− | '''Apple Health''' is a software tool that exists on iOS devices (i.e. [[iPhone]]) to aggregate a wide range of health related metrics. iPhones by themselves do store a lot of data within Apple Health and so do [[Apple Watch]]<nowiki/>es, if linked to the same iPhone. Additionally, other apps and devices (such as [[Oura Ring]] or [[Withings Sleep|Withings]]) can write into Apple Health too. | + | '''Apple Health''' is a software for [[iPhone]] that allows aggregating a wide range of health related metrics. iPhones by themselves already do store a lot of data within Apple Health and so do [[Apple Watch]]<nowiki/>es, if linked to the same iPhone.

Apple Health does not have any web-based APIs to export data, but third-party integrations that run as iOS apps (like [[Health Auto Export (Apple)|Health Auto Export]]) can provide such functionalities. |

− | Data can be exported in many ways…
| + | Apple Health provides "sharing" methods for metrics with other iOS users and doctors, but only very limited data export methods by default. The main data export method is a large XML export<ref>https://support.apple.com/en-mz/guide/iphone/iph5ede58c3d/ios</ref>, which exports all the data in one large ZIP file that contains all the data across a number of XML files. While this data set is complete, it is not very accessible – as XML is less trivial to read and becomes quite large and also requires the manual export. |
| | | |
| + | For the automated export some people in the community have made good experiences with [[Health Auto Export (Apple)|Health Auto Export]], for exporting the data in more accessible CSV files and also through automated exports. |
