I’m obese and struggle with weight loss, so this is a particularly sad story to hear. My experience makes me think a lot of my issues could be improved just by having someone, like, standing 24⁄7 by my side going “hey” when I go to buy ice cream, stress-eat etc.
Would you be willing to make the pieces you made available to someone who wanted to pick up where you ended? I’d probably not be that person, though (because don’t have the spoons).
I don’t recommend anyone use that actual literal hardware we used. Hardware advances fast and some of the components we used are no longer manufactured by Nordic Semiconductor. It would be better to start from scratch with new hardware. The hardware was not complicated. It was just an industry-standard IMU attached to an industry-standard microcontroller attached to a battery, a vibrating motor and a charging light.
If someone wants to take on this project the thing to steal from my experience would be the machine learning architecture. That’s where all the hard technical challenges were. I think I have left behind enough hints in my story to save them 80% of the algorithmic work. Anyone competent enough to pull this project off could probably muddle through the remaining 20% on their own, but I recommend they hire me instead.
