Apple Health Guide

Integrating with Apple Health data can make tracking your health so much easier. Getting the integration set-up is easy.

Apple Health is supported by HealthCheck360 as long as your Apple Watch is connected to Apple Health. 

Please Note: Apple Health can only be connected from the mobile app. You cannot connect from the full desktop site. The Apple Health data is an "opt-in" set-up and must be done on your phone since the data is saved within Apple Health.

  • Nutrition
  • Sleep
  • Glucose
  • Blood Preassure
  • Heart Rate

DATA STOPPED SYNCING

Apple Health requires a connection with myHealthCheck360 to sync data. Sometimes the connection is stopped and requires the myHealthCheck360 app to be relaunched. This may happen when the myHealthCheck360 app is closed by the user swiping up on it from the multitasking view, the OS closing the app due to low memory or low battery, or the user’s phone being rebooted. The user must restart the myHealthCheck360 app by closing and re-opening it to resume the data connection with Apple Health. We also recommend confirming there is activity data displaying within the Apple Health app.

Note: Apple will not sync historical data. We recommend users regularly log in to their myHealthCheck360 account to confirm their Apple Connection.

APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION TIPS

  • Apple Health is supported by HealthCheck360 as long as your Apple Watch is connected to Apple Health. 
  • Apple Health can only be connected from the mobile app. You cannot connect from the full desktop site. The Apple Health data is an "opt-in" set-up and must be done on your phone since the data is saved within Apple Health. 
  • If you have other device or app connections like Garmin or Fitbit, currently tied into myHealthCheck360, you may want to remove those other connections to prevent data duplication. 
  • If you have those other integrations connected in Apple Health, you can update your Apple Health settings to determine which data comes through for each tracker. 
  • Additional Troubleshooting Steps to resync from your Apple Health App:
    • Log into your Apple Health App
    • Click on your profile picture/or initials on the right top corner
    • Click on Device under "Privacy"
    • Select your Apple Watch (if you have multiple, look for the one that does not say "This Apple Watch is no longer paired with this iPhone")
    • Click Privacy Setting on left top corner
    • Scroll to bottom and click "Reset Fitness Calibration Data".
    •  It may take 5-10 minutes for  you to see the data in MyHealthcCheck360. We suggestion logging out and back in to see the syncing reflect.
