Android app to manually log personal health data

Question

I have a body composition monitor and a blood pressure monitor that can measure various health parameters. What I'd need is an Android app that, for a given day and time, would enable me to input the following data by hand:

• Weight
• BMI
• Body Fat
• Skeletal muscle
• Resting metabolism
• Visceral fat
• Systolic blood pressure
• Diastolic blood pressure
• Pulse rate

The data collected should be saved on the device in a open human-readable text file (ideally CSV) so that I can easily import it into a spreadsheet.

A plus would be the ability to upload (automatically) the data on the cloud (e.g. on Dropbox) and plot charts of those parameters over time directly in the app.

I'd prefer a free or open source app, but I could also choose a paid app if it meets all my requirements.

I know I could just use a spreadsheet, but I'd like to have something more mobile-friendly that can be used on a phone with a good user experience.

Answer 1

It looks like that such app does not exist (yet). Most apps allow for the collection of either the blood pressure and pulse rate or weight and BMI. A few apps can track both but that's not enough for me since I need to log extra parameters such as body fat, etc..

In the end, even though it's not what I wanted to use, I'll log the data using a spreadsheet on the device. Basically, it's just a simple table where each row contains the date, time and the measurement for each parameter. It's not ideal but actually not too bad: using Google Sheets for Android I've created and prepared the spreadsheet on my desktop computer, making sure the cells are of the right size when read/edited on a smartphone.

The spreadsheet is accessible on the device even when it's offline ("Keep offline" option) and can be easily downloaded on a desktop computer for all the processing required (e.g. creation of charts).
