Google debuts Health Connect beta, supports Peloton, Oura, WeightWatchers apps

"We are now making the Health Connect (Beta) app available for download in Google Play (GOOG, GOOGL) to give users a central place to manage their privacy settings with granular controls to see which apps have access to data at any given time. "Today, 10+ health, fitness and wellness apps are rolling out integrations with the platform including early adopters of Health Connect like MyFitnessPal, Oura and Peloton (PTON)…In the past, developers had to establish multiple API connections to share data between different apps and each integration was costly to build and maintain. This limited developers’ data sharing capabilities and made it hard for users to unlock this data so that it could be utilized in different apps. Now, with Health Connect, building an integration with a new app is as simple as reading in new data from Health Connect, rather than building a whole new integration. For example, Android users will now be able to sync and get credit for their Peloton workouts in apps like Oura, MyFitnessPal, WeightWatchers (WW) and Lifesum. Now, through a single integration with Health Connect, Peloton Members will have the option to share their workout stats across the ecosystem of apps they use to support their overall wellness," wrote Sara Hamilton, Developer Relations, in part, on the on the Android Developers Blog for Google.
