The Idea

An Elata app is a web app that uses the Elata SDK to work with the body’s signals: heart rate from a webcam, EEG from a consumer headband, or PPG from a headband’s optical sensor. You build it with standard web tooling, upload it to the Elata, and users play it right in the browser. You build the product. Elata handles hosting, sign-in, payments, per-user storage, and distribution.

What You Get When You Publish

​
How It Works

  1. Build a web app with the Elata SDK. The fastest start is npm create @elata-biosciences/elata-demo my-app.
  2. Register your app name in the Build an App wizard.
  3. Upload your build as a .zip (or give us an HTTPS URL) and try it in Elata’s play window.
  4. Publish: add an icon, header image, and description, then submit for review.
  5. Go live once the release passes the automated security scan and a moderator approves it.
The full sequence is covered in App Lifecycle.

​
Who This Is For

  • Builders who want to ship a biosignal app without building hosting, accounts, payments, and storage
  • Device makers who want their sensor to reach an app ecosystem (see Device Integration)
  • Users who want to discover and play biosignal apps
