Description

Hi, I have a question about an upcoming AAPS version. We attended a training this weekend, where we were informed that connecting our Garmin watch with AAPS will be possible in the next update. This would allow the AAPS algorithm to access data like heart rate and step count, and based on this information, the algorithm could potentially adjust insulin settings accordingly.

My question is whether it will also be possible to import data on metrics like body battery or sleep quality. After a poor night’s sleep, my son is often more fatigued, and his response to insulin can differ from usual.

Milos Kozak mentioned that the key question is whether Garmin can send this additional data outside of its own app, or if only data like heart rate and step count can be shared.

Thank you.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First determine whether Garmin exposes body battery and sleep-quality data outside its own app; done means documenting whether AAPS can import those metrics and, if so, where the integration should handle them.
