Google Health Releases Open-Source CLI for Personal Wearable Data

The tool lets developers or AI agents pull device metrics through the Google Health API using secure Google Cloud credentials.

Overview

  • The CLI is published as an open-source repository on GitHub and installs with a guided setup command that links a user project to Google Cloud Console for credentialed access.
  • It exposes more than 40 health and wellness metrics from linked devices such as Fitbit and Pixel Watch, including activity, sleep, heart rate, and VO2Max.
  • Users can export data in streamlined JSON, terminal-friendly tables, or CSV formats for spreadsheets and custom dashboards.
  • The release includes two starter skills to simplify agent authentication and examples for automations like trend monitoring, calendar integrations, and custom health alerts.
  • Google positions the CLI for both commercial developers and individual health enthusiasts, which could speed third-party app development and make personal automations and analytics easier to build.
