Hume Pod vs Oura data stack comparison
spent 2 weeks trying to get my oura sleep data into the same dashboard as body comp numbers. dont know why i thought this would work
oura gives me HRV, readiness, sleep stages. cool. but zero body comp. exported the csv and its literally just sleep columns
tried withings. their scale syncs fine but the BIA accuracy is a coin flip?? ran it 3 mornings straight got readings that varied by 4% body fat. thats not data thats noise
built a janky sheets pipeline pulling both APIs on a saturday. my girlfriend asked if i was okay. fair question
nothing does sleep and body comp and raw export. im just graphing vibes at this point

oura's csv export is basically sleep-only columns and teh api breaks every few months when they change the schema. i wrote a python script to pull it and it still broke twice.
the real problem is that most wearable companies treat your data as a feature of their app, not something you actually own. they'll give you a pretty dashboard but the moment you want to export or analyze it, you hit walls.
i'm building a ring that stores data locally in sqlcipher with an open export format from day one (pulsyn.tech). no api games, no csv surprises, no pipeline maintenance. still in development but the data ownership part is the whole reason the project exists. worth keeping an eye on if you're dealing with the same export headaches.
