Health Connect and Samsung Health gather and manage health data. Together, they represent powerful ways to access and leverage user wellness data, but for product teams, integrating them directly can be a challenge. ROOK offers SDKs for both of them that can be used simultaneously with our solution.
Samsung Health is primarily designed for consumer health tracking, focusing on basic metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns. It is tailored for personal fitness and wellness. It also
provides access to detailed, high-frequency health metrics through its own API.
Health Connect provides a unified API that aggregates data from multiple sources, including clinical-grade devices. For ROOK, which integrates specialized health devices (e.g., for SpO₂ and respiratory rate), Health Connect offers greater flexibility and scalability, enabling seamless connections to various platforms. This makes it a suitable choice for integrating accurate, continuous monitoring devices—an essential feature for healthcare environments.
With ROOK, you can easily integrate both of them with our SDKs and leave the data management to us, so you can focus on the user experience and your product. To learn more about how to integrate our SDKs, please refer to our official SDK documentation here.
Note: Enabling Pre-Existing Data grants access to user information recorded before their initial connection.
