Activity, Sleep and Weight can automatically be synced from the devices and other software you use today.
We currently support automatic syncing of data from Fitbit, Oura, Google Fit, Garmin and Apple HealthKit. We will have more devices coming soon. Apple HealthKit enables weight to be synced from any HealthKit compatible scale or application.
*Please note* - If you wish to discontinue syncing of data you need to toggle the data syncing OFF in your app settings (located in your profile). If you choose the "Permanently Delete Account" option in the settings your device syncing WILL be disconnected as well and no more data will sync.
To setup your device, please follow the simple instructions below:
Apple HealthKit:
Enabling the Apple Health Data Sync will synchronize your health data each time you open the LIFE Extend app. Apple Health records of certain types (see below) created after you enable syncing will be uploaded.
Enabling
To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within LIFE Extend. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.
Data Synced
Pillar: Activities
Apple Health records of type "Workout" are synced for the LIFE Extend Activity pillar.
Pillar: Sleep
Apple Health records of type "In Bed" are synced for the LIFE Extend Sleep pillar.
Progress: Body weight
Apple Health records of type "Weight" are synced and you can view them from the "Progress" tile.
Troubleshooting
If you do not see the HealthKit integration
If you do not see the HealthKit integration listed turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.
Reviewing permissions
At any time, you can review which record types are being synced by LIFE Extend. Go to the Health app, tap the "Sources" tab, and select LIFE Extend.
Duplicates
If you have multiple apps writing the same data, like "In Bed" sleep records, they will be duplicated in LIFE Extend. Our recommendation in this scenario is to disable all but your favorite app to write the issue record type. Use the "Reviewing permissions" section above, selecting other apps instead of LIFE Extend, to review which apps are writing data.
Fitbit:
Enabling the Fitbit Data Sync will periodically synchronize your health data in the cloud. Fitbit records created after you enable syncing will be uploaded. While LIFE Points will reflect any newly synced data immediately, the LIFE Extend pillars and Progress view may take more time to reflect the data.
Enabling
To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within LIFE Extend. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.
Data Synced
Pillar: Activities
Fitbit activity records are synced for the LIFE Extend Activity pillar.
Pillar: Sleep
Fitbit sleep records are synced for the LIFE Extend Sleep pillar.
Progress: Body weight
Fitbit weight records are synced and you can view them from the "Progress" tile.
Troubleshooting
If you do not see the Fitbit integration
If you do not see the Fitbit integration listed turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.
Data not showing
Fitbit data is synced periodically and depends on the device being synced with Fitbit. If data is not shown immediately after a Fitbit device stores data, check LIFE Extend an hour later. While LIFE Points will reflect any newly synced data immediately, the LIFE Extend pillars and Progress view may take more time to reflect the data. If you do not see LIFE Points updating after an hour, please verify within the Fitbit app that your device has synced.
Garmin:
Enabling the Garmin Data Sync will periodically synchronize your health data in the cloud. Garmin records created after you enable syncing will be uploaded. While LIFE Points will reflect any newly synced data immediately, the LIFE Extend pillars and Progress view may take more time to reflect the data.
Enabling
To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within LIFE Extend. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings. Select the type of data you'd like to sync, and all records created after that point will be synced automatically.
Data Synced
Pillar: Activities
Garmin activity records are synced for the LIFE Extend Activity pillar.
Pillar: Sleep
Garmin sleep records are synced for the LIFE Extend Sleep pillar.
Troubleshooting
If you do not see the Garmin integration
If you do not see the Garmin integration listed turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time.
Data not showing
Garmin data is synced periodically and depends on the device being synced with Garmin. If data is not shown immediately after Garmin Connect syncs, check LIFE Extend an hour later. While LIFE Points will reflect any newly synced data immediately, the LIFE Extend pillars and Progress view may take more time to reflect the data. If you do not see LIFE Points updating after an hour, please verify within the Garmin Connect app that your device has synced.
Oura:
Enabling the Oura Data Sync will attempt to synchronize your health data on a periodic basis in the cloud, outside of the LIFE Extend app. Oura records which are created after you enable syncing will be uploaded. While LIFE Points will reflect any newly synced data immediately, the LIFE Extend Sleep pillar may take more time to reflect the data.
Enabling
To enable Data Sync, start by going to the Profile tab within LIFE Extend. Tap Settings in the upper right, then select Sync Data in the list of settings.
Syncing
The Oura app will need to gather data from your ring and upload it to the Oura Cloud before LifeOmic can sync with your data. Please leave your Oura app open in the foreground to ensure that your data is collected. If you have noticed that your data is available in the Oura app but not in the Oura Cloud, please follow these steps.
Data
Pillar: Sleep
Oura sleep records are synced for the LIFE Extend Sleep pillar.
Troubleshooting
If you do not see the Oura integration
If you do not see the Oura integration listed turn off any other integrations you currently have turned on. We currently only support one active wearables integration (including HealthKit) at a time. If you are using an Apple iPhone, you can use the HealthKit integration instead of the Oura integration to incorporate data from Oura and any other HealthKit enabled device.
