Microsoft HealthVault has recently announced that is is open to anyone who wants to create an app for its program, so perhaps someone will hear your plea. On the other hand, go check out the latest Tanita scale. It works with MS HealthVault, might save you one login!

This post has been stuck in my head for two weeks because I know this frustration so well.

In my case I have a cycling coach who sends me workouts using his company's online web app.

I have used TrainingPeaks for so long that it has a great historical record of my training, so every week I copy and paste all my workouts from the coaching app into TP.

I also use a Garmin bike computer that is awesome for managing intervals and structured workouts, so in the same weekly session I copy my workouts into Garmin's software to upload to the bike computer.

At the end of each ride I upload the workout data into TrainingPeaks and enter summary information in the coaching app.

And still all of this data lives in my workout calendar(s) and not my regular calendar, nor does it have any way to get there except through more copy/pasting.

Somebody please build something so all these applications can and *will* talk to each other.

Grr.

Thanks for the blast from the past. I used FitSense for about a year until they went out of business. I probably still have a FitSense footpad somewhere.

That's exactly what I've been talking about… let's use Brad as the example. He hooks up a heart rate monitor, blood pressure cuff and even a blood sugar meter to his body. Each of these devices communicate to his mobile device which then sends the data directly to any web service (don't need Google and IBM for this).

For the techies the three headers added to the outgoing web service request would be:

http_x_brad_feld_blood_pressure="data goes here"
http_x_brad_feld_blood_sugra="data goes here"
http_x_brad_feld_heart_rate="data goes here"

Now all the web service does is read the headers and extract the data.

Now if you want to have some fun we just need to ask Google and or IBM for some API's to their apps (5o9 already has this built so developers can build their own apps). Now with those API's you simply have the Google app talk to your web service vs. sending all of your data to them.

This is much more critical in the Enterprise because they really don't want to hand over data to Google or other consumer focused web services.

This approach even works for the channel who right now are experiencing "compressed" margins and their customers renegotiate over web service costs. They can now offer them a differentiator which brings back the overall margin on the deal.

Mobile is the perfect conduit to the web. It's personal and it's with you all the time. All you have to do is make the web service aware of your context.

It's all about the meta data.

Cheers,

Peter
