What Is Health Connect by Android?
Health Connect by Android is a platform designed to simplify connectivity between apps. It functions similarly to Google Fit, but Health Connect stores data on your mobile device instead of the cloud, and offers new data types not available through Google Fit.
Google Fit integration with Oura is no longer available.
Setting Up Health Connect
- Go to the
menu in the upper left-hand corner of the Oura App's home screen
- Tap Settings
- Under "Data Sharing," tap Health Connect
- If you don't already have Health Connect downloaded on your device, follow the prompt to download and install it
- Use the toggles to select which data to share between your Oura App and Health Connect
Data Synced with Health Connect
Adjust the data sharing permissions at any time by going to Settings > Data Sharing > Health Connect > Open Health Connect.
You can choose to import and export the following data:

App Integration Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble syncing data between Oura and a third-party app, please try the following troubleshooting steps.
Reset Integration
Please make sure your phone is on the latest version of its operating system, and follow these steps:
- Open the Oura App
- Tap the menu
- Tap Settings
- Scroll down to "Data Sharing" and select the appropriate app integration
- Turn all the settings switches off and then turn them back on
As a final step, turn your device off and on again before trying to import another activity through the integration.
Reinstall Oura App
To backup and reinstall the Oura App:
- Open the Oura App
- Select the menu
- Tap Settings
- Scroll down to "Account"
- Select "Back up all data"
- When the backup is finished, uninstall and reinstall the Oura App
Other Troubleshooting
- If you link your Oura App to a third-party app such as Apple Health or Health Connect by Android, your height, weight, age, and sex will be imported from those apps into Oura, and you will not be able to edit them unless you unlink the apps.
- The Oura App might not import data from integrations if both apps were not opened before midnight, if "Background App Refresh" is disabled on your phone, or if "Lower Power Mode" is enabled. Open both Oura and the integrated app at least once a day to prevent this.
- If you have trouble syncing your activity data, verify that "Date Added" matches the date on which the activity occurred. If the imported activity includes calorie data, try editing the calorie info through the app used to track your activity.
- When tracking activity, Oura only records your active calories. These calories include the calories you burn during exercise and not your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, the number of calories required to keep your body functioning while at rest). Other fitness trackers and health apps will combine active calories and BMR. As a result, their calorie burn estimations may differ slightly from Oura's.
