So many threads talking about wearing them at the same time but I’m thinking of buying a Fitbit air for those days where I’m in the office or out for a night out and don’t want my Apple Watch.

Anyone doing this. I’m looking for Google health to talk to Apple and then onto bevel?

really loving this device with a watch on it, seen a fee posts like this so why not add my own!

want to get the same band in orange

Screen is pretty decent size. Materials are cold to touch on the Edge. After wearing the Air since launch I can definitely feel the weight difference. Personally Im sticking to the Air.

Hi all,

I keep seeing posts here from people who find their data in the Google Health app hard to make sense of. I'm in the same boat, so over the past few weeks I built **Healthier**: an open-source web app that connects to your Google Health account and shows your data in what I hope is a cleaner, more understandable way.

I know others have shared similar projects here, but none quite fit what I needed, so I made my own. It covers sleep, activity, heart rate, HRV, weight and more, and it runs in any browser, on a phone or a computer. It reads whatever feeds your Google Health account: Fitbit and Pixel watches, Android apps, even Apple Health on an iPhone.

**How to try it**

- **Host it yourself.** The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/cbukenya/healthier (AGPL-3.0). It runs with Docker, and your data stays on your own server.

- **Use the hosted version.** If you'd rather not run a server, there's an instance at https://healthiercloud.com. It's in early testing, so access is by request: email developer@healthiercloud.com from the Google account you use with Google Health. I'll add you to the test group and email you when you can sign in.

- **Just look around.** Choose **Demo mode** on the sign-in screen to explore a year of made-up data. No account needed.

**What it's built on**

- **Transparency.** An app that reads your health data should explain itself. Scores and insights show their working: the body battery, for example, lists what raised and lowered it.

- **Your data is yours.** Healthier only asks Google for read-only access. Your data is stored only on the server running the app, used for nothing else and never shared, and you can delete it from the Data tab at any time. (On healthiercloud.com, that server is mine.)

- **No AI in the insights.** There's no AI coach and no model guessing about your health. Every score and insight is plain arithmetic you can trace back to your own readings, and the same data always gives the same answer. AI can help write better algorithms, but letting it analyse your data directly would turn the insights into a black box.

- **Built in the open.** This is a first version, and some algorithms won't be as scientifically accurate as they could be yet. The idea is to improve them together, in public: anyone can open an issue, question an approach or suggest something better.

**A bit about me**

I'm a software engineer from Sweden with over 10 years of experience building apps like this, including time at one of the leading makers of fitness and health devices. Healthier draws on that experience, except this time the work is out in the open instead of behind closed doors.

**Where I'd love help**

- **Data science.** I'm not a data scientist, and I leaned heavily on AI tools to help write some of the algorithms. If you work with this kind of data, I'd really value your review, critique and improvements.

- **Translations.** It's English only for now. Every word lives in one file per language, so adding a language mostly means translating a single file.

Healthier is a wellness and data-visualisation tool, not a medical device.

Thanks for reading. All feedback is welcome, here or on GitHub.

About 3am woke up to a visible sleep paralysis demon made out of darkness pushing on my chest. Terrified. Screamed two long "horror movie screams" at the top of my lungs. Partner came running from downstairs

Jumped from deep sleep into awake, heartrate peaked at 125. It's in grey, presumably because it looks like an anomaly and gets averaged out

I've been sick all week and mostly on couch, and went to bed much later than usual, perfect recipe for this

Still says my sleep quality was fair 😎

The Balancing has begun!

The latest update addressed the resilience feature that has meant absolutely nothing since the app transition. Everyone has been "low" since around May because they clearly hadn't figured out what resilience actually means to them since they changed it from being the stress management score. Google support actually commented on my post about it a few months ago saying they were aware of the issue and were working on it, it's cool to see they actually did, though it's unclear what they changed in the metrics for resilience. Or maybe it will just be balanced from here on out ?

My son had surgery earlier this month. I thought it was interesting to see how my RHR changed by the stress of it all. I'm a solo mom so it was a lot. I'm also on multiple steroids for asthma so my RHR is quite high, but my doctor is aware and not concerned.

I have a Fitbit Ionic that is pretty old and it's battery is not working anymore, is there any way that I can fix it myself and if there is then how much will it set me back for and is it worth it?

this doesn't typically happen, but it did make me laugh. (it was zumba, which usually logs as "aerobic workout")

I'm in my final two weeks of half marathon prep and coach has provided some good plans but simple things like "what does next week look like?" when it gets confused by what day of the week a week starts, is really tedious. I asked for a breakdown of my last ten runs and it got all of the distances wrong. It also suggested I do a really long run 7 days out, which is incorrect advice.

It's so much easier to paste a record of a run into Gemini and plan the next two weeks out because it doesn't get stuck on itself and make mistakes.

I wonder if Google should just cut their losses here and just allow data sharing into the Gemini app directly and engage that way?

I want to get a fitbit air but I want to see my info without a phone using a pendant style device. Is there any devices that can do that?
