TLDR: Do the values that a user enters into their User Profile influence the way the raw signal from the device is processed and which is ultimately returned by the Fitibt API?
There are a lot of biometrics which can be volunteered by the user in their User Profile (or otherwise filled in automatically via a 3rd party device like a the WIthings WiFi Scale). In particular:
- "dateOfBirth"
- "gender"
- "glucoseUnit"
- "height"
- "strideLengthRunning"
- "strideLengthWalking"
- "weight"
How might entering in these values (or otherwise leaving the defaults) influence the heart rate, activity, and sleep end-point data? For example, I can imagine if a person leaves out their stride length, but enters in their height, that some average stride length is assumed to calculate steps, and therefore their activity data is slightly altered. Is that true? Could a person's returned HR data be different based on their derived BMI and subsequently thus also their height and weight?
Does there exist some documentation which catalogues the downstream implications of providing different initial values in one's user profile?
