’t agree more. Excess body fat is a problem throughout the world. Well, it significantly increases the risk of a number of chronic diseases, such as type-2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and hypertension. It is estimated that approximately 20% of people are overweight and that close to 300 million are obese. At https://www.aidlab.com we are aiming to spread awareness of the impact that body fat lead to our or…

HN discussionHow to sell to developers: 1. Go to your local Hackerspace (or makerspace). If you don't have a Hackerspace in your city - create one. 2. Sit there with your target audience. Don't be pushy. 3. Solve their problem with your solution, in real-time. Also, you should spend like half of my time on Meetup.com and try to attend all possible dev-oriented events where you could pitch my product. Time consuming, but rewardin…

HN discussionHow about teaching them about health? We've recently started to teach kids with the use of Aidlab ( https://www.aidlab.com/developer ) to show them some basics about heart, lungs or motion data. They are able to measure themselves, develop simple apps thanks to Unity engine, and make use of those data (ex. building games that use respiration level to control game character).

HN discussionSome time ago we've developed a nice hackable platform for geeks: https://www.aidlab.com/developer - it's based on wearable called Aidlab. With our free SDK (that has Python, Unity, iOS and Android bindings), you are able to do with your data whatever you want.

HN discussionHow cool! I always felt that for complicated workout routine it's much easier to have someone counting reps for you instead. Shameless plug - we've developed push-ups detector based on orientation&accelerometer from 9-axis motion sensor: https://www.aidlab.com/blog/workout-detector-in-python

on “Push-ups with Python, mediapipe and OpenCV”We are actively using Web Bluetooth within our hardware debugging ecosystem ( https://www.aidlab.com/developer/debug ) for our wearable. It plays great role, as: * It's multiplatform. * You can rapidly upload the changes (it's web) * Bluetooth 4.0+ is faster than semihosting (and Bluetooth 5 even more). * You don't have to use wires. but what worries me is that there is a visible slowdown in the development of Web B…

on “Real Time Continuous Blood Monitoring”@mettamage, maybe Aidlab will fit in your needs ( https://www.aidlab.com -> check Aidlab for Developers part) - it's an open health tracker (open to communicate with and create apps full of body information for anything that supports Bluetooth 4). SDK supports Python, Unity, iOS and Android bindings.

on “Fitbit Firmware Modifications and Data Extraction [video]”What we've tested with our platform ( https://www.aidlab.com/developer ) was to reach out as many as possible local geeks/hackers and ask them to play with our device. We stopped coding, manufacturing, prototyping etc for like 2 months, just to show our poor designed, glitchy prototype (it was far far away from the MVP). So we have presented them what's going on inside in-depth, what are the possibilities, and what…

on “Things to do before your project dies”I am working on programmable J.A.R.V.I.S. Currently, it could help with stress reduction, recognizing heart illness or overtraining detection. It's also an "open" device. Open to communicate with, and open to create apps full of health information for anything that supports Bluetooth 4.0+. Soon, I'll extend Aidlab with simple A.I module and gesture recognition, so mobile phones or the smartwatches will not be mandat…
