At the Google I/O conference in 2022, Google disclosed the Health Connect (Health Connect) system jointly developed with Samsung. This is an Android API and platform that collects health and fitness data from applications or devices, stores this data securely, and allows users to share data with other applications or devices. Currently, Health Connect is available as an app on Android smartphones and Wear OS smartwatches. However, Google may integrate Health Connect into Android 14.

IT Home learned that Google recently released Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 for Pixel smartphones. Interestingly, this beta firmware comes preloaded with the Health Connect app. However, Health Connect may not be limited to Pixel devices in the future. According to Mishaal Rahman, senior technical editor at Esper, code revisions submitted to AOSP Gerrit indicate that Health Connect will be an Android 14 system-level service. In other words, Google might make Health Connect the default app on Android 14.

If Health Connect becomes an integral part of the operating system, more and more application developers will integrate the service into their applications. The more apps that integrate Health Connect, the easier it will be for people to share their health and fitness data across apps. It also means that users can easily switch between different brands of smartwatches without worrying about losing their health and fitness data.

Currently, more than 10 apps integrate with Health Connect, including Google Fit, Samsung Health, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, HealthilyMe, Oura, Flo, Lifesum, Outdooractive and Proov. If a user is using any of these services, Health Connect can be used to share health and fitness data between these apps very easily.
