Visualizations & Roadmap

Health.md exports a schema-versioned local data set for Markdown, Obsidian Bases, JSON, and CSV. The visualization roadmap below connects that data surface to the companion Obsidian visualization plugin: what already exists, what the exported data can support next, and which categories need generic schema-aware charting.

Data source.

This page is organized from Health.md's export schema and data dictionary: activity, sleep, heart, vitals, body, nutrition, mindfulness, medications, workouts, reproductive health, symptoms, hearing, and lifestyle/environment metrics.

43plugin renderers today
18export data categories
220+canonical export keys
1generic metric layer still needed

Each item links to its matching public variation in the Health.md visualization gallery. These links use the theme-colors variation so the docs stay fast and stable instead of embedding every renderer on this page.

The biggest product gap is not one missing chart. It is a generic schema-aware metric layer that lets any exported Health.md field be plotted without writing a custom parser and renderer for every metric.

  • Schema compatibility detection for daily exports, legacy files, rollups, and data dictionary files.
  • JSON, CSV, Markdown, and Obsidian Bases loading.
  • Rollup awareness so weekly/monthly/yearly summaries do not pollute daily charts.
  • Source-file navigation from chart points back to the contributing Health.md file.
