Fitnesstracker with export function
#1
Dear Community,
I'm looking for a fitness-tracker bracelet which provides an export function where i can get my pulse, step number, etc in a csv-format.

Dos anybody uses knows a tracker which can do this?

I've already googled but not really found what i want.

The csv-dataset should be in this shape (or can easily bring into):

date,time,pulse,steps,distance,calories,...
...
...


The reason why I'm asking is, that i want a new data-science-project which is a real life problem.

My Goal is to read maybe my emotions like nervous or relaxed out of the dataset, or identify a correlation between pulse and the number of steps, and so on


thank you in advance

If you find one, let me know. I've been looking for one for a while (not very strenuously). They don't want to give you your data, they want to monetize it. And very few of their customers are willing to analyze their own data like you and me. They just want pretty graphs that tell them their doing well.

I did see one data tracking device (time management, not fitness) that would give you your data if you were part of their paid subscription service. I didn't want to pay, and besides, they were running the data through Google and Facebook first. I don't know if any of the fitness trackers have subscription plans like that.

Thanks ichabod801 for your quick answer!

I maybe found a good opportunity to get the hearth rate data! Surely you know the FitBit fitness-tracker, usally you need a development account but the website "squashleagues.org" (https://www.squashleagues.org/Fitbit/FitbitDataDownload) provides a possibility to get them without to pay to FidBit.

The data looks like this:
HEART RATE DATE/TIME,VALUE
2/05/2018 12:11,117
...
...

it has a resolution with about ~20 data per minute!
You can also download sleepdata, wightdata and activitydata in separated csv-files and the rest of the data you can normally download via your fitbit account.


I will try it out in the next weeks/months. The price for a FitBit bracelet starts at around 80 Euro.

There is repo on this topic - Quantified Self (QS) Ledger (A Personal Data Aggregator and Dashboard for Self-Trackers and Quantified Self Enthusiasts)

There is Fitbit integration listed. Maybe you can get some ideas or inspiration.

I haven't used it yet, so I can't vouch for it - but there is a third party Python interface for accessing your Fitbit account via the Fitbit API.
