I am currently an investigator in a CRT using gamification to reduce obesity. Part of the intervention is to provide schoolchildren and one family member with an activity tracker and reward those who exceed a threshold of steps with points.
For the pilot study, we purchased two activity trackers: Omron HJ-324U and Jawbone UP Move. The data cannot be extracted in bulk.
Do you have any guidance on which trackers allow bulk data extraction or how this can be done?
Hi, Sebastian,
Arriba-Pérez and colleagues describe the collection and processing of data from a variety of wearable activity trackers including Jawbone. They also compare various platforms and programs for data collection and transfer.
Below is the link to their article.
I hope that helps.

A little late to the party, but the Fitbit Zip would allow you to have a central capture "site." You can start a "Fitbit Challenge" and extract data off their website (either by hand or through an API).
