The purpose of this Vignette is to show the main functionality of the **fitbitViz** R package. You can read more about the **Fitbit** [Web API](https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/) and how to create an application to receive a **token** and the **user-id** in the *README.md* file. For the rest of this vignette I'll assume that the following variables are defined (USER_ID, token) that correspond to your Fitbit user-id and token:
```{r, eval = FALSE}
require(fitbitViz)
#..................
# parameter setting
#..................
USER_ID = 'My user-id' # Specify here your 'user-id'
token = "My token" # Specify here your 'token'
```
**Be aware** that the **token expires after 8 hours**. If you receive a **401 HTTP error** it means that you have to **refresh your token**. You can do that using the ***refresh_token_app()*** function which requires the **client id**, **client secret** and **refresh token** of your registered Fitbit application in the following way (you can find more information on how to receive these three parameters in the [README.md](https://github.com/mlampros/fitbitViz#requirements) file):
```{r, eval = FALSE}
#..............................................
# Refresh token once it expires (after 8 hours)
#..............................................
client_id = 'xxxxxx'
client_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
refresh_token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
# refresh the token
new_token = refresh_token_app(client_id = client_id,
client_secret = client_secret,
refresh_token = refresh_token)
# a named list that includes the new 'access_token' and 'refresh_token'
str(new_token)
```
We can now continue defining the remaining variables,
```{r}
WEEK = 11 # for this use case pick the 11th week of the year 2021
num_character_error = 135 # print that many character in case of an error
weeks_2021 = fitbitViz:::split_year_in_weeks(year = 2021) # split a year in weeks
# Start the week at monday (see: https://github.com/tidyverse/lubridate/issues/509)
date_start = lubridate::floor_date(lubridate::ymd(weeks_2021[WEEK]), unit = 'weeks') + 1
# Add 6 days to the 'date_start' variable to come to a 7-days plot
date_end = date_start + 6
sleep_time_begins = "00H 40M 0S"
sleep_time_ends = "08H 00M 0S"
VERBOSE = FALSE # disable verbosity
```
The previous code snippet uses one week of my personal *Fitbit* data (the *11th week of 2021*) to plot my
* **heart rate time series**
* **heart rate heatmap**
* **heart rate variability during sleep time**
* **sleep time series**
* **GPS data of outdoor activities**
* **3-dimensional map of activities**
The data for all these functions are available to download using the **csv** buttons in this *Rmarkdown* file.
### heart rate time series
The **heart_rate_time_series()** function takes the **user-id**, **token**, the **start-** and **end-dates**, the **start-** and **end-time**, the **detail level** (1 minute) and returns the **heart rate time series**. Each output plot (of the *multiplot*) includes in the **x-axis** the **time** and in the **y-axis** the **heart rate value**. The highest heart rate value (peak) of the day is highlighted using a vertical and horizontal **blue** line,
```{r, echo = TRUE, out.height = '1000px', eval = FALSE}
#.......................
# heart rate time series
#.......................
heart_dat = fitbitViz::heart_rate_time_series(user_id = USER_ID,
token = token,
date_start = as.character(date_start),
date_end = as.character(date_end),
time_start = '00:00',
time_end = '23:59',
detail_level = '1min',
ggplot_intraday = TRUE,
ggplot_ncol = 2,
ggplot_nrow = 4,
verbose = VERBOSE,
show_nchar_case_error = num_character_error)
heart_dat$plt
```
![](./data_plots/heart_rate_time_series.png)
```{r, echo = FALSE}
#...............................................
# DT::datatable() as option to download the data [ heart rate time series ]
#...............................................
dt_heart_rate_data = data.table::rbindlist(heart_dat$heart_rate_intraday)
dt_heart_rate = DT::datatable(data = dt_heart_rate_data,
rownames = FALSE,
extensions = 'Buttons',
options = list(pageLength = 10,
dom = 'Bfrtip',
buttons = list(list(extend = 'csv',
filename = 'heart_rate_time_series'))))
dt_heart_rate
```
### heart rate heatmap
The **heart rate heatmap** shows the **min**, **median** and **max** heart rate Levels in the **y-axis** for each day of the specified week (**x-axis**). As the legend shows, the displayed values range from 40 to 220 and higher values appear in *purple* or *orange* color,
```{r, echo = TRUE, out.height = '1000px', eval = FALSE}
#............................
