I am new in google fit API, I want to know there is any API in google fit that can be through we detect free fall without device motion, like shaking, rotating, and moving?
right now google fit not support like free-fall detection like apple health kit, you need to go with sensors
I am sharing my approach and findings for this challenge.
step 1) what is free fall and how to solve using algo https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0037062 https://patents.google.com/patent/US8217795B2/en
step 2)health kit vs google fit health kit has the option for free-fall detection https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/hkquantitytypeidentifier/1615592-numberoftimesfallen google fit: https://developers.google.com/fit/android/data-types For google fit there no datatype for free fall and as per the below article and spending some hand-on programming I am not finding a way for fall detection https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/what-is-google-fit-2923688
the line "Before you even look at third party app compatibility, Apple Health already has more data categories than Google Fit, including blood type, sleep pattern, and how many times you’ve fallen over – if you’re prone to falls."
