FlowLabs Hormone and Sensitivity Tracker (Garmin + AI)

This project is an experiment in tracking nervous system and hormone-related symptoms using:

• A Garmin watch (Connect IQ app for quick check-ins)
• Garmin Health data (HRV, sleep, temperature, stress)
• A backend API (FastAPI + SQLite)
• AI-assisted reflection and pattern analysis

The goal is to combine three layers of information:

1. Subjective data

   • Dizziness
   • Vertigo
   • Headache
   • Hot flashes
   • Sugar sensitivity
   • Fatigue
   • Emotional sensitivity

2. Context data

   • Estradiol dosing days
   • Antiviral medication
   • High-sugar foods
   • Possible gluten cross-contact
   • Long client / farm work blocks

3. Objective data (from Garmin)

   • HRV
   • Sleep stages and quality
   • Stress score
   • Skin temperature (nightly deviation)
   • Heart rate

System Overview

1. Garmin Watch App (Connect IQ)

   • Vibrates on a schedule
   • Prompts a 5–10 second symptom check-in
   • Saves entries locally to sync through Garmin Connect

2. Backend API (FastAPI)

   • Receives check-ins in JSON format
   • Stores data in SQLite
   • Exposes endpoints for retrieval and analysis

3. Schemas

   • JSON examples defining check-in structure
   • Used for testing ingestion and integrations

Directory Structure

ciq-app/ - Connect IQ app source (Monkey C) backend/ - FastAPI backend + SQLite DB init schemas/ - JSON example payloads sync/ - Placeholder script for ingestion from exports

---

Getting Started (Backend)

Install dependencies:

cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

Initialize the SQLite database:

python db_init.py

Start the API:

uvicorn main:app --reload

Test ingestion with the example JSON:

curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:8000/ingest/hormone-checkin \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @../schemas/checkin_example.json

View latest entries:

curl http://localhost:8000/checkins/latest