# heart rate intraday heatmap [ plot options: https://yihui.org/knitr/options/#plots ]
#............................
heart_intra = heart_dat$heart_rate_intraday
hrt_heat = fitbitViz::heart_rate_heatmap(heart_rate_intraday_data = heart_intra,
angle_x_axis = 0)
hrt_heat
```
![](./data_plots/heatmap.png)
### heart rate variability during sleep time
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) intraday data for a single date. HRV data applies specifically to a user's "main sleep", which is the longest single period of time asleep on a given date. It measures the HRV rate at various times and returns the *Root Mean Square of Successive Differences (rmssd)*, *Low Frequency (LF)*, *High Frequency (HF)*, and *Coverage* data for a given measurement. **Rmssd** measures short-term variability in your heart rate while asleep. **LF** and **HF** capture the power in interbeat interval fluctuations within either high frequency or low frequency bands. Finally, **coverage** refers to data completeness in terms of the number of interbeat intervals. The **fitbit_data_type_by_date()** function allows the user to also compute the 'spo2' (Blood Oxygen Saturation), 'br' (Breathing Rate), 'temp' (Temperature) and 'cardioscore' (Cardio Fitness Score or VO2 Max) by adjusting the **type** parameter.
```{r, echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE}
#.......................
# heart rate variability
#.......................
hrt_rt_var = fitbitViz::fitbit_data_type_by_date(user_id = USER_ID,
token = token,
date = as.character(date_start),
type = 'hrv',
plot = TRUE,
show_nchar_case_error = num_character_error)
```
![](./data_plots/heart_rate_variability.png)
### sleep time series
The **sleep time series** visualization is similar to the *Fitbit Mobile* Visualization and in the **x-axis** shows the specified by the user **sleep time interval** whereas in the **y-axis** shows the **sleep Levels** (*wake*, *rem*, *light*, *deep*). Lower levels like *deep sleep* appear in dark blue whereas higher levels like *wake* appear in light blue,
```{r, echo = TRUE, out.height = '1000px', eval = FALSE}
#.......................
# sleep data time series
#.......................
sleep_ts = fitbitViz::sleep_time_series(user_id = USER_ID,
token = token,
date_start = as.character(date_start),
date_end = as.character(date_end),
ggplot_color_palette = 'ggsci::blue_material',
ggplot_ncol = 2,
ggplot_nrow = 4,
show_nchar_case_error = num_character_error,
verbose = VERBOSE)
sleep_ts$plt_lev_segments
```
![](./data_plots/sleep_time_levels.png)
```{r, echo = FALSE}
#.....................................
# DT::datatable() of the sleep heatmap
#.....................................
dt_sleep_heatmap = DT::datatable(data = sleep_ts$heatmap_data,
rownames = FALSE,
extensions = 'Buttons',
options = list(pageLength = 10,
dom = 'Bfrtip',
buttons = list(list(extend = 'csv',
filename = 'sleep_heat_map'))))
dt_sleep_heatmap
```
### GPS data of outdoor activities
To make use of the *GPS data* from the Fitbit Application we have first to extract the **log-id** for a time interval after a specified *Date*,
```{r, echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE}
#...................
# extract the log-id (required for the GPS data)
#...................
log_id = fitbitViz::extract_LOG_ID(user_id = USER_ID,
token = token,
after_Date = as.character(date_start),
limit = 10,
sort = 'asc',
verbose = VERBOSE)
# log_id
```
Once we have the *log-id* we can define the *time zone* of the route to receive all GPS data,
```{r, echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE}
#....................................................
# return the gps-ctx data.table for the output log-id
#....................................................
res_tcx = fitbitViz::GPS_TCX_data(log_id = log_id,
user_id = USER_ID,
token = token,
time_zone = 'Europe/Athens',
verbose = VERBOSE)
# res_tcx
```
The following *Leaflet Point Coordinates* show my outdoor activity during the *11th week of 2021* (the legend shows the elevation of the route),
```{r, echo = TRUE}
#................................
# Create the Leaflet / LeafGL Map
#................................
res_lft = fitbitViz::leafGL_point_coords(dat_gps_tcx = res_tcx,
color_points_column = 'AltitudeMeters',
provider = leaflet::providers$Esri.WorldImagery,
option_viewer = rstudioapi::viewer,
CRS = 4326)
```
```{r, echo = TRUE}
res_lft
```
```{r, echo = FALSE}
#.................................
# DT::datatable() for the GPS data
#.................................
dt_gps_tcx = DT::datatable(data = res_tcx,
rownames = FALSE,
extensions = 'Buttons',
class = 'white-space: nowrap', # unwrap the column-contents so that rows become flat, see: https://github.com/rstudio/DT/issues/353
options = list(pageLength = 10,
dom = 'Bfrtip',
buttons = list(list(extend = 'csv',
filename = 'GPS_TCX_data'))))
dt_gps_tcx
```
### 3-dimensional plots of activities
Another option of this package is to plot a route in 3-dimensional space. For this purpose we'll use the [rayshader](https://github.com/tylermorganwall/rayshader) package, which internally uses [rgl](https://github.com/dmurdoch/rgl) (*OpenGL*). First, we have to extend the boundaries of our route for approximately *1.000 thousand meters* (adjust this value depending on your area of interest),
```{r, echo = FALSE, eval = FALSE}
# reference for the st_buffer function: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54754935
```
```{r, echo = TRUE}
#...................................................
