Connecting Garmin devices to WeGuide: Complete Integration Guide

This guide walks you through connecting Garmin wearable devices to the WeGuide platform for health research studies. Our streamlined process ensures reliable collection of metrics like heart rate, sleep patterns, and physical activity data through seamless Garmin Health integration.


Garmin devices offer clinical-grade biometric tracking capabilities that are important for modern medical research and health research. Through WeGuide's wearable integration platform, researchers can access continuous health monitoring by means of asking participants to wear and conenct a wearable device. This allows researchers to setup innovative research studies that weren't possible before.


In this guide, we will explain how you can connect your Garmin Devices to WeGuide



Step 1: Access the WeGuide Mobile App

  • Open the WeGuide app and locate the Garmin Connect task in your program dashboard
