We’ve made great progress on the hardware front! Our new development kit is the next step toward a more refined ZSWatch, and it allows us to test key features before shrinking everything down to the final form factor.

This Devkit isn’t just for internal testing, it’s also for developers who want to get an early start building software for ZSWatch. It gives full access to all interfaces, and we’ll be sharing more info soon on how to get one.

It's now been two months since our last update and a new one is very much due!

We’ve hit two major milestones:

  • A prototype PCB for health tracking
  • Firmware updates over USB and BLE

We will be doing a redesign of much of the ZSWatch hardware. Before getting too deep into it we would like to collect some feedback and ideas. Please fill in the form below.

We received funding!

For the last few months there have not been much progress in ZSWatch. But that's about to change because we have received 50 000 € from the NLnet Foundation to take ZSWatch to the next level!

NGI0 Commons Fund, a fund established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet program. Learn more at the NLnet project page.

We support organisations and people who contribute to an open internet for all. We fund projects that help fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data.

Which ZSWatch falls pretty well under.

Here we go into more details about what this means.
