Apple Health + Practice Better

Let clients sync Apple Health data straight into their journals, so you can track activity, sleep, and vitals without extra intake work.

What is Apple Health?

Apple Health is the data hub built into the iPhone that collects activity, sleep, and vitals from a client's phone and connected devices like Apple Watch, Garmin, and Oura Ring. Once you enable the right journal entries for a client, they can link their own Apple Health from the Practice Better mobile app, and their data syncs automatically into their journals. The integration works through the Practice Better mobile app only, on iOS 12 or later.

What you can do with Apple Health

See more without asking for more — Review the activity, sleep, and vitals a client already tracks on their iPhone or Apple Watch, without a separate intake form.

Capture data from whatever they already wear — If a client's Apple Watch, Garmin, or Oura Ring already feeds into Apple Health, it syncs to Practice Better without a separate connection.

Let clients control what's shared — They can turn specific metrics on or off anytime from their iPhone's Health app, without redoing the setup.

Start with context, not a blank journal — The first sync pulls in 60 days of past data, so you're not starting from zero.

Let your clients sync Apple Health in minutes.

Turn on the right journal entries, and your clients can link Apple Health straight from the Practice Better mobile app.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything on my phone to use Apple Health?

No. Apple Health links from your client's phone, not yours. You just need to enable Activity, Measurements, or Sleep entries on their journal so the option appears for them.

What data syncs from Apple Health?

Whatever categories your client chooses to share, commonly activity, sleep, and vitals, synced into their Food and Lifestyle journals.

Can clients sync Apple Health from a Mac or the web portal?

No, Apple Health only links through the Practice Better mobile app on iPhones running iOS 12 or later.

How often does Apple Health data update?

Practice Better pulls in 60 days of history on the first sync, then refreshes automatically multiple times a day while the client's device is in use.

Can a client unlink Apple Health later?

Yes, clients can unlink anytime from their mobile app, and choose whether to keep or remove the data already synced to their journal.
