Healthica

Smart-band health monitor with on-device glucose prediction

A Flutter app that streams vitals from an ESP32 smart band over Bluetooth Low Energy and predicts blood glucose on the phone with TensorFlow Lite. No server sits in the real-time path.

View project
  • ESP32 firmware sends vitals plus 27 derived features as JSON over BLE GATT at 1 Hz
  • Glucose regression (HR, SpO2, temperature, GSR) runs on-device; linear and neural models compared, then quantised
  • Tiered health alerts, a supervisor view, GSR-guided breathing mode, Supabase auth and history

Sonora

Spotify Connect and Jams for a native Rust music client

View project Sonora repo
  • Sonora shows up as a Spotify Connect device: a phone can start, pause, skip, seek and set the volume, and Sonora can hand playback to and from other devices (+2.9k lines, #895)
  • Join, start and share Spotify Jams from the devices menu, with a QR code, participant list and a strip above the player bar (#934)
  • Likes made in Spotify's other apps update the heart right away (#905); autoplay now defaults to on (#935)
  • Right-to-left text now renders, wraps and edits correctly, with a matching fix in the gpui fork (#880, sonorahq/gpui #18)
  • Jam follow-ups: leaving a jam keeps its queue, and the tray and taskbar follow the host's track and play state (#1170)
  • librespot fix: dealer messages carrying plain JSON were dropped as bad base64, which hid Liked Songs changes (#1786)
