Health Connect Integration

Every Health Connect signal. One SDK.

Health Connect is Android’s on-device health data store — where Samsung Health, Fitbit, Garmin, WHOOP, and hundreds of apps write their data. Sahha’s SDK reads it — with the user’s permission — and delivers normalized biomarkers, scores, and archetypes in real time.

How it works

Your users connect Health Connect. Sahha does the rest.

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

On-device and permissioned

Health Connect 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 app. Hundreds of sources write to Health Connect — every one of them, and every future one, flows through the same SDK with no extra prompt and no new code.

Data coverage

Request only what you need
You choose exactly which sensors to request — the native Health Connect screen shows only those, which keeps opt-in rates high.
One schema, every source
A Galaxy Watch sleep session and a Fitbit run land as the same fields and units — Health Connect, Apple Health, and cloud APIs all normalize identically.

Health Connect is Android-only — on iOS, the same Sahha SDK reads Apple Health instead. Nutrition arrives as data logs under a single nutrition sensor, and cycle-tracking types arrive as Sahha Tags (categorical events).

FAQ

Health Connect integration questions

How does Sahha read Health Connect data?

Sahha’s SDK runs inside your Android app and reads Health Connect on the user’s device after they grant permission on the native consent screen. The data is normalized on Sahha’s pipeline and delivered to your backend by webhook or REST API.

What data can Sahha read from Health Connect?

Sleep stages, steps, floors, distance, exercise sessions, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV (RMSSD), blood pressure, blood glucose, SpO₂, respiratory rate, VO₂ max, body and basal temperature, energy burned, basal metabolic rate, body composition, nutrition, and cycle tracking. The complete catalog is on this page.

Which apps and devices write to Health Connect?

Samsung Health (Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring), Fitbit and Pixel Watch, Garmin Connect, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Withings, Peloton, and hundreds of other Android health apps. Anything the user syncs into Health Connect flows through the same Sahha SDK.

Is Health Connect the replacement for Google Fit?

Yes — Google deprecated the Google Fit APIs in favor of Health Connect, which now ships built into Android 14 and later. New Android health integrations should build on Health Connect, and Sahha’s SDK does exactly that.

Does the user need the Health Connect app installed?

On Android 14 and later, Health Connect is part of the OS. On Android 9–13, the user installs the free Health Connect app from the Play Store — the Sahha SDK reports availability so you can guide them.

Is the Health Connect integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified. Data is read only with user consent and encrypted in transit.

Sources

Every source that flows through Health Connect.

Each of these apps and devices writes its data to Health Connect — so once your users grant permission, they all arrive through the same SDK in one normalized schema. No per-brand integrations.

+ Cloud API These sources also offer a deeper dedicated integration — Sahha pulls from the brand’s own API server-side, no mobile app required. Their pages cover both paths.
