Google Fit APIs will be supported until the end of 2026. To learn about the recommended migration paths, see Migration guide.

Health Connect data types (SDK 1.0.0-alpha09 and lower)

Health Connect stores and structures both health and fitness data and medical records data. It's important to understand first what data types and permissions Health Connect offers so that you can plan your app's requirements.

After development, when you prepare to publish your app to Google Play, you must declare your app's data use as well as declare access to the Health Connect data types that your app uses. Otherwise, users might be prompted with an error message where your app can't access the Health Connect data types because they require special approval.

For more information, see Complete the health apps declaration in the Play Console.

Data type categories

Health Connect supports data types that are used across most health and fitness apps to provide as much variety as possible. Health Connect aims to offer a comprehensive view and storage of health and fitness data. These data types fall into the following categories:

*Table: Health Connect data type categories*
Category		Description
directions_run	Activity	This captures any activity that a user does. It can include health and fitness activities like running and swimming.
straighten	Body Measurement	This captures common data related to the body, such as a user's weight and their basal metabolic rate.
fertile	Cycle Tracking	This captures menstrual cycles and related data points, such as the binary result of an ovulation test.
grocery	Nutrition	This captures hydration and nutrition data types. The former represents how much water a user consume in a single drink. The latter includes optional fields such as calories, sugar, and magnesium.
sleep_auto	Sleep	This captures interval data related to a user's length and type of sleep.
vital_signs	Vitals	This captures essential information about the user's general health. It includes data such as body temperature, blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation.
mindfulness	Wellness	This captures data related to a user's mental health and well-being.

Developer experience guides

Health Connect provides developer experience guides that focus on specific health and fitness use cases. These guides show you how to use relevant data types together to build features for the following areas:

The following data type table also indicates which experience guides are associated with each data type.

Data type fields

The Health Connect data types table includes several field columns to help you understand the structure and requirements of each data type. These columns are as follows:

*Table: Data type fields descriptions*
Field		Description
schedule	Record Type	Indicates whether the data is recorded at an instant in time or over an interval. The possible values are: Interval, Instantaneous, Series.
straighten	Unit	The unit of measurement for the data type (for example, Calories, Meters, Count).
star	Mandatory Fields	These are the essential fields that must be included when writing data for this data type to help maintain data integrity and usefulness.

Health and fitness data types

Before requesting any permissions, your app must declare them in the manifest. For more information, see the Declare permissions section of the quick start guide.

The following table contains the full list of data types, each with category, feature flags and guides, and permission declarations.

This table is for the Health Connect SDK version 1.0.0-alpha09 and lower. If you're using a higher version of the SDK, see Health Connect data types for SDK 1.0.0-alpha10 and higher.
