How does Withings linking work?
Linking your account with Withings enhances your health tracking by automatically importing various health metrics directly from the Withings website. Once connected, the following data from your Withings activity tracker will be synced to MyNetDiary or PlateAI:
- Daily Caloric Burn: Recorded as exercise entries, contributing to your calorie balance and analysis.
- Daily Steps: Your steps are counted and recorded.
- Sleep Duration: Hours of sleep are tracked and logged.
- Weight Measurements: Updates your weight records within MyNetDiary.
- Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: Both systolic/diastolic blood pressure and heart rate data are added to your daily tracking and measurement records.
The synchronization process is automatic, occurring once daily or shortly after you log food in our app, limited to one update per hour. If no food is logged for 10 consecutive days, MyNetDiary or PlateAI will pause the data sync from Withings. Resuming food logging in the app will also resume the data download from Withings.
To manually initiate the download of today's data sooner, navigate to the Account tab, select the Withings link to access the Withings Settings page, and then press the “Verify link” button.
When your Withings device syncs with the Withings website, MyNetDiary and PlateAI are promptly notified and automatically download any new data, covering the last 10 days of activity each time the link is established or reconnected.
The integration is one-way; linking your accounts allows the website to access and display your Withings data in your account across various tabs and screens for exercise, daily steps, sleep, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate monitoring.
You have the flexibility to select which data types to sync from Withings through the Withings Settings page in MyNetDiary and PlateAI.
