Shiny.Health

Shiny Health

Apple Health and Google Fit for your .NET7+ .NET Mobile apps

Features

• Read summary values between timestamps and specified interval
• Query distance, step count, calory intake, & heart rate
• TODO: Write values

How To Use

IHealthService health; // inject, resolve, etc

// request permissions
var result = await health.RequestPermission(
    new Permission(DistanceHealthMetric.Default, PermissionType.Read),
    new Permission(CaloriesHealthMetric.Default, PermissionType.Read),
    new Permission(StepCountHealthMetric.Default, PermissionType.Read),
    new Permission(HeartRateHealthMetric.Default, PermissionType.Read)
);
if (!result)
{
    // say something useful
}

var end = DateTimeOffset.Now;
var start = DateTimeOffset.Now.AddDays(-1);

// now run your queries
var distance = (await health.Query(DistanceHealthMetric.Default, start, end, Interval.Days)).Sum(x => x.Value);
var calories = (await health.Query(CaloriesHealthMetric.Default, start, end, Interval.Days)).Sum(x => x.Value);
var steps = (await health.Query(StepCountHealthMetric.Default, start, end, Interval.Days)).Sum(x => x.Value);
var heartRate = (await health.Query(HeartRateHealthMetric.Default, start, end, Interval.Days)).Average(x => x.Value);

Setup

MAUI

Install Shiny.Health from

Now, in your MauiProgram.cs, add:

public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
    var builder = MauiApp
        .CreateBuilder()
        .UseShiny()
        .UseMauiApp<App>()
        .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
        {
            fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
            fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold"); 
        });

    builder.Services.AddHealthIntegration();
    return builder.Build();
}
