Apple Health and Health Connect
Sleep, HRV and resting heart rate from the phone, and the workouts only your watch app knows.
Many watches write to the phone's health store and nowhere else. Milewise reads from there, on the phone, with your permission for each kind of data. The iPhone app is in the App Store; the Android app follows on Google Play.
| Phone | Reads |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Apple Health: sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, breathing rate, and workouts other apps wrote there, with their heart rate, distance and energy. |
| Android | Health Connect: eight kinds, the six above plus distance and active calories, read only. Milewise writes nothing into Health Connect. |
Turning it on
- 01
In the Milewise phone app, open You, then Settings, then Connected apps, and press Allow on Apple Health or Health Connect.
- 02
The phone asks which kinds of data Milewise may read. Say yes to what you want the coach to see; everything works with less, the morning check just says less.
- 03
Health data is sensitive by law, so Milewise asks for your consent to store it, once, before the first night is saved. You can withdraw it under You, Settings, Privacy.
A Garmin watch, through Apple Health
On the iPhone, Garmin Connect can write your workouts and your sleep into Apple Health, and Milewise reads them from there, beside intervals.icu or instead of it. Three steps in Garmin Connect, following Garmin's help:
- 01
Open More, then Settings, then Connected Apps, and choose Apple Health.
- 02
Choose Connect with Apple Health and allow every category.
- 03
Open Garmin Connect after each watch sync: Garmin writes into Apple Health only while its app is open.
Then allow Apple Health in Milewise, as above. While your Garmin workouts reach Milewise only through intervals.icu, the iPhone app shows these steps on the Garmin row, under Connected apps. When you switch it on, Garmin copies up to two weeks back, and a workout that also reaches Milewise through intervals.icu usually shows once. Routes, laps and HRV do not come through Apple Health.
Turning it off
Press Turn off on the row: Milewise deletes every night and workout your phones sent from either health store. Taking the permission away in the phone's Health settings stops new reads but deletes nothing here.
