Extracting accelerometer data from Microsoft Band

Question

I am trying to do an analysis of data from various fitness tracker devices and i need to extract the accelerometer data from microsoft band jaw bone and Basis Peak for this. I know they have the analyzed data in their app, so the data must be somewhere on my phone, but how do i access it? Does someone know how can i do this?

Jawbone does not provide a way to access the raw accelerometer data. However, you can programmatically access the events (e.g., steps, sleep, heartrate) generated from the aggregated accelerometer data by using the Jawbone UP API.

It is not stored on the phone in an accessible way. You need to use the band api to communicate directly with the band and subscribe to this data.

As for Microsoft Band you can use SDK to get live accelerometer data from the device:

The Microsoft Band SDK gives developers access to the sensors available on the Band

How to subscribe to sensor data is described in the Microsoft Band SDK documentation. You should refer to section 5 "Subscribing to Band Sensors" (page 17).

The documentation can be found here: https://developer.microsoftband.com/Content/docs/Microsoft%20Band%20SDK.pdf
