Basics of Mediatek LinkIt Smart 7688

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; 

when health is lost, something is lost; 

when character is lost, all is lost." 

Well I cannot do anything about the character but I sure can monitor the health aspect so that we can save something.

There are two aspects of healthy body -

      1) Good Sleep

      2) Regular Movement

Here we use the MediaTek LinkIt 7688 Smart Duo and Jawbone Up3 

- to track the number of steps taken in a day

- number of hours slept in a day
