Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Health Connect?
Google Health Connect is Android's modern native API for sharing health and fitness data securely between apps. It resides directly in the Android system settings, acting as a secure repository. Vitalstat uses Health Connect to access health metrics logged by other apps like Google Fit, Samsung Health, or Oura.
How does Google Fit work with Vitalstat?
Vitalstat can sync with Google Fit directly via the Google Fit API or through Health Connect. If your wearable logs workouts to Google Fit, those activities will automatically sync into your Vitalstat dashboard.
Do I need to grant write permissions?
No. Vitalstat only requires read access to compile your metrics and calculate your daily recovery score. We never write or overwrite data in your Google Health Connect system, preserving a clean read-only integration.
Can I consolidate Garmin and Oura data on Android?
Yes. You can connect your Garmin or Oura accounts directly via cloud API, and also connect Health Connect. Vitalstat integrates all these sources, removing duplicate records and calculating a single, accurate recovery score.
