quant
An open-source Rails API for tracking quantified self data like weight, sleep, meals, and locations from various hardware devices.
What is quant?
Quant is an open-source Rails API that serves as a personal health tracker for quantified self data. It allows users to store metrics like weight, sleep, meals, and locations from devices like Withings scales and Fitbit trackers in their own database. The project aims to prevent data lock-in by hardware companies and give users full control over their personal health information.
Quantified self enthusiasts, health hackers, and developers who use devices like Withings, Fitbit, or Jawbone and want to centralize their data in a self-hosted system. It's also suitable for developers building health-tracking applications who need a backend API.
Quant offers a free, open-source alternative to proprietary health data platforms, ensuring users retain ownership and control of their data. Its RESTful API and planned Docker support make it easy to self-host and integrate with various hardware devices and services.
Overview
Quant is a prototype/experiment of a personal health tracker. Rails drives the operation.
