Open Wearables

Open Wearables is an open-source initiative that aims to provide a community-driven ecosystem for wearable device software and interoperability by connecting sensor data, activity tracking, and health insights across multiple platforms and devices. Instead of relying on closed vendor ecosystems, the project provides standardized data models and APIs that let developers and hobbyists collect, sync, and analyze biometric and environmental data from wearables, DIY sensors, and open hardware projects. This approach allows users to break free from manufacturer lock-in while enabling richer, customizable dashboards, real-time visualizations, and personalized health analytics that match real-world needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. It provides building blocks for federated data storage, modular device drivers, and plugin frameworks so contributions from different communities can extend capabilities without rewriting core logic.
