Azumio, which is best known for its fitness and health tracking app Argus, is integrating with the Human API platform to allow users to import data from hundreds of devices and apps. As a result, users can share and unify health information generated outside the Argus app, including food diaries, steps and fitness activities, sleep, heart rate and more.

The partnership with Human API also paves the way to add even more capabilities in the future, such as the option to share and unify lab test results, diagnostic data and genetic data from 23andme with the press of a button. On the other hand, this additional data will open up new research and development opportunities for Azumio, including longitudinal studies using machine learning on large user data sets. In that sense, the company is already working with researchers at Stanford University and University of California, San Francisco to analyze anonymous user data from the Argus app for research purposes.

“Azumio has always believed in breaking down the barriers and removing the silos that have previously denied users the option of sharing their data,” Bojan Bostjancic, CEO of Azumio, said in a statement. “Thanks to this important partnership with Human API, our Argus app now empowers users to unify all of their information, giving them a better picture of their health and wellness.”

The integration works the other way round as well, enabling Argus users to share their health data with other apps in the Human API network. This, according to the press release, includes more than 10,000 applications.
