Data Types & Units

  • iOS supports HealthKit-specific types such as workouts, ECG, sleep stages, nutrition, and many biometrics.
  • Android supports Health Connect types including steps, heart rate, sleep, speed/distance, nutrition, hydration, menstruation flow, and more.

The plugin exposes two convenience lists:

// iOS
const List<HealthDataType> dataTypesIOS = [...];


// Android
const List<HealthDataType> dataTypesAndroid = [...];

Use them for quick testing or to build permission requests.

Units

Section titled “Units”

Each type maps to a default unit via dataTypeToUnit (e.g., HEART_RATE → BEATS_PER_MINUTE, WEIGHT → KILOGRAM). On reads you can optionally request a preferred unit per type.

final unit = dataTypeToUnit[HealthDataType.HEART_RATE]; // BEATS_PER_MINUTE

Sleep & Headache Categories

Section titled “Sleep & Headache Categories”

For sleep and headache categorical types, values are converted to minutes based on the dateFrom/dateTo interval.

Workouts

Section titled “Workouts”

Workouts are represented as HealthDataType.WORKOUT with a WorkoutHealthValue that may include:

  • workoutActivityType
  • totalEnergyBurned (+ unit)
  • totalDistance (+ unit)
  • totalSteps (+ unit)

An additional workoutSummary is attached when available.

Special Data

Section titled “Special Data”
  • ECG (ELECTROCARDIOGRAM) parses voltage series, average heart rate, sampling frequency, and classification.
  • Nutrition (NUTRITION) supports a wide set of macro/micronutrients.
  • Menstruation flow (MENSTRUATION_FLOW) normalizes platform-specific values.

Full Enums

Section titled “Full Enums”
