Current Ecosystem and Goals:

I am a fully invested user of the Google ecosystem, utilizing a Pixel 8 Pro phone and a Pixel Watch 3 alongside my Fitbit device. My preference for a unified platform aims to create a seamless experience within Fitbit, fostering adherence to my weight loss and overall health goals. This commitment requires significant investment, as both the latest Pixel Watch 3 and Fitbit Premium incur costs.

Inconsistency in Fitbit Integration:

While Google owns Fitbit, the current integration with Google Health Connect falls short of expectations. This is particularly evident when encountering limitations with other devices. For instance, despite Health Connect syncing with my Withings scale, the data doesn't update within the Fitbit dashboard. Similarly, while my Dexcom Stelo CGM connects with Health Connect, Fitbit cannot directly access the data to complement its own glucose readings. This necessitates managing a multitude of apps, hindering a holistic view of my health and hindering potential future insights.

Questions and Concerns:

• Improved Interconnectivity: When can we expect a more streamlined process for app integration? The current system can be cumbersome and lacks intuitiveness.
• Enhanced Google Health Connect Integration: Is full read/write functionality and comprehensive data integration between Fitbit and Health Connect on the roadmap?
• Development Timelines: Considering the numerous long-standing inquiries on this topic, are there any projected timelines for these features?

Overall Message:

The purpose of this statement is to express concern over the current limitations in data integration between Fitbit and Google Health Connect, despite the financial investment in the ecosystem. The goal is to advocate for a more user-friendly and comprehensive experience that facilitates a holistic approach to health management.

Frankly, I'm stunned that this doesn't work. Fitbit advertises that it works with Health Connect and Google Fit, yet it doesn't implement all the features!

I feel like I have bought a car that doesn't have a reverse gear. 

Please implement all data points read AND write. This is the point of Health Connect. 

Many thanks

Health Connect was made so that other apps can share data to be shown in a central place, yet if you give Fitbit permission to read data, it integrates other data like steps, calories, floors, but not nutrition data that is in health connect.


Nutrition information available on health connect yet Fitbit doe not read or integrate it.
