Right now I use Samsung Gear Fit Pro and it's super annoying that I cannot view/interact with my health data on a desktop. I'm investigating porting/feeding data into Google Fit or some other more flexible alternative. Is there any plans for Shimmer integration for this in the future? I'm keen on building something soon rather than waiting.

Would also like to get S Health data into this standard.

https://developer.samsung.com/health/android gives some details of what access is available

As I understand the integration with S Health is a little bit tricky. Samsung SDK requires that S Health is installed on the device. What I get from their documentation is that the data is accessed directly from phone storage and not through a WebAPI. But even that way you need to get you application approved by Samsung. There is also the option of the WebAPI but this it is not available publicly, it is only available to some 'key' partners.
