Fitbit & Google Health Integration

Stream Fitbit data. No Fitbit API needed.

Fitbit and the Google Health app write steps, sleep, weight, heart rate, and workouts to Health Connect on Android — and Sahha’s SDK reads them into your app as normalized biomarkers and scores, alongside every other source.

How it works

Your users connect Google Health. Sahha does the rest.

This is your user’s side of the story — one screen, once. Sahha ingests every Google Health signal, normalizes, deduplicates, and delivers it to your service — raw, or as refined intelligence your product can act on.

On-device and permissioned

Google Health data is read on the user’s own device, only after they grant Health Connect permission — nothing syncs without consent.

One integration, every source

Permission is per data type, not per brand. Anything that writes to Health Connect — Google Health today, a new watch next year — flows through the same SDK with no extra prompt and no new code.

Data coverage

  • Request only what you need

    You choose exactly which of these signals to request from Health Connect — users are only ever prompted for those, which keeps opt-in rates high.

  • One schema, every source

    Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Oura all return the same fields and units.

  • What crosses the bridge

    Sleep, steps, heart rate, weight, and workouts pass through Health Connect; some app-exclusive metrics may not.

Fitbit writes to Health Connect on Android only — it does not write to Apple Health. Sahha reads sleep, steps, heart rate, weight, and workouts from Health Connect; on iOS, cover the same users through Apple Watch or another Apple Health source.

Get more than just raw data

Sahha turns these signals into biomarkers, scores, archetypes, and insights — the modeling done for you.

Build vs. buy

Reading Health Connect yourself? Here’s the to-do list.

Everything on the left is yours to write, test, and maintain on Android. Everything on the right, Sahha already did.

Every device
Build it yourself
  • Integrate Health Connect.
  • Handle Android version differences.
  • Add Apple Health separately for iOS.
With Sahha

One SDK covers Health Connect, Apple Health, and every cloud source.

Getting the data
Build it yourself
  • Write the Health Connect queries.
  • Request the right permissions.
  • Wire up background delivery.
With Sahha

The SDK handles queries, permissions, and background sync.

Keeping it clean
Build it yourself
  • Dedupe apps writing the same metric.
  • Map dozens of Health Connect record types.
  • Reconcile against your iOS sources.
With Sahha

Deduped, typed, one schema — one stream per user.

Turning it into insight
Build it yourself
  • Build a sleep model.
  • Build an activity model.
  • Hire a data scientist.
With Sahha

Scores, archetypes, and insights — built in.

Keeping it alive
Build it yourself
  • Google changes a Health Connect API.
  • You find out in production.
With Sahha

We version the SDK. You never notice.

No Fitbit developer account needed — Sahha reads what Fitbit already writes to Health Connect on Android.

Setup

Live in an afternoon, not a sprint.

  1. # Add the Sahha SDKnpm install sahha-react-native
    01

    Add the Sahha SDK

    Drop the Sahha SDK into your Android app — or React Native or Flutter. The same SDK also covers Apple Health for your iOS sources.

  2. 02

    Prompt for Health Connect permissions

    Call the SDK to show the native Health Connect consent sheet. The user chooses what to share — under your brand. It’s one prompt, ever: permission is per data type, not per brand, so every future source is already covered.

  3. Your app LIVE
    Sleep7h 12m
    Readiness82

    Sahha reads and delivers

    Once permission is granted, the SDK reads Fitbit data from Health Connect in the background, normalizes it to one schema, and streams it to your app by webhook or API.

Most teams read live Fitbit data the same day they add the SDK. The only per-source prerequisite: your user has Fitbit’s Health Connect sync switched on — most source apps enable it by default.

Destinations

Route it into your stack.

Sahha streams every update to your webhook — and a step-by-step guide takes it the rest of the way into your database, CDP, or messaging tool.

FAQ

Fitbit & Google Health integration questions

How does Sahha get Fitbit data?

The Fitbit and Google Health apps write steps, sleep, heart rate, weight, and workouts to Health Connect on Android, and Sahha reads them from there with its mobile SDK — no Fitbit API to integrate.

Does Fitbit sync to Apple Health?

No. Fitbit writes to Health Connect on Android only — it does not natively write to Apple Health. Sahha reads Fitbit through Health Connect; for the same users on iOS, cover them through Apple Watch or another Apple Health source.

Is this Fitbit or Google Health?

Both — Google now runs the Fitbit ecosystem under Google Health, and either app writes the same data to Health Connect. Sahha reads whatever the app writes, so the integration works whether the user is on the Fitbit or Google Health app.

Do I need a mobile app to use the Fitbit integration?

Yes. Because Fitbit data lands in Health Connect on the user’s Android device, you embed the Sahha mobile SDK to read it. Cloud-only sources like Oura don’t need the SDK, but on-device sources like Fitbit do.

Is the Fitbit integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified, and Fitbit data flows through the same compliant pipeline as every other source.

More integrations

One API for every other source, too.

Add another wearable or app and the schema, webhooks, and scores are identical — no new pipeline to build.
