How do I set up Samsung Health (direct vs Health Connect)?

Samsung Health is an on-device integration that requires a native Android app.

Samsung Health is an on-device integration that requires a native Android app. It is not accessible on iOS (an 'invalid connection' error on iOS is expected), and there is no web API, so web-only apps cannot use it.

There are two routes:

• Health Connect via the mobile SDK.

• Direct Samsung Health SDK (recommended, since Health Connect has known sync and data-access limitations).

To use the direct route:

1

Apply for Samsung Health SDK access via Samsung's partner application form.

2

Let support know once you have submitted so we can coordinate enabling the direct route.

3

Once approved, use the SDK versions tagged for Samsung and follow the standard mobile SDK docs, skipping the Health Connect sections.

There is no companion-app workaround like the one for Apple Health.
