Add additional Android Health Connect data types as writeable AND readable

Fitbit has recently enabled Android Health Connect support for simplified health data connectivity between Android apps. However, there are only a handful of data types that are supported--and all of them are WRITE only. Fitbit should enable additional data types for write AND read, such as Heart Rate, Exercise Sessions, Nutrition, etc.
This is needed because:
At the moment, Fitbit can only write data using the new Android Health Connect API. This means that Fitbit cannot ingest any external data--making it less of an attractive option for an all-in-one fitness app.
I'd use this: Daily

Hi @cesarjr, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about adding additional Android Health Connect data types as writeable and readable 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.
