Implementing a abstracted API on top of the browser will only work based on the assumption that the protocol that is used to communicate between the host and these devices have been standardized. Sadly, I don't think this is the case. (Correct me if I am wrong) IMHO what is needed is Bluetooth

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Lack of a formal web API doesn't block these devices from exposing data through web services, does it? Coming up with a web service or JSON standard for the data would make sense but that's more of an industry-specific concern that would best be dealt with

Hello All: I do not think an API would be the solution for facing the need of standards in sensors. I agree, however in the need of a solution -- a kind of standarized solution -- for the forthcoming trends in data collection. XML worked pretty well for this half a decade a go or more, I

It's just a more compact data format that happens to evaluate as an object literal in JS and is perfectly interchangeable with XML and similar data structures like Python dictionaries. Most modern web services offer both. You might prefer one or the other, but I can assure that it's perfectly

I believe a way to directly read health data into web apps with a browser api (JavaScript) is an interesting idea. You could then have a webrtc video conference with your doctor and he could read out your pulse and other health data directly from your device live and give you an opinion. Seeing as

Browsers have been dealing with private personal data for a while now, that includes video camera microphone input, geolocation and more. Health data isn't so different in that respect. There are mechanisms to deal with privacy already in the browser. But indeed: a spec would need to consider

That's a stronger argument than I would have thought of (and mind you I'm just a lurker without anything in the way of influence so don't let me shoot you down or anything). But audio/video capture is a general media/communication thing. To me it's like the difference between geolocation and

What I'd you're a long way away from any medical help? In my mind this is part of the larger drive of the web of things (IoT applied to the web) and needs device APIs. This might not be the right group to discuss it in though. Best Regards, Silvia. On 13 Sep 2014 10:53, Erik Reppen
