We’re enhancing your experience by transitioning to Health Connect, which will sync your health data across all your devices and apps for a more seamless and personalized experience.

What is Health Connect?

Health Connect is a platform developed by Google that aims to centralize and streamline health and fitness data across various apps and devices. It allows users to control and share health information such as activity, sleep, heart rate, nutrition, and more, in one unified place.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • Your health data from apps like Google Fit, Samsung Health, and others will now sync automatically in one place.

  • Your privacy is our top priority. You control which apps have access to your data, and we’ll never share it without your permission.

  • You’ll need to grant permission to access your data via Health Connect, which is a one-time setup.

Looking Ahead

By transitioning to Health Connect, we're bringing you a more integrated experience. This change will help you log your progress more easily, giving you better insights into your health journey. Thank you for being part of the BetterYou community, and we’re excited to continue supporting your goals!
