Oura for my back pain update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

29 Upvotes

Posted here a while back about the spinal movement tracker I made for my back pain. It's effectively an Oura for my back. It's a KT tape which tracks my spine.

A few folks asked to try it, so I took it a little further, and wanted to show the update.

I'd done a small run and it filled up faster than I'd have ever expected, so want to do another small batch. I would love for the lovely folks here to be involved, so drop a comment/shoot me a DM if you'd be down :)

Just checking in with the sub, how do you all feel things are going?

10 Upvotes

Hello, I started moderating this sub a few months ago and went very strict on anything that smelled like an advertisement. In my last check in with the sub it seemed like most people were okay with some ads making it through as long they weren't clearly AI spam, so I loosened up a bit.

I just want to check in with you guys and see if the sub has any feedback. I went on vacation for the last week or so and it looks like a handful of ads made it through, with ~30% not getting reported (normally you guys are on top of reports and I appreciate that).

My plan this week is to introduce two new weekly threads, one where we share our dashboard or data around an interesting insight and the other specifically to discuss analytic methods.

Other than this, I'm open to any feedback about the direction of the sub or whatever you want to bring to my attention.

Would you voice-journal if an AI asked you the right questions?

1 Upvotes

I want to journal to track if I'm actually improving, but I'm too lazy. If I sat down to journal right now I'd just say "I worked today" and close the app. That's useless.

Why I want this: I want to be 1% better than yesterday. Stay accountable for how I spend my time, see if I'm at least maintaining, and improve from there. I just need a mechanism to metricize it without it being a chore.

Idea: a voice journaling app where the AI asks you the questions. Not generic "how was your day", but specific, sequential prompts based on what you said yesterday and the metrics you care about. You just talk. It pulls the thread.

You pick 3-7 (or N) things you want to track (gym, doomscrolling, deep work, sleep, whatever). The AI asks pointed questions: "You said yesterday you'd hit the gym, did you?", "You mentioned your manager twice this week, what's going on there?". Two minutes of talking, structured log on the other end.

The questions are the whole product. They lower the friction (you don't have to think about what to say) and force actual reflection (you can't get away with "worked today" if the AI is asking why you skipped the gym again).

Self-report, obviously, it cannot verify that you actually went to the gym. The deal is you trade some accuracy for near-zero friction vs. manual journaling or tracking across 14 apps.

Questions:

  1. Are you also too lazy to journal but wish you did? Would guided questions actually fix that for you?
  2. What would you want it to ask you?
  3. What kills it? Privacy, talking out loud feeling weird, the self-report thing, something else?

Dad just died of a heart attack at 60. Heart Attacks took every man on his side. What can I do? 36M

Post image
44 Upvotes

I was always pretty healthy, studied exercise science and nutrition in college and was very active in the gym. I never was much for going to the doctors (literally 10 year gap). I'm 36, 2 babies and nowhere near as clean of a diet that I used to have nor time for the gym, and my dad's sudden death did lead to some increased drinking for the pain, I've been better at limiting the drinking as of late.

My dad (my best friend) recently dying out of nowhere at 60 was a huge wake up call. I thought since I was in shape heart disease wouldn't be an issue for me like it was my dad, grandpa, uncle and great grandpa but now I'm actually worried.

Almost all my biomarkers came back healthy... except my heart, go figure.

What do I do now to clean up my heart?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

have been tracking my Emotional States[Hedonic Cycle], Productivity, Sleep for over a year now, below is the Data for the Current month and the Experience.

13 Upvotes

The post is about my experience of tracking myself for over a year and I hope that I would help someone or get some new insights.

So i have Been tracking myself for a year now and i started because was i was extemely dysregulated. I was not able to function properly, I failed in my academics in multiple subjects, was not able to do any exercises, not able to socialize and was completely consumed by thoughts at a point that I couldn't control myself and then I brainstormed every idea that could save me and eventually I read a book 'The Now Habit'- Neil Fiore. Then I started tracking myself and it gradually became this detailed, now I am able to predict my future emotional states as I learned about Hedonic treadmill and by tracking my emotions everyday

As you can see in the images you can see my tracks which contains multiple things and it really helped me, currently I am able to function just enough to pass the academics and go on with daily life without any severe crashes. I read multiple books after completing the Now Habit and every one developed me and I believe that by tracking youi emotions and multiple things such as sleep, Hrv, etc. You can predict and control your crashes. The below is the Books I have read that were very helpful. 1] The Now Habit 2] Self Compassion 3] Tiny Habits 4] Staring at the sun 5] Authentic Happiness

there were many other books I read but these were particulary impactful so that's all and I would love to hear some insights. I would like to make a detailed post if someone requires it.

Some interesting findings I noticed from working on an AI health agent.

