We are pleased to announce that Garmin Connect now supports Health Connect. This integration facilitates the synchronization of activity and wellness data, including heart rate, total calories burned and more to your Health Connect.

For more details on the data types available, see the Garmin Connect support page. If you haven't set up Health Connect yet, follow the Get Started with Health Connect page and sync your apps.

We had incredibly productive discussions with developers at I/O Connect Berlin! The energy around Health Connect was palpable, with a strong focus on:

• Upcoming Features: What's next for Health Connect and how it will empower your applications.
• Data Privacy: Best practices for securing sensitive user health data and maintaining trust.
• Integration Strategies: Deep dives into effective ways to leverage Health Connect for comprehensive and engaging health/fitness experiences.

For ongoing news and updates, make sure you're subscribed to our Health & Fitness newsletter or bookmark the Health Connect Developer site.

Expand your app's wellness capabilities. Health Connect now supports a mindfulness data type, empowering you to integrate tracking and context of mindfulness sessions. This provides a holistic view of user health, fostering more comprehensive health and fitness solutions. Test out the MindfulnessSessionRecord for read or write in the Health Connect Toolbox.

Wear OS 6 is now available in developer preview, you can test your app for behavioural changes.
