# MOVE Pilot: Give Health Connect Permissions (Android 13 and below)

For the MOVE Pilot App to collect information about walked steps two things need to be done

* Health Connect needs to be installed, and MOVE Pilot needs access to it.
* There must be a fitness app that reports data into Health Connect installed on your device, such as Samsung Health or Google Fit. If you have a smartwatch or a fitness tracker, you have likely installed such an app already.

This guide covers both of those steps.

### Installing Health Connect & Granting Permissions

To allow MOVE Pilot access to Health , you need the "Health Connect" app and must grant permissions.