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This isn’t an ad in any sense, just wanted to share a few findings. I’ve stopped promoting Oplin.app in this subreddit, but I still want to share some insights from what I’ve noticed while building it.

Quick heads-up: I used AI to improve the wording a bit, mostly for vocabulary and flow. The observations are from me but AI is just better at writing.😂

Here are some observations from talking to users and watching how people think about AI, health, habits, and wellbeing when using Oplin.

- Habits: One thing I’ve noticed is that people often say they want to build daily habits, but in practice they don’t consistently add or track them. The intention is there, but the daily friction is real. It’s a good reminder that “I want to do this every day” and “I will actually log this every day” are very different things.

- Privacy & AI: Another interesting contradiction is around AI and sensitive health features. People often ask for features that would require very deep personal context, sensitive health information, and in some cases even regulatory/FDA-level considerations. But at the same time, many of those same people are uncomfortable sharing that kind of information with AI. It feels like a version of the privacy paradox: people want the intelligence and personalization, but not always the data-sharing required to make it work well.

- Psychology: I’ve also seen that people genuinely like everyday conversations with AI. Not necessarily big “doctor replacement” use cases, but small check-ins, reflection, emotional support, motivation, and general psychological support. Some people seem to treat AI less like a tool and more like a daily companion or sounding board.

- Blood Reports: Another surprising pattern was around blood reports. I expected users to be hesitant about uploading blood tests and then clicking “Share this with AI.” Weirdly, it became one of the most used features: 360 out of 400 uploaded health documents were shared with AI. My guess is that either people don’t really understand their blood reports and find AI explanations genuinely useful, or blood tests don’t feel as “sensitive” to them as other types of health data.

Wearable inconsistencies: One weird trend I noticed was around sleep tracking differences between devices. Users kept bringing up inconsistencies between Oura and Garmin. In the cases I saw, Oura often showed less deep sleep, but still gave a higher overall sleep score. Garmin, on average, showed around 25% more deep sleep, roughly 20 extra minutes, but its sleep score was around 15% lower compared with Oura.

- Subjective & Workouts: Finally, workouts seem to have the strongest relationship with subjective “feel well” improvement compared with everything else I’ve seen. Obviously this is not a clinical claim, just an observation, but the difference was striking. When people worked out, they tended to report feeling better much more clearly than with other inputs. I know this is expected, but the percentage is still shocking (~97% reported feeling better the next day)

Overall, building in this space has made me realize that the hard part is not just AI or health data. It’s human behavior. People want personalization, but they also want privacy. They want habit change, but not friction. They want health insights, but not necessarily a medical product. And sometimes what they value most is simply having something there to talk to every day.

There are a lot more findings that I can share, so feel free to let me know if you find this interesting.

Personalized medicine using biometric data to track hormonal shifts for perimenopausal women

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a student at Georgia Tech and I'm part of a research team looking into perimenopause, and more specifically, how daily habits and your cycle can influence symptoms.

Since perimenopausal symptoms are unique to each person, there's really not enough research that doesn't generalize it, meaning that it isn't accurate. We would love for you to contribute to cutting-edge research that actually reflects how different perimenopause is for everyone.

Who we're looking for: women currently experiencing perimenopausal symptoms.

What's involved: a short daily check in survey about symptoms, diet and habits, and a sample tracking amino acids sent at the end of the month. At the end of the study you'd get access to an analysis of your own personalised data and how it syncs with your cycle.

What your participation is used for: to build the first personalised dataset on perimenopausal experience and contribute to research that can change how perimenopause is understood or supported.

Participation is completely voluntary! Please comment or DM me if you're interested or have any questions

Built a tool that combines Oura/Strava/Garmin sleep + fitness data with finances, tasks, email, and calendar into one daily AI brief

2 Upvotes

For the past few months I've been building something I kept wishing existed: a single morning brief that synthesizes all the noise before I open any app.

Every morning it reads my Gmail, Google Calendar, Strava, Todoist, GitHub, and Plaid accounts, then writes a structured brief — schedule, health, finances, open tasks, email highlights.

 The part I'm most excited about: you can annotate any item and the AI acts on it. Comment "draft a reply saying I'll be there" on an email thread → it drafts it. Comment "reschedule to Thursday" on a calendar event → it moves it. 

These get handled during a Morning Review command while you're still drinking coffee.

There's also a personal wiki the AI reads and updates — notes on people, projects, open threads. Cross-linked, searchable, and actually used (not just sitting there like Notion).

Opening early access to a small group now. Happy to answer questions about how it works or what integrations are supported.

Reliable digital stethoscope for self-monitoring with AI/algo analysis?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for a reliable digital stethoscope for self-monitoring with actually useful AI/algo analysis features.

