I'd pay a monthly fee for a service that let me create one of these and integrate it with the various workout/personal stats apps/gadgets/services. An app like Moves + a sleep monitor + a workout tracking app + a diet tracker all on one dashboard would be really neat.

We've just enabled third-party app support via our API and have a pretty powerful personal dashboard https://api.howareyou.com/ and https://howareyou.com/ – we're still working on integrating different applications and devices, but using our API, there is no reason why you or any other developer can't add your own.
Very nice documentation! Mind sharing how you are generating your API documentation?

Edit: Looks like it is Swagger.

fyi, it seems I can't get it to work on Google App Engine (because of Scala dependency I think)
You can run Scala on GAE as long as you have the Scala dependencies so that shouldn't be a problem.
That looks really nice. The demo and some of the ideas seem to good to be true. I'm not sure my doctor spends her time scanning a social network for status updates to decide who to drop in on.
That's a fair point, however, we're seeing a lot of social engagement from a community care aspect (chronic care / long-term conditions / nurses / mental health etc.)
Very impressive - I had no idea that this existed.
I recently bought a fitbit, their online dashboard is pretty similar and you get access without a monthly fee. I'm pretty sure you can sign up and try it without getting a fitbit tracker, but the tracker is pretty nifty and it lights up the dashboard with all your info.
I have an aria, not a fitbit, and it's pretty cool. I really really really want integration with mint.com though, then you'd be able to track the fitness goals vs money spent, and come up with an optimized plan for everything.
I've been using mine for two months and I love it. They have an data API http://dev.fitbit.com/ and said they may open a hardware one too.
I got a flex a month ago and I love it! I don't use the silent alarm feature, because I'm a light sleeper and I wake up when I wake up. The food log is a feature that I thought I won't use, but I am. Wish I also had a heart monitor.
Does the vibrate wake up feature work well? Do you feel you are able to wake easier? That is pretty much the only feature I care about.
Been building something like that at http://ontrack.io with a very robust api (http://ontrack.io/api) with ability to input data and export at will.
