Track blood pressure and weight from Withings to GC?

I used to own a Vivoactive HR and had my Withings scale and blood pressure cuff connected to my GC dashboard.

Is this functionality not just gone? I think there was a connection between Withings > MyFitnessPal > Garmin. I know I can add my weight manually or there seems to be a service to do this.

I just got a new Venu and wanted to start tracking again... what are my options? I think having all my health data in one place is important.

Anyone have any feedback on this having a "single pain of glass" for collected health data? Anyone use Google Fit? I should probably start a new thread for this.

Yes, for me it is Apple Health.

Can you use apple health if you have zero Apple products?

Like with my Garmin watch for example

No!
You need at least one device. It is most common the iPhone, but I think iPads will work also (have to check if they have health support).
You can't use a service wich stores data ONLY on the device without any device :-D

I just checked, the downside of apple health is it doesnt take activity details from Garmin.
You see duration and calories, but not were u went or even finer details?

Apple Health is not a fitness app but a central store for all your health related data in one place. You need other aps and/or devices to collect all that data. Exceptions are steps, distances run or cycled, flights climbed and similar. These will be tracked by the iPhone or Apple Watch with their build-in sensors.

Almost any fitness app on the market can write and also sometimes read to and from Apple Health.

Health is part of iOS and so you need either an iPhone or a watch from Apple. iPads do not have Health.
