Super happy to say that finally our app, BodyPress, with full support for PiEEG devices, is now live on Google Play!
This one wasn't easy, but we did it. 💪
You can now read data from all biodata from PiEEG devices, as well as PiEEG XR (EEG in VR), directly on your mobile phone. Simple, comfortable, and easy.
What's in This Release
New Home Screen
A categorized hub to quickly reach every feature—no more hunting through menus to access your neural data streams.
Companion Mode
An ambient view of your mental state in real time. Think of it as a calm, persistent window into your brain's activity while you go about your day.
Electrode Health Indicators
Clearer signal-quality feedback so you know instantly when electrode contact needs adjustment. No more guessing why your signal looks noisy.
PiEEG Server Screen
Built-in dashboard access for advanced users running local PiEEG Server instances. Full control without leaving the mobile app.
Improved Bluetooth Scanning
More reliable device connections with enhanced BLE discovery. Connects faster and maintains stable sessions across all PiEEG hardware—from 8-channel prototypes to 32-channel professional systems.
Why This Matters
Your body writes a journal every day, and now, wherever you are, you can read it.
BodyPress isn't just a data viewer—it's an AI-powered wellness companion that transforms raw sensor readings into first-person narratives. Instead of staring at disconnected metrics, you read a warm, insightful story written as if your body is speaking to you.
What BodyPress Collects
The app synthesizes multiple data streams into one cohesive picture:
Brain Activity (via PiEEG devices):
- Live EEG signals from all channels
- Signal quality per electrode
- Mental state indicators
Health Metrics (via Health Connect):
- Steps, distance, calories
- Heart rate, HRV (RMSSD, SDNN)
- Sleep stages and duration
- Workout sessions
Environmental Context:
- Temperature, air quality (AQI)
- UV index, humidity, weather
- Location (read once for weather, then discarded)
Bluetooth Heart Rate:
- Real-time waveform from Polar, Wahoo, Garmin straps
- BPM and RR intervals
How It Works
- COLLECT — Data from sensors, Health Connect, Bluetooth, and environmental APIs
- SYNTHESIZE — AI finds patterns and correlations across all signals
- NARRATE — A first-person journal entry written from your body's perspective
- DISCOVER — Insights emerge over time: poor sleep before elevated heart rate, cleaner-air days with better focus
Privacy & Security
- GPS read once per capture for weather, then immediately discarded (no location history stored)
- Health data is read-only — BodyPress never writes to Health Connect
- Encrypted connections, no tracking, no data selling
- Open-source codebase on GitHub
Get Started
Compatible with:
- Android 8.0+ with Health Connect
- All PiEEG hardware (8ch, 16ch, 32ch)
- PiEEG XR for neural data in VR
- Optional BLE heart rate monitors (Polar H10, Wahoo TICKR, Garmin HRM-Pro)
