Google Fit Salesforce Health Cloud Integration

• Import Fitness Metrics:
  Easily import fitness metrics, such as steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and calories burned, from Google Fit into Salesforce Health Cloud.
• Remote Monitoring:
  Enable healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ fitness progress and health trends in real-time scenarios.
  • Enable healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ fitness progress and health trends in real-time.
  • Ability to create care observation records based on the imported fitness data. These care observation records provide valuable insights into patients’ fitness progress and serve as a basis for remote monitoring and personalized care.
• Real-Time Monitoring:
  Regularly update the care observation records with the latest fitness data from Google Fit to ensure accurate and up-to-date remote monitoring.

You have to do the remote monitoring setup as a basic configuration so that you can easily do monitoring of patients’ data after synchronizing their healthcare data from Google Fit to Salesforce Health Cloud. Create sets of code, units of measurement, and targets for care metrics to establish the framework for remote monitoring. Empower care coordinators to remotely monitor the health metrics by showcasing care observations and charts for remote monitoring on the patient’s profile page.

For remote monitoring, you have to do the setup of following:

• Create Code Sets For Health Care Metrics

The code sets are the fitness metrics that the healthcare provider uses to track the fitness of the patients such as step count, Blood sugar level, oxygen level, Blood pressure, and more. You have to define the Code Sets in Salesforce Health Cloud that your providers use for their patients. The process is easy to create and activate the code sets.

• Create The Units Of Measure For Health Care Metrics

In this, you have to define your measuring units for the code sets that you have created for healthcare metrics. For example, if you have created a Steps code set then create a unit of measure as Steps. If you have created the code set amount of exercise then create a unit of measure as Hours per week.

It helps to record the data in correct units by choosing the correct unit of measure for the code sets simultaneously.

• Set Org-Level Care Metric Targets

Healthcare providers can set up Org-level metric goals/targets for their patients. These goals are used by the care coordinators as the beginning point to set further targets for patients according to their health history. This is optional so it can only be created as per your provider’s requirement.

• Add Care Observations To The Patient Account Page

On the Patient Care page, you have to provide the view of care observation as the related list. Displaying the view of care observations also helps care coordinators track the real-time biometric data of patients.

• Display The Charts of Remote Monitoring On The Patient Account Page

Display the charts on the patient’s account page that show the biometric data and health metrics. For example step count, Blood sugar level, oxygen level, Blood pressure, and more. This display helps care coordinators track the patient’s data. For sharing relevant visible data with care coordinators, you have to add the Remote Charting Component to the patient’s account page; also verify field level security on the health metric fields.

To Set Up Remote Monitoring Using Google Fitness Data you have to follow the step-by-step procedure.

Adding metrics creates a list that what kind of data you want to sync from Google Fit to Salesforce Health Cloud.

• Open the builder section of your patient community
• Then add the “GoogleAuthentication” component onto a community page

By doing so, the patients can log in to the community and authorize themselves against their Google credentials using the component.

Now, the patient has to authenticate their account with Google credentials, which helps to authorize their Google Fit data. After this, it becomes easy to sync the healthcare data.

• For this, patients have to log in with their Google credentials to authenticate their account.

• Then, click on Go to site.com button to continue.

• Now, add all the mentioned scopes and after that click on the Continue button to proceed further.

• You are now logged in and here you will see your goals/targets assigned by your healthcare provider.

• For this, you have to go to the Google Fit Salesforce Health Cloud integration application
• App Configuration >> App Settings >> Scheduled Settings
• Select the time when you want to sync your data on a regular basis.
• Then click on the Schedule button.

• When scheduled, it shows you the Scheduled Job Details on your screen.
• If you want to cancel this scheduled job or you want to create a new scheduled job then click on the Abort button.

• When you are done with the scheduling process, go to App Launcher and type Care Observation
• Then click on the Care Observations option to view the sync data that you have scheduled above.

• When you open any of the records you get a view as below snapshot.

Healthcare providers can set up remote monitoring by synchronizing the patient’s fitness metrics on a daily basis from their Google Fit account to Salesforce Health Cloud. They are able to set goals/targets for the patients as well which helps them to monitor the insights. This allows them to check the progress of patients and also decreases the back-to-back visits of patients to their healthcare providers.
