The partnership highlights how wearables are being used beyond fitness to support long-term health tracking
Garmin watch data can now be used to power deeper metabolic health insights on Hello Inside, the AI-driven platform focused on women’s glucose stability and hormonal health.
The integration pulls biometric data from select Garmin devices—including the Venu 4, Forerunner 570, and Fenix 8—and combines it with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and self-reported lifestyle data.
The primary objective is to move beyond generic glucose tracking and account for the significant metabolic shifts that occur during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and perimenopause—factors frequently overlooked by general-purpose health apps.
The integration focuses heavily on the ‘sleep-glucose’ feedback loop. Using Garmin’s sleep tracking, Hello Inside identifies how disruptions in REM or deep sleep—common during specific hormonal phases—directly contribute to next-day insulin resistance and blood sugar instability.
Similarly, the platform utilizes Garmin’s Body Battery and stress metrics to visualize how physiological strain triggers glucose spikes.
By tapping into Garmin’s Women’s Health API, the system can automatically align these metabolic insights with the user’s menstrual phase, allowing for real-time adjustments to training intensity and nutrition based on shifting insulin sensitivity.

The Wareable take: The ‘context’ era of metabolic tracking
This partnership highlights a critical shift in the wearable market: raw data is no longer enough. While a CGM provides a highly accurate look at blood chemistry, it is essentially “blind” to the lifestyle factors causing those numbers to move.
By using Garmin’s hardware as a contextual layer, Hello Inside is solving the “why” behind the data. If a user experiences a glucose spike, the app can now indicate whether it was caused by a high-carb meal, poor sleep, or a physiological stress spike detected via HRV.
Rather than Garmin building its own intensive metabolic AI, it is opening its API to allow specialists like Hello Inside to do the heavy lifting. This transforms the Garmin watch into a more sophisticated preventive health system, evolving the device from just fitness tracking.
