Support for loading data from meters about dj-diabetes HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks. I'll have a look at all of this. If i could help with improvements that will be a pleasure

Hi,

I read your post more precisely, and have questions:

• What do you need, to use that project if it covers a part of your needs ?

• Do you search a tool/soft that automatically synchronizes the data of the device that collects your health state and displays a graph of anything you want ?

• The manufacturer does not provide such a thing ?
  if no, how could we get the data from the device ?

If data can be collected, we can try to build another project that follow more precisely your needs (and may be the needs of many more diabetic people)

Just tell me :)
Regards

Hi,

Sorry to say, I haven't really taken a look at this project yet - I'm getting a MSc in Data Science right now and the work all last year was more than I thought it'd be. And this semester looks worse.

I submitted this issue to provide some suggestions - I guess I was interested to see a web type app that handles the usual functionality of what all the different diabetes related software do. A web app is a lot more ... useful? than some closed source mobile phone app or SaaS system you have to sign up to. For privacy conscious consumers who are not technical, but don't want to be submitting their health data to some corporation, a Django based web site that could be rolled up into a Docker image or AWS free tier based sort of thing would be useful - personal web sites for non-tech people, etc. Or a simple install of Nginx, etc that runs on one's PC. Maybe that is a key idea - how can non-technical people easily install and use the system you are building?

As far as I know, manufacturers of blood glucose meters don't really offer tech specs on how the meters transfer data - closed source Windows drivers etc. With that info, a developer could easily write something to get data from the meter as they see fit. So that is the biggest tech issue I see. I'm sure there is info available somewhere, and at the very least, some hardware reverse engineering to decode the protocol is always possible - I bet someone has, I just haven't looked for it.

I will look at this Django app when I get a chance and give you some more feedback - I have a lot of work this semester, and then it's the dissertation...

I've noticed that there are a lot of projects that add a lot of tracking and smart capabilities for type 1 diabetics on insulin pumps, but not many that cater for us that still use the manual blood tests. There is significant fragmentation among the various providers of pumps on how data is kept and transferred on these devices, but I've noticed that lately a lot of them appear to be moving to general USB storage device and CSV files (I can provide some files for example) that should theoretically be importable (they are nothing but standard CSV files).

This project is great that it will allow me to enter data from pretty much any device that has an internet connection, but to be able to import a CSV file would be interesting!

from dj-diabetes.

Yes that will be wonderful to have that possibility.
If you could provider an exttact of a CVS file i'll be glad to make an import process.
If you could also give the model of your pump, thus, may be someone else could use the project or would contribute by sharing à CVS file related to his/her pump
Thanks

To be reopened once news info will be provided

from dj-diabetes.

I read https://github.com/openaps/openaps/blob/master/README.md and saw that the app can work with devices. As i don't have any, I can't go thurthere more. If you could provide data from the commands:

openaps report invoke

or

openaps-use pump
