Please add export data to Apple Health. It’s really important to users

I don't know why this feature hasn't been implemented yet. It seems like it should be the top priority. We have to keep paying for third-party apps that don't work well just because we can't send data to Apple Health. Because of this, other apps like Athlytic and Bevel don't have data to analyze our fitness or health. Please make this a priority. It's so frustrating...

    I agree. It sucks. Strava integration to Apple health works most of the time but it loose hr data sometimes. It would be nice to have it

    I also want this. I'm currently using the HealthFit app in the iPhone, the procedure is: download the .fit file from the iPhone's Hammerhead app and push it to HealthFit, which in turns imports it into Apple Health. I'd be happier with real integration and not having to go through yet another third-party app.

    can someone from @hammerheadsupport respond to this? 

    Here was an official response over 4 years ago before the companion app.  with the companion app you would think that HealthKit integration would be easy

    Since there is an iOS app (Companion App), it shouldn't be a problem for developers. Other brands such as Wahoo manage to do it somehow...

    I am able to import rides into Apple Health using intervals.icu and the intervals companion app on my iPhone. 

    Hammerhead links directly to intervals.icu so all rides are uploaded automatically.

    In the Intervals.icu Companion app, under Settings/Apple Health Sync, I enable the app to push rides from Hammerhead to Apple Health.

    Works brilliantly!

    Buenas tardes Kent:

    Tu diras como lo haces.

    Uso hace tiempo Intervals.icu y en setting no prarece la opción Apple Health Sync.

    Tienes conexiones varias y aplicaciones pero no la posibilidad de conectar en Apple.

    Un saludo

    De nuevo buenas tardes:

    Yo utilizo la aplicación intervals.icu desde el Pc. No sabia que existia una App para el Iphone.

    La he instalado y he comprobado que lo que dice Kent es cierto.

    Gracias Kent por tu aportación.

    Un saludo.

    Gracias Kent.

    Ya la he instalado y funciona. Como decia, sulo utilizar Intervals.icu en el Pc y no existe la conexión con

    Apple Healt.

    Con la aplicación que indicas, ya he configurado y como bien dices tu, actualiza en Apple Healt.

    Una maravilla.

    I do the same thing by exporting my hammer head ride to Healthfit and Healthfit then pushes to apple health.  Healthfit has amazing insights and a very rich ai description of your ride plus a lot of stat breakdown that hammer head doesn't have

     

    (I am trying to appeal to hammerhead to connect to apple health themselves, by not doing it they are encouraging folks to use other apps to do so and might find something better) We haven't been able to get them to do it via logic so the only other way I know is to appeal to their business sense.

    I'm very happy with the integration of Apple Health, though I noticed two things that could be improved (I've already opened a support ticket).

    For Workouts data, total elapsed time is used instead of actual (moving) ride time. The ride time should be used as the workout duration. Additional data, such as ascent and descent, maximum speed, and similar metrics, could also be integrated into Apple Health.

    The bigger issue for me is the handling of the Heart Rate data. Hammerhead is writing only one single data point, the average heart rate with the start and end time of the workout. Hammerhead has the individual measurements of the heart rate with a given time as a data point and should use this information instead. All of the measured heart rate data should be included in Apple Health with the time when it was measured. This is way more accurate than using just an average value.

    Same here, @Bernd — not only heart rate, but power is also shown only as an average

    I was happy with the announcement and the integration works fine, but without heart rate data it's pretty useless for me. 
    I'm using other health apps that need the heart rate data for analysing.

    Pleased that HH have responded to customer demand, but am interested to know why folks wanted it / what they will use the connection for? EG is it for apple's fitness insights or easy transmission of activities to other apps that connect to health? Just curious !

    For me, Apple Health is my central hub for all health and wellness data.

    I use it to collect and store everything in one place: cycling workouts, other exercise and cardio data, sleep (from my Apple Watch and other sleep-tracking devices), nutrition (my food tracker writes to Apple Health), weight (Withings scale), blood pressure, medications, doctor visits, and even lab results from diagnostic labs.

    The value isn’t just Apple’s own fitness insights—it’s that Apple Health becomes a single, normalized data source that other apps can tap into. Apps like Athlytic (and likely future tools) can then analyze training load, recovery, sleep, HRV, and overall health trends across devices and platforms, instead of being siloed.

    I have had to different experiences.  The first apple health write did it by time not distance, but it had the correct HR but no power.  the second write did it by miles not time but the heart rate was inaccurate and only one power reading.

    Today I synced my first ride with the new Apple Health integration and I'm really disappointed.

    The power and heart rate data are missing.

    Very disappointing.

    It is a good start, that rides are now able to be synced to Apple Health. But it is not done well. There is a lot written above. There is also no map of the ride. I directly stopped using the sync and went back to the good working HealthFit. Download the fit file to the app and all wanted data is in health.

    I cant believe that it is so difficult to sync all possible data to health.
