Sync a Wearable

You can sync activity, sleep, and weight data from your device to the LifeOmic Platform.

We currently support automatic syncing of data from Fitbit, Oura, Google Fit, Garmin and Apple HealthKit. We will have more devices coming soon. Apple HealthKit enables weight to be synced from any HealthKit compatible scale or application.

note

If you wish to discontinue syncing of data, you need to toggle the data syncing OFF in your app settings (located in your profile). If you choose the "Permanently Delete Account" option in the settings, your device syncing WILL be disconnected as well and no more data will sync.

Set up Apple HealthKit​

Enabling the Apple Health Data Sync will synchronize your health data each time you open the mobile app. Apple Health records of certain types (see below) created after you enable syncing will be uploaded.

To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within the mobile app. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.

Data Synced​

Pillar: Activities

  • Apple Health records of type "Workout" are synced for the mobile app Activity pillar.

Pillar: Sleep

  • Apple Health records of type "In Bed" are synced for the mobile app Sleep pillar.

Progress: Body weight

  • Apple Health records of type "Weight" are synced, and you can view them from the "Progress" tile.

Troubleshooting​

If you do not see the HealthKit integration​

If you do not see the HealthKit integration listed, turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.

Reviewing permissions​

At any time, you can review which record types are being synced by the mobile app. Go to the Health app, tap the "Sources" tab, and select mobile app.

Duplicates​

If you have multiple apps writing the same data, like "In Bed" sleep records, they will be duplicated in the mobile app. Our recommendation in this scenario is to disable all but your favorite app to write the issue record type. Use the "Reviewing permissions" section above, selecting other apps instead of the mobile app to review which apps are writing data.

Set up a Fitbit device​

Enabling the Fitbit Data Sync will periodically synchronize your health data in the cloud. Fitbit records created after you enable syncing will be uploaded.

Enabling​

To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within the mobile app. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.

Data Synced​

Pillar: Activities

  • Fitbit activity records are synced for the mobile app Activity pillar.

Pillar: Sleep

  • Fitbit sleep records are synced for the mobile app Sleep pillar.

Progress: Body weight

  • Fitbit weight records are synced and you can view them from the "Progress" tile.

Troubleshooting​

If you do not see the Fitbit integration​

If you do not see the Fitbit integration listed, turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.

Data not showing​

Fitbit data is synced periodically and depends on the device being synced with Fitbit. If data is not shown immediately after a Fitbit device stores data, check the mobile app an hour later.

Set up a Garmin device​

Enabling the Garmin Data Sync will periodically synchronize your health data in the cloud. Garmin records created after you enable syncing will be uploaded.

Enabling​

To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within the mobile app. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.

Data Synced​

Pillar: Activities

  • Garmin activity records are synced for the mobile app Activity pillar.

Pillar: Sleep

  • Garmin sleep records are synced for the mobile app Sleep pillar.

Troubleshooting​

If you do not see the Garmin integration​

If you do not see the Garmin integration listed, turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.

Data not showing​

Garmin data is synced periodically and depends on the device being synced with Garmin. If data is not shown immediately after Garmin Connect syncs, check the mobile app an hour later.

Set up an Oura device​

Enabling the Oura Data Sync will attempt to synchronize your health data on a periodic basis in the cloud, outside of the mobile app. Oura records which are created after you enable syncing will be uploaded.

Enabling To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within the mobile app. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings.

Data Syncing​

The Oura app will need to gather data from your ring and upload it to the Oura Cloud before LifeOmic can sync with your data. Please leave your Oura app open in the foreground to ensure that your data is collected. If you have noticed that your data is available in the Oura app but not in the Oura Cloud, please follow these steps.

Data Pillar: Sleep

  • Oura sleep records are synced for the mobile app Sleep pillar.

Troubleshooting​

If you do not see the Oura integration​

If you do not see the Oura integration listed, turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time. If you are using an Apple iPhone, you can use the HealthKit integration instead of the Oura integration to incorporate data from Oura and any other HealthKit enabled device.
