Connector: Apple HealthKit (Patient-side)
Connector: Apple HealthKit (Patient-side)

Implements HealthKit reads with user consent and background delivery. The native app signs payloads and posts to the gateway using user-bound tokens.

Implements HealthKit permissions, background delivery, and batch export with per-type scopes. Normalizes time zones and device metadata to preserve clinical usefulness.

Benefits

  • Granular opt-in by data type
  • Resilient background sync
  • Device provenance captured

Notes

  • Be explicit about what does not leave the device without consent.

Great for:

  • Care Teams and Coordinators: Receive patient-shared wellness data with clear provenance and consent. Use background sync to reduce manual follow-up.
  • Mobile Product Leads: Offer granular opt-in experiences for heart rate, ECG, steps, and HRV, without reinventing HealthKit flows.
  • Privacy and Consent Architects: Ensure patient-side control with per-type scopes and signed payloads. Enforce what stays local vs. what transmits.
