Health Connect Setup

The good news is that it’s fairly easy to start using Health Connect.

First, if your Android device runs Android 13 or below, you must install Health Connect (currently in beta) on your phone. Once you install Health Connect, you cannot uninstall it since Google considers it a system app. However, you can disable it.

Starting with the release of Android 14 (later this year,) Google is making Health Connect a part of Android’s system files, and it will automatically install when you update your software to Android 14+.

  1. Open Health Connect from inside the Play Store, via Settings > Apps > Health Connect > Open, or using your phone’s Quick Settings panel.
  2. Tap App permissions.
  3. Choose the app(s) you want to link with Health Connect.
    1. You see all the supported apps that you already installed on your phone.
  4. Toggle on Allow all or choose which data permissions you want that app to share with Health Connect.We recommend selecting Allow all.
    1. Some apps read and write, while others only write or read. For example, Fitbit only writes data to Health Connect–it does not read data.
  5. Repeat for all apps that you want to sync with Health Connect. Once connected, apps sync to Health Connect throughout the day. Recent data might take up to 15 minutes to appear.
  6. Go to Health Connects main settings via Settings > Apps > Health Connect and choose App battery usage. Set Health Connect to Unrestricted to allow it to update in the background continually.We recommend also allowing unrestricted app battery usage for all the apps you link to Health Connect.

After setting up your permissions, don’t delete the companion apps, even if you no longer open them. Health Connect relies on these apps to sync and share data across platforms.

You grant permission to read and write data to Health Connect when you allow access for the last 30 days and any new data written after that. Connected apps continue storing any data they share with Health Connect on their own servers or your device.

For Samsung Health, tap the Menu icon (three dots) at the top and choose Settings > Health Connect.

For Google Fit, tap the Profile tab > Settings icon (gear) > Health Connect. Toggle on Sync Fit with Health Connect.

For Fitbit, tap your profile picture or icon. Scroll down and select Health Connect. Toggle on Sync with Health Connect.

For Withings Health Mate, tap the profile tab, scroll down to the Apps section, and tap Health Connect.

For Oura, choose the Home tab > Settings > Data Sharing > Health Connect > Open Health Connect.

Health Connect supports many of the apps you use daily, including popular apps like MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, Samsung Health, Whoop, Sleep as Android, Withings Health Mate, Oura, Google Fit, Peloton, Weight Watchers, Dexcom, and more to come. To date, there are over 100 apps that work with Health Connect!

The good news is that some apps, like Samsung Health, Google Fit, Oura, and Google Fit, are two-way and can both read data from Health Connect and write data to Health Connect.

Unfortunately, some apps like Fitbit are one-way and can only upload data (write) to Health Connect. Even with Health Connect, Fitbit cannot read and show data from other apps.

Apple health setup

If you’re seeing a ‘Setup’ message, it means that your fitness and sleep tracking may not be configured correctly. We recommend reconnecting with Apple Health to ensure accurate tracking. This step is crucial for maintaining precise data in your sleep and fitness scores.

If you’re still not seeing data in your app, please check Apple Health to verify your data. If you find no data there, you can begin the setup process for Apple Health by following the steps here.

Open Apple Health and ensure that Sleep is added to the list of tracked activities. If required, please configure Apple Health for sleep monitoring by following the below steps:

  1. Go to Apple Health Summary Page and add Sleep as your Favourite’s (Edit > All Tab > Scroll down to Sleep > Click Start > Done)
  2. Back to Summary Page, then open Sleep and set up your sleep schedule (Edit > Set the usual time you go to bed and wake up > Done)

Please note that you must not turn off your phone while sleeping. If you use your phone in the night, this will equate to your being awake. As you know, to avoid receiving any message when asleep, you could either put your phone on Mute or set Focus to Do not Disturb and your phone will remain silent (settings>Focus>Do Not Disturb>Set a schedule).
