Health Connect

A shared layer for health data

Health Connect links compatible Android health and fitness apps so they can share selected information through one common service. Instead of keeping activity, sleep, nutrition, or other records in separate app silos, it gives supported apps a shared place to read and write approved data. It suits people who use more than one health app and want those apps to work from the same set of records.

Permissions are the main feature

The app is built around control rather than charts. You can decide which apps may access particular types of health data, review those permissions, and see recent access activity. That makes it useful for checking what an app can read or add, especially when several fitness, wellness, or device apps are connected. Health Connect is intended to keep shared health information on the Android device rather than act as a public profile or social feed.

What it does not replace

Health Connect is not a complete fitness tracker and does not provide the main dashboard for interpreting your progress. You still need compatible apps or connected devices to collect measurements and display trends. Its usefulness also depends on whether the apps you use support the service; unsupported apps cannot exchange data through it.
