As mobile apps continue to revolutionize the fitness landscape, connecting and sharing user health data has become increasingly important for Android app developers. With the rise of wearable devices and digital health platforms, users expect a seamless experience across various apps and services. However, accessing and integrating this data can be challenging due to fragmented APIs and lack of centralized privacy controls.

This is where Health Connect comes in – a groundbreaking platform and API designed specifically for Android app developers. By leveraging a single set of APIs, developers can securely access and share health and fitness data across Android devices with user permission. With Health Connect, you can create more meaningful experiences for your users while maintaining the highest level of privacy and security.

The Power of Unification

Health Connect is built in collaboration with Samsung to simplify connectivity between apps. By providing a unified platform, we're enabling developers to bring together diverse health and fitness data types and categories, including activity, sleep, nutrition, body measurements, and vitals like heart rate and blood pressure. This comprehensive approach allows you to create richer app experiences while giving users full control over their privacy settings.

Easy Integration

Getting started with Health Connect is a breeze. Our single set of APIs makes it simple to manage permissions and read and write data. You can request permissions and then write some data, just like we've shown in our example:

First, define the permissions you plan to request read or write access to. In this case, we're reading and writing steps and heart rate.

Then, launch the permissions request, which will bring the user to the Health Connect permissions UI to grant permissions.

Once the user grants permission, you can read and write data.

Seamless Data Sharing

Health Connect is designed to securely access and share health and fitness data across Android devices. With our platform, users have granular controls to see which apps are requesting access to their data at any given time. The data in Health Connect is all on-device and encrypted, providing the highest level of security.
