Able to customize Health Connect data collection and syncing process

Add the ability to customize the data collection and the synchronization process though healthconnect or the fitbit servers. A lot of users are asking for the ability to lower synchronization rates. I on the other hand, would like to have the ability to sync more often (battery life concerns notwithstanding) for near real time remote monitoring.

Hi @SunsetRunner, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about being able to customize the Health Connect data collection and syncing process with us. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly. Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.