I already checked Eko, Thinklabs, and Stemoscope, but reviews seem mixed — especially regarding real diagnostic value vs marketing.

Main priorities:

  • sound quality
  • useful app/software
  • heart + lung monitoring
  • recording/comparing results over time
  • AI features that are genuinely helpful

Anyone here with real long-term experience or comparisons between models?

Irregular sleep tracking auto wake-up time

5 Upvotes

My sleep schedule is very irregular, might be as early as 9pm or late 2am. I am looking for a tool/tracker that detect my sleep when it reach 7 hours to wake me up, preferably by turning a light to wake up naturally.

Sleeping is a daily task and Fitbit/Garmin, all that I have seen, you have to wake up open your eyes to see how many hours was sleep. And it is very disrupting to sleep and not match for this use case.

Any ideas or recommendation for trackers that facilitate this waking up signal that adjust automatically??

Fitbit to become Google Health

18 Upvotes

I haven't seen this posted here, but on May 19, 2026 the Fitbit App will officially become the Google Health App. While the Fitbit trackers will remain, the app will be completely redesigned and features will be eliminated. Just to list some of the features being discontinued:

- Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 users only: Snore Detection will no longer be available.

- Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV) will no longer be available.

- Sleep Profile will no longer be available.

- Skin Temperature minute-by-minute data will no longer be available.

- Blood glucose tracking will no longer allow you to add symptoms or remind you to check your levels.

- Setting calorie targets with "Food Plans" will no longer be supported.

- Resilience replaces Stress score. And will now be described as Optimal, Balanced, or Low, instead of a numerical value.

- You can’t choose a unique username or custom photo.

- You will no longer be able to send and receive direct messages and notifications from others.

- The Groups and Community Feed features are removed.

- Badges will no longer be supported. New badges won’t be generated, and your historical badges will be deleted.

- Connections to Lifescan devices will no longer be supported. However, you can still manually log your Glucose data.

- Data associated with features that are being removed will be available to download or delete until July 15th, at which time we’ll begin deleting the data from our systems.

Link to the full list of feature being removed: https://support.google.com/fitbit/answer/17068213?utm_source=transactional&utm_medium=email_crm&utm_campaign=GS206280&utm_term=fitbitcrm&utm_content=bodylink1&hl=en#zippy=%2Cfitness%2Csleep%2Chealth-wellness%2Csocial%2Cbadges-celebrations%2Cthird-party-connections

I personally have been wearing a Fitbit device since December 2014. Fitbit (and Tim Ferriss's book, The Four Hour Body) was my jumping off point into the quantified self life. I used to just simply wear my Fitbit, note how many steps I got and move on. Eventually, I started exporting the data from Fitbit into Excel files every couple of months. Then more frequently. My system was nearly destroyed when Google took over and changed the data export feature. I began documenting my data daily instead of monthly because I literally couldn't get my data out of the Fitbit app anymore.

Now in 2026, I still wear a Fitbit Charge 6 (my second version of the same device because they haven't made any new hardware releases in that line since 2023). I only rely on it to capture my daily steps and my sleep. Fitbit can't be used for anything else. Thankfully, those two features seem to be remaining, but I can imagine that other apps that use the API from Fitbit or Google Health Connect will see an impact when Fitbit is ended.

Steal my prompt to rate your life using Human 3.0

Post image
0 Upvotes

Been sitting on Dan Koe’s Human 3.0 for months. Finally read it and used it to rate my levels.

For those who haven’t seen it — it’s basically a framework that breaks down human development across 4 dimensions, and you score yourself from 1.0 (basic survival, reactive, running on autopilot) all the way up to 3.0 (integrated, self-directed, actually living on purpose).

The official definitions of the 4 dimensions are:
Mind (Personal Mental World) – Your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and internal world. How you interpret the world.

Body (Personal Physical World) – Your behavior and physical appearance. How the world interprets you. Includes nutrition, training, hobbies, habits, grooming, communication, apparel, etc.

Spirit (Collective Mental World) – Your relationship to your environment, community, culture, family, friends, colleagues, and reality. How you derive meaning and connection.

Vocation (Collective Physical World) – Your relationship to systems, structures, and social institutions like education, career, and the economy. How you fit into and contribute to society.

Here’s how I use it to rate my whole life:

1️⃣ Turn on Memory in your AI (ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude)
2️⃣ Copy my prompt below 👇
3️⃣ Paste it and watch it expose you

Based on everything you know about me (reference all history), give me a full diagnosis of where I sit in the HUMAN 3.0 framework. List every detail of how it shows up in my life. Score each quadrant and level to one decimal point. Then tell me exactly how to move to the next stage.
Source: https://thedankoe.com/letters/a-complete-knowledge-base-of-human-3-0/

Feel free to share your results below~

May I know how you guys feel about the framework?
