Connecting your sleep from Health Connect (Android)

This is simpler than it looks. MigraineMe does not talk to your watch or your sleep app directly. Instead, it reads from Health Connect, a free app from Google that acts as a middleman. Your sleep app (Samsung Health, Fitbit, Google Fit, Sleep as Android, and so on) sends its data to Health Connect, and MigraineMe reads it from there.

This is a one-time setup. After this, your sleep will appear in MigraineMe each morning on its own.

Step 1: Make sure Health Connect is installed

On most newer Android phones, Health Connect is already there. On older phones you may need to install it.

1. Open the Play Store.
2. In the search bar, type Health Connect.
3. If you see Install, tap it. If you see Open, you already have it.

Step 2: Open MigraineMe

1. Find the MigraineMe icon on your home screen.
2. Tap it.

Step 3: Connect Health Connect

1. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
2. Tap Connections.
3. Find Health Connect in the list.
4. Tap the Connect button next to it.
5. A new screen will appear. This screen comes from Health Connect, not from us.
6. At the top there is a row that says Allow all. Tap it.
7. Scroll down to make sure Sleep is ticked.
8. Tap Allow at the bottom.

The screen will close on its own.

Step 4: Check that it worked

1. Tap the Monitor tab at the bottom of MigraineMe.
2. Scroll to the Sleep card.
3. If your watch or phone tracked last night's sleep, you should see it here.

If the card is empty, sleep can take an hour or two to appear after you wake up. Try again later in the day.

If something went wrong

Health Connect says it has no data

This means your sleep app has not been told to send to Health Connect yet.

1. Open the Health Connect app directly from your home screen, or from Settings, Apps, Health Connect.
2. Tap App permissions.
3. Find your sleep app (for example Samsung Health, Fitbit, or Sleep as Android).
4. Tap it.
5. Turn on the switch for Sleep.
6. Tap Allow.

Close MigraineMe and open it again. It checks Health Connect each time you open it.

The Connect button is missing

Your Android version may be too old for Health Connect. Health Connect needs Android 9 or newer. If your phone is older, ask whoever helps you with your phone whether an update is possible.

I want to change what MigraineMe can see

1. Open Health Connect.
2. Tap App permissions.
3. Tap MigraineMe.
4. Switch things on or off as you like.

A gentle note

MigraineMe only reads from Health Connect. It cannot send things to it. Your sleep stays on your phone and in your account, and you can switch this off at any time.
