Uhhh... Wouldn't have been much simpler to just link people to their Google Account Dashboard? Where this, along with many other, useful metrics are available?
This was just a demo of what was possible. I think there are tons of more unique insights we can pull related to productivity, sales, even happiness, etc. using this data.

We talk more about it on our mini-manifesto https://joymetrics.com/

Ah! I didn't see all that (I blame the phone). This I could definitely see myself being interested in. It's like a Jawbone Up or those Nike bands, except for us nerds.

Have you made any progress or is it still in the planning stages? Give me a chrome Web app, throw my data into one of the many readily available machine learning services, tell me I'm stressed and then present me with Groupons for smoothies and shit.

I think this is an excellent idea. As the lead for about a half dozen developers is encourage you to go after business accounts too. One of my guys not pulling his weight? Is the young guy's activity showing signs of late nights and alcohol abuse? A lot of problems can fly under the radar when they are easy to solve. This service could help managers get back in tune with the pulse of their employees.
