About Hosting

Self-hosted platform to unify wearable health data through one AI-ready API.

open-wearables is a open-source platform that unifies wearable device data from multiple providers and enables AI-powered health insights through natural language automations. Build health applications faster with a single API, embeddable widgets, and intelligent webhook notifications.

Common Use Cases

• 🏃 Fitness Coaching Apps: Connect user wearables to provide personalized training recommendations. Running coaches can create users, share connection links via WhatsApp, and test AI insights capabilities
• 🏥 Healthcare Platforms: Aggregate patient health data from various devices and set up automations for health alerts
• 💪 Wellness Applications: Track and analyze user activity across different wearables with AI-powered insights
• 🔬 Research Projects: Collect standardized health data from multiple sources
• 🧪 Product Pilots: Non-technical product owners can test platform functionality by sharing connection links with users without needing their own app
• 👤 Personal Use: Individuals can self-host the platform to connect their own wearables, chat with their health data using the AI Health Assistant, and set up personal health insights - all with complete data privacy and control
