Provide a method for importing data

[aproposnix]

As a user, I would like to be able to import the data from my various devices (esp., smart scale, Fitness Trackers, pressure cuffs, etc).

There is already a ticket (#17 )for importing gadgetbridge data, but this request goes a little further than that as it would allow for any type of import.

Since you would need to have some kind of standard, I would recommend open mHealth schema.

Thanks for the hint. I was looking for some standard Schema like that! Steps are the modules for the topics and providing them an import and api interface.

No problem. If you need any help with use cases i can probably help. I've been researching this topic for the past few years.

Im not a developer though but an IT business analyst (among other things :)

What is your idea for the direction of this project?

Help for use cases and business thinking are always welcome.

I saw your app for a pain-diary... interesting.

Well I try to outline my ideas for this app:

First, I'm on the way to get familiar with the new way of coding witch vuejs the (new) environment with the nextcloud context. I'm not a professional developer.

But what I want to do is to serve an alternative to all the known apps for health and fitness data that send the data to other countries nobody can control. I see a big advantage for nextcloud as a privacy by design project to put health data here inside.

Use-cases for now:

• track your health data you want to know for yourself, make it transparent to look at your heath over time.
• Generate exports for yourself or a doctor.
• see dependencies between different health parameters, e.g. weight-loss or growing in combination with your feeling at the time or fitness activities or blood pressure... in my mind I can see charts over the different modules and topics
• controls yourself with notifications e.g. for taking medicine, taking breaks

Milestones for now:

• [ ] Create version 1 to get the dev and publish process running
• [ ] Create a set of modules with basic functionality that can be used
• [ ] Individual Charts about all data from different modules to get "health dependencies"
• [ ] Create import and export functions for data as csv as interface to other apps
• [ ] Create an API to get data in (and maybe out) the app automatically
• [ ] Many more to come: Motivation Programms, sharing people/module data, ...

Planed modules so far:

• [x] weight: all about your weight
• [ ] feeling: all about your feeling and tracking for mood, pain, attacks and so on
• [ ] Breaks: Remember yourself for taking breaks. Send yourself a ping via the notification functions, also possible via the native mobile apps; breaks are breaths, drinking a glass of water and doing some mindful exercises
• [ ] Medicine: diary about medicine to take and what you really took; notification service
• [ ] Activities: all about fitness and sport
• [ ] Food: all about eating, calories, ...

...okay, I guess the next 5 years are full.

A great open-source app for weight measurement which also allows pulling data from a multitude of bluetooth scales is oliexdev/openScale. There have been a few requests for backups/exports (https://github.com/oliexdev/openScale/issues/236 and https://github.com/oliexdev/openScale/issues/338) so I'd see that as a natural connection with this nextcloud app.

Coming from #23, I have started experimenting with Nextcloud Workflows as a way to (bulk) import data. #28 might benefit from workflows as well, I am still a an very early stage, though.

One thing that we will need along the way is an endpoint

• to bulk import masurements using INSERT and
• to bulk import measurements using INSERT/UPDATE.

The latter would be convenient especially in cases where the source does not give you an easy delta export.
