About Open Humans

Open Humans is a nonprofit project that has been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Knight Foundation. Their platform enables members to aggregate data and share data with researchers and citizen scientists.

Data is private by default in Open Humans. You choose when to share. Members can decide to make data public, or can contribute it directly (and privately) to projects created by researchers and citizen scientists.

Technical details

This app does not receive access to any identifying information from your Open Humans account, and does not store any data locally. The app deposits data into your Open Humans account associated with the "Nightscout Data Transfer" activity, which is managed by James Wedding and other Nightscout Foundation staff.

Raw data is JSON format, retrieved from your Nightscout server. You'll have access to data files in the Open Humans activity page: https://www.openhumans.org/activity/nightscout-data-transfer/
