So I'm the friend who tweeted that.

And actually it was even simpler than that. No coding involved - I did this with nothing more than a handful of IFTTT recipes. Hook it up to Google, listen for "Home" commands, and send them to a Google Spreadsheet. I have one for each type of entry I wanted to log - meals, symptoms, medications. Planning to add activities and some general exercise capturing when I have another 20 minutes (ha).

And I'll add some biometric logging, although my ultimate goal would be to actually script that to get data directly in from my BP monitor and a scale automatically. Same with sleep data from the app I use to track that. Both would be easier if I were using one of the devices or apps for tracking those that IFTTT supports.

The idea is to set up and collect as much as I can with as little manual entry (i.e., typing) as possible, with as little coding as possible.