# compute the sf-object buffer and the raster-extend (1000 meters buffer)
#...................................................
sf_rst_ext = fitbitViz::extend_AOI_buffer(dat_gps_tcx = res_tcx,
buffer_in_meters = 1000,
CRS = 4326,
verbose = VERBOSE)
# sf_rst_ext
```
Then for the extended area we will download **Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM)** data. The *Copernicus elevation data* come either in **30** or in **90** meter resolution. We will pick the *30* meter resolution product for this route. The **CopernicusDEM** is an R package, make sure that you have installed and configured the **awscli** Operating System Requirement if you intend to download and reproduce the next 3-dimensional map using the elevation data,
```{r, echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE}
#..................................................................
# Download the Copernicus DEM 30m elevation data
# there is also the option to download the DEM 90m elevation data
# which is of lower resolution but the image size is smaller which
# means faster download
#..................................................................
dem_dir = tempdir()
# dem_dir
dem30 = CopernicusDEM::aoi_geom_save_tif_matches(sf_or_file = sf_rst_ext$sfc_obj,
dir_save_tifs = dem_dir,
resolution = 30,
crs_value = 4326,
threads = parallel::detectCores(),
verbose = VERBOSE)
TIF = list.files(dem_dir, pattern = '.tif', full.names = T)
# TIF
if (length(TIF) > 1) {
#....................................................
# create a .VRT file if I have more than 1 .tif files
#....................................................
file_out = file.path(dem_dir, 'VRT_mosaic_FILE.vrt')
vrt_dem30 = CopernicusDEM::create_VRT_from_dir(dir_tifs = dem_dir,
output_path_VRT = file_out,
verbose = VERBOSE)
}
if (length(TIF) == 1) {
#..................................................
# if I have a single .tif file keep the first index
#..................................................
file_out = TIF[1]
}
#.......................................
# crop the elevation DEM based on the
# coordinates extent of the GPS-CTX data
#.......................................
raysh_rst = fitbitViz::crop_DEM(tif_or_vrt_dem_file = file_out,
sf_buffer_obj = sf_rst_ext$sfc_obj,
verbose = VERBOSE)
# terra::plot(raysh_rst)
```
The GPS route that I use is an *ascending & descending* route therefore we can convert the GPS (TCX) data to a spatial *LINESTRING* by using the maximum altitude as a *split point* of the route to visualize the ascending route in *blue* and the descending in *red* (there is also the alternative to specify the split point based on time using the **time_split_asc_desc** parameter),
```{r, echo = TRUE}
linestring_dat = fitbitViz::gps_lat_lon_to_LINESTRING(dat_gps_tcx = res_tcx,
CRS = 4326,
time_split_asc_desc = NULL,
verbose = VERBOSE)
```
then we create the *'elevation_sample_points' data.table parameter* for the *3-dim* plot based on the *min.*, *middle* and *max.* altitude of the previously computed *'res_tcx'* data,
```{r, echo = TRUE}
idx_3m = c(which.min(res_tcx$AltitudeMeters),
as.integer(length(res_tcx$AltitudeMeters) / 2),
which.max(res_tcx$AltitudeMeters))
cols_3m = c('latitude', 'longitude', 'AltitudeMeters')
dat_3m = res_tcx[idx_3m, ..cols_3m]
```
and finally we visualize the *3-dimensional Rayshader Map*,
```{r, echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE}
#.....................................................
# Conversion of the 'SpatRaster' to a raster object
# because the 'rayshader' package accepts only rasters
#.....................................................
rst_obj = raster::raster(raysh_rst)
raster::projection(rst_obj) <- terra::crs(raysh_rst, proj = TRUE)
snapshot_rayshader_path = file.path(tempdir(), 'rayshader_img.png')
rgl::open3d(useNULL = TRUE) # this removes the second rgl-popup-window
fitbitViz::rayshader_3d_DEM(rst_buf = rst_obj,
rst_ext = sf_rst_ext$raster_obj_extent,
linestring_ASC_DESC = linestring_dat,
elevation_sample_points = dat_3m,
zoom = 0.3,
windowsize = c(1000, 800),
add_shadow_rescale_original = FALSE,
verbose = TRUE)
rgl::rgl.snapshot(snapshot_rayshader_path)
rgl::par3d(mouseMode = "trackball") # options: c("trackball", "polar", "zoom", "selecting")
rgl::rglwidget()
```
![](./data_plots/rayshader_map.png)
In the output map we observe
* the *3 specified elevation vertical lines* (including their *altitude values* in meters)
* in *blue* color the *ascending* route
* in *red* color the *descending* route
