The data in Health Connect is all on-device and encrypted. Users will have full control over their privacy settings, with granular controls to see which apps are requesting access to data at any given time. With user permission, developers can securely read from and write data to Health Connect, using standardized schema and API behavior. Health Connect supports many common health and fitness data types and categories, including: activity, sleep, nutrition, body measurements and vitals like heart rate and blood pressure. Health Connect fits in with Google’s wider efforts to help billions of people be healthier, using our platforms and technology to connect and bring more meaning to health information. Starting today, all developers can get access to Health Connect's common set of APIs for Android via Android Jetpack.
In addition, Samsung Health, Google Fit and Fitbit are adopting Health Connect. We've been working with developers including MyFitnessPal, Leap Fitness and Withings as part of an early access program. We appreciate Samsung’s collaboration as we roll out Health Connect to foster richer app experiences while also providing centralized privacy controls for users. We're building this new unified platform in collaboration with Samsung to simplify connectivity between apps. With user permission, developers can use a single set of APIs to securely access and share health and fitness data across Android devices. This is why we’ve created Health Connect, a platform and API for Android app developers. Moreover, there are no centralized privacy controls for Android users. However, much of this information is spread across multiple experiences and different devices, making it difficult to bring together. As Android developers, connecting and sharing this data between apps can help you provide more meaningful experiences and insights for your users.
From helping you log your meals with MyFitnessPal to getting a holistic view of your health with Withings, apps and devices are a source for many kinds of useful health and fitness data.
