This week’s Quantified Self roundup features a mood tracker, a collaboration to improve wellness tracking, and a mobile ECG coming to the US.

HAPItrack

From the makers of HAPIfork, the connected utensil that helps people lose weight, has another product that lets people track their moods.  The HAPItrack is a small tracking device that looks a lot like a Tamagotchi toy.  It tracks the steps you’ve taken, the distance you’ve travelled, workout time and calories burned, all in real time to motivate your daily objectives.

Aside from sending you pep alerts to keep you going, there’s a physical button you can hit when you feel happy.  Press it somewhere between 1-10 seconds to determine how happy you are — the longer you press, the happier the little face on the HAPItrack device gets.  All the data gathered are neatly organized in your HAPILABS dashboard, which you can access via the web or mobile app.

SocialWellth + Validic collaboration

At the fifth annual mHealth Summit in Washington DC, SocialWellth, a digital health social engagement company, and Validic, an mHealth active device data integrator, announced a partnership enabling healthcare sponsors to access meaningful data from mHealth apps and devices, all in an effort to deliver a hyper-connected experience to their members.

It is expected that more wellness and health related apps and devices will emerge in the coming years, so the main point of this collaboration is to help people get the best app for their needs.  SocialWellth’s mWellth App Curation and Certification Program helps consumers navigate the largely unregulated industry of health and wellbeing apps.

“My vision of digital curation is all about pulling together, sifting through disparate data and artifacts and uniquely positioning for presentation ‘Just In Time,’ ” said David Vinson, Founder, and CEO of SocialWellth. “Leveraging Validic’ s active device data connector, which currently supports over 80 integrations including Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike+, and Withings, transforms the ways in which we collaborate and innovate.”

eMotion ECG Mobile

Speaking of health and wellness devices, the eMotion ECG Mobile device has been cleared by the FDA as a Class 2 medical device which means the Finnish product may soon be available in the US to compete with other mobile ECGs.

The eMotion is a 3-lead wireless ECG that is designed to be prescribed by a doctor to be worn continuously under a patient’s clothing for continuous monitoring.  ECG readings are sent to the user’s Android device via Bluetooth, and that data is then sent over the mobile network to a server which the clinician can access by using a web browser.  The system will send an immediate alert to the physician if it detects any abnormal readings, and quickly inform the patient.  The users also has the option of turning the device’s GPS on so if anything unfortunate happens, the first responders will know where to find the person by tracking his whereabouts.

The whole point of the Quantified Self revolution is identifying what can help you achieve a better version of yourself.  eMotion, though it is a mobile ECG device and not a fitness tracker, allows your physician to monitor your wellbeing and make improvements on your life based on the data acquired by the tracker.
