In the press releases for the Band, the Band is described as a device that will send data to Healthvault for analysis by Azure based computational platforms, not unlike the IBM Watson system, to report trends/correlations and report meaningful insights to the user.
However, obviously the Health App and Band aren't currently transferring data anywhere in a cloud computing platform at least in any way that end users have access to see and work with the data.
Does this mean we're essentially just providing a test data set for them to optimize/validate key aspects of the platform?
It seems silly that we can't easily do something as simple as marking some life event/health change, health status, diet or exercise change and asking questions like - is my calory burn or heart rate higher/lower following the event? Do I get more restful sleep after changing my exercise schedule? Etc, etc.
Going through several intermediate steps e.g. Runtastic seems unnecessary and clunky, but there must be some reason this functionality isn't currently available.
I'm really hoping for tools that allow some real analysis beyond just looking at the long list in the activity history that currently exists in the app.
Anyone have any thoughts on where this is going? Would be a waste for MS to not flesh out the platform more fully after getting this far.
