To connect an Oura Ring or Withings device, sign in first.
This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
If you already wear an Oura Ring, or use a Withings scale or blood pressure cuff, SeniorThrive can read the numbers your device already tracks. No new gadget to buy. No extra app to open every morning.
Here is what changes when you connect one.
Your record fills itself in. Sleep, steps, and heart rate come in from your device, so what SeniorThrive holds reflects your real week rather than only what you remembered to type.
You stop double-entering. If your cuff already read your blood pressure this morning, you can pull it in instead of typing it.
Your family sees the same picture you do, and only the parts you choose to share. You control that in Settings, under Privacy & Sharing.
To connect a device
Open Settings, then the Devices & Setup tab.
Find your device, Oura Ring or Withings, and tap Connect.
Sign in with the account you already use for that device.
Grant permission. That is it.
Those are the two direct connections. Oura brings sleep, heart rate and daily steps; Withings brings weight, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature and oxygen level.
If you are a family member
The same tab shows you what your loved one has already connected. A device she paired says Already connected rather than Connect, so you are not asked to set up a ring she is already wearing and end up with your own numbers in her record. If we could not read it, the cards stay as they were rather than telling you she has nothing.
If you have a Fitbit
Fitbit no longer connects to SeniorThrive directly. If you used to sync one, that connection has ended.
On an iPhone there is still a way in, described next. On Android or the web, a Fitbit's numbers will need to be entered by hand, and that is a fair amount of typing for daily readings. If this is the difference between tracking something and not tracking it, tell us, because we would rather hear it than have you quietly give up on the numbers.
The Apple Health door, on iPhone
Most devices already write their numbers into Apple Health, including Apple Watch, Garmin and Fitbit. If you use the SeniorThrive app on an iPhone, you can connect Apple Health on the Devices & Setup tab and those numbers flow in the same way.
One thing to know: this door only exists in the iPhone app. Apple Health is not available on the website or on Android, so you will not see the card there.
How syncing works
Syncing is not automatic. When you want the latest numbers, come back to Devices & Setup and tap Sync Now. Each sync pulls the last seven days from your device. Expect to do this every few days, or whenever you want fresh numbers before a doctor visit.
If you have already written a reading in by hand that day, say, a blood pressure you logged at breakfast, that one stays. We never overwrite what you entered yourself.
A note on your data
We only pull data your device is already capturing. We do not ask for anything extra, and we never sell it. The privacy article covers the full picture.
If a sync does not bring in what you expected
It is almost always because your device has not talked to its own app recently, and we pull from there. Open the Oura or Withings app on your phone first. Let it refresh. Then come back to Devices & Setup and tap Sync Now again.
