The Share My Health Data app allows Veterans to view data from health tracking devices all in one place and share it with VA care teams. Examples of ways to share data include compatible fitness watches such as a Fitbit, Garmin, or Apple Watch, and fitness trackers such as Apple Health. You can also pair compatible Bluetooth devices such as weight scales and blood pressure monitors. You can manually enter health data such as blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, pulse oximetry, temperature, and weight.

Any Veteran enrolled in VA health care with Login.gov, ID.me, or DS Logon Level 2 (Premium) account credentials can use Share My Health Data.

NOTE: In 2025, Veterans will have two secure sign-in account options (Login.gov and ID.me) for all VA websites and apps. My HealtheVet Premium account credentials are retired effective January 31, 2025, and the DS Logon account credentials are retiring after September 30, 2025. Learn how to prepare for VA’s sign-in changes.
