# Apple Health: Activity, Wellness & Weight

You can sync activity, sleep, heart rate, and other health data from Apple Health to your Apotheo check-ins. Apple Health can be used as your primary wearable integration, or as a supplement alongside another wearable like Fitbit, Garmin, Ōura, or Whoop.

## How It Works

There are two ways to use Apple Health for wearable data:

### As your only wearable

If you don't use a Fitbit, Garmin, Ōura, or Whoop, Apple Health can be your primary source of activity and health data. This is ideal if you use an Apple Watch or other devices that write to Apple Health.

### Alongside another wearable

If you already have a primary wearable connected (e.g., Whoop), you can additionally connect Apple Health to sync any extra data that your primary wearable doesn't provide. For example, Whoop + Apple Health gives you all the Whoop data plus steps, weight, and mindful minutes from Apple Health.

## How to Connect

1. Open the **Apotheo iOS app**
2. Go to **Settings > Integrations**
3. Under **Apple Health**, enable **Activity, Wellness & Weight**
4. When prompted, allow Apotheo to read health data from Apple Health

Your health data will sync when you open the Check-In section in the app.

## What Data Syncs

- Steps
- Total Sleep, Deep Sleep, Light Sleep, REM Sleep
- Resting Heart Rate, HRV
- Weight, Body Fat %
- Mindful Minutes

## Troubleshooting

### Nothing is syncing

1. **Submit from the Apotheo iOS app** — Apple Health data won't sync if you submit your check-in from a web browser
2. **Check permissions** — on your iPhone, go to **Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Apotheo** and make sure Apotheo has permission to read the data you want to sync
3. **Check that data exists** — open the Health app on your iPhone and verify that data is available for the dates in your check-in period
4. **Reconnect** — in the Apotheo app, go to **Settings > Integrations** and toggle Apple Health off and back on

### Data is missing for some days

Make sure your Apple Watch or other device is syncing with the Health app. If data doesn't exist in Apple Health for a specific day, it won't appear in Apotheo.

## Requirements

- You must use the **Apotheo iOS app** — Apple Health is not available on Android or via web browser
- Data syncs when you open the **Check-In** section in the app

## Things to Know

- Apple Health acts as a **bridge** — it collects data from your Apple Watch and any other apps or devices that write to Apple Health
- When used alongside a primary wearable, Apple Health only fills in data that the primary wearable doesn't provide
- Data syncs for the **check-in period** — the days between your current and previous check-in
