HealthKit counterpart

No verified HealthKit counterpart. The cross-platform matrix only pairs metrics checked against both Apple’s and Google’s documentation, and IntermenstrualBleedingRecord is not among them yet. A similarly named Apple type may exist on the HealthKit reference, but a name match is not a verified mapping.

Questions

What permission does IntermenstrualBleedingRecord need?

Google's Health Connect data-types table (read 2026-10-03) declares android.permission.health.READ_INTERMENSTRUAL_BLEEDING for reading IntermenstrualBleedingRecord and android.permission.health.WRITE_INTERMENSTRUAL_BLEEDING for writing it, and says apps must declare permissions in the manifest before requesting them.

Can you aggregate IntermenstrualBleedingRecord with AggregateRequest?

Not directly. As read on 2026-10-03, Google's Jetpack reference defines no AggregateMetric constants on IntermenstrualBleedingRecord, so there is no metric to put in an AggregateRequest. Read the records with readRecords and a ReadRecordsRequest, and compute any summary yourself.

Is IntermenstrualBleedingRecord an interval, instantaneous or series record?

Google's data-types table lists IntermenstrualBleedingRecord as Instantaneous, and defines that column as indicating "whether the data is recorded at an instant in time or over an interval". Its mandatory fields are metadata and time.
