What is Synheart Wear?
Synheart Wear is a unified wearable SDK ecosystem that streams biometric data (HR, HRV, steps, calories, distance) from Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Whoop, and Samsung devices through a single, standardized API across Flutter, Android, and iOS applications.Wondering what data you actually get from each device — and what you don’t?
Wearable signals is the reality check: the access
gates, the raw signals, and what the data becomes downstream.
Key Features
Cross-Platform Support
- Flutter: Cross-platform mobile apps (iOS 13+ / Android API 21+)
- Native Android: Kotlin SDK with Health Connect integration (Android API 21+; target SDK 34+)
- Native iOS: Swift SDK with HealthKit integration (iOS 13.0+)
Multi-Device Support
| Device | Flutter | Android | iOS | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Watch | ✅ | — | ✅ (via HealthKit) | Ready |
| Health Connect | ✅ | ✅ (Native) | ❌ | Ready |
| WHOOP | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Ready |
| BLE Heart Rate Monitors | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Ready |
| Fitbit (Cloud OAuth) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Ready |
| Garmin (Cloud) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Ready |
| Garmin (Native RTS) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | On demand (licensed) |
| Samsung Health | 📋 | 📋 | ❌ | Planned |
| Oura Ring (Cloud OAuth) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Ready |
Garmin Native RTS: The Garmin Health SDK Real-Time Streaming (RTS) capability requires a separate license from Garmin. TheLegend: ✅ Ready | 📋 PlannedGarminHealthfacade is available on demand for licensed integrations. The underlying Garmin Health SDK code is proprietary to Garmin and is not distributed as open source. For cloud-based Garmin data (OAuth + webhooks), useGarminProvider.
BLE Heart Rate Monitor Support
Direct Bluetooth LE connection to any standard heart rate monitor — no cloud API required. Works with devices implementing the standard BLE Heart Rate Profile (0x180D), including:- WHOOP (Broadcast Heart Rate mode)
- Polar chest straps (H10, OH1)
- Wahoo TICKR
- Garmin HRM-Pro / HRM-Dual
Unified data shape
All platform SDKs (synheart_wear, synheart-wear-kotlin,
synheart-wear-swift) emit the same JSON shape from
WearMetrics.toJson():
timestamp, device_id, source, metrics, and meta are required.
metrics keys are scoped by the MetricType enum (hr, hrv_rmssd,
hrv_sdnn, steps, calories, distance, stress); adapters set
the keys they actually have. meta is a free-form
Map<String, Object?> — only meta.battery is read back by the SDK
(via WearMetrics.batteryLevel).
Privacy & security
- Consent-first design — every adapter call is gated by explicit consent grants; revoking consent stops collection immediately.
- Local-data encryption —
LocalCacheuses AES-256-CBC whenenableEncryptionis set onSynheartWearConfig. - No persistent IDs — the SDK does not generate or persist a user-level identifier; integrations supply their own pseudonymous ID.
- Right to revoke —
revokeConsent()clears active permissions and the local cache.

Stability
Synheart Wear is pre-1.0. Minor version bumps may include breaking API changes — pin exact versions (or a tight constraint like^0.3.0) in production, and read each SDK’s CHANGELOG before upgrading. Individual wearable adapters are versioned independently of the SDK; adapter-specific changes are called out in the Adapters page.
