Open Wearables is an open-source, self-hosted platform that turns raw wearable data into transparent health scores and AI-driven recommendations. It provides a unified API for multiple device providers, with fully auditable scoring algorithms and an AI engine that detects patterns and generates coach-like insights. The platform is MIT-licensed and can be deployed on a company's own infrastructure.

Problem
Wearable devices from different manufacturers calculate health scores using proprietary, undisclosed algorithms, making it impossible for developers to compare or audit results across devices. This lack of transparency creates vendor lock-in, prevents customization, and forces product teams to rely on black-box scoring that may not align with their specific use case or compliance requirements.
Solution
Open Wearables provides an open-source, self-hosted platform that ingests raw wearable data and computes health scores using transparent, auditable algorithms. The platform includes a Health AI Engine that detects patterns, connects scores across metrics, and generates recommendations similar to what a human coach would provide. It offers a unified API for multiple wearable providers, with OAuth flows, webhooks, and a self-hosted deployment model that keeps data on the customer's own infrastructure. All scoring logic is published under an MIT license, allowing teams to read, fork, and customize the algorithms to fit their specific needs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health and wellness product teams, digital health startups, and enterprises building wearable-powered applications who need transparent, customizable health scoring without per-user fees or vendor lock-in.
