• Yes, LiveWell can indirectly sync with wearable health devices.
• To sync the data from your wearable with LiveWell, open your wearable’s companion app and sync your data there before opening Livewell.
• If your wearable’s companion app indirectly syncs with LiveWell, you’ll also need to sync it with Apple Health, Google Fit, or Google Health Connect before opening LiveWell.
Yes, you can link multiple fitness apps and wearable devices to the LiveWell App at the same time. Our algorithms merge activity data in a way that no duplicate activity is recorded, giving you an accurate reflection of your daily activity, even if multiple apps and devices are connected at the same time.
No, you will not lose your data. The data that LiveWell has received from your connected devices is securely stored in your LiveWell account. When you connect your new device, we simply start collecting new data from there. If you install the LiveWell App on a new phone, make sure you log into your existing LiveWell account which holds all of your activity data you have collected so far.
There can be several reasons for this, including a potential delay in data being synced from your device to LiveWell. Make sure that you have synced your wearable device with its companion app on your phone. If you have multiple fitness apps connected to the LiveWell App at the same time, the LiveWell Goals screen will show combined values that will differ from what you see in each connected fitness app. If you continue to see a significant difference in the data, please contact us by emailing support.livewell@zurich.com.
