Health Connect

What Health Connect does

Health Connect lets compatible Android health and fitness apps share selected information through one central service. It is suited to people who use more than one app for activity, sleep, nutrition, or other health records and want those apps to work from the same data. Rather than replacing a fitness tracker or coaching app, it provides the connection between them.

Permissions in one place

The main purpose is control. You can review which apps are allowed to read or write particular health data, then change those permissions when needed. Health Connect also provides access history, so you can check which apps have recently accessed or changed information. Data is kept locally on the device, making this a practical choice for users who want a clearer boundary around sensitive records.

What to expect

Health Connect is a utility, not a full health dashboard. It does not replace the graphs, goals, or reports found in apps such as fitness trackers and nutrition tools. Its usefulness depends on those other apps supporting Health Connect, and the available data will vary by app and by the permissions you grant. Once connected, it can reduce the need to enter the same activity or health details in several places.

Ratings and availability

Published by Google LLC in Health & Fitness, Health Connect has more than 500,000,000 installs and a rating of 2.47 out of 5 from 74,608 reviews. The rating suggests that the experience is not equally smooth for everyone, especially where app compatibility or data syncing is involved. It makes the most sense for Android users who need a shared permission layer between several supported health apps.
