Introducing new APIs for health and fitness in Health Connect by Android

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Health Connect provides a unified on‑device health data store with an alpha Jetpack SDK and a beta app on Play, supporting over 50 data types across 6 categories (activity, sleep, nutrition, cycle, body, vitals). Apps request fine‑grained read/write permissions via a centralized UI, write records in sample/interval/series formats, and read aggregated or deduped metrics across sources. Integrations with Fitbit, Google Fit, Samsung Health, Withings and MyFitnessPal are live in early access; migration from Google Fit Android APIs begins now and user rollout arrives this fall for 3 billion+ Android users.
