Sunday Shortcut: Exporting Data from the Health App
The Apple Health app is a fantastic way to securely store and visualise your health data, but it doesn’t offer a simple way to share that information with others. There are many great apps for doing powerful things with this information right on your phone, but sometimes this isn’t enough.
I have a Withings Smart Blood Pressure Monitor, which automatically syncs readings to the Health app, and recently needed to share this information with my doctor. This was a perfect task for Shortcuts - I had complete control over the format and didn’t need to find and install a new app to handle this private information.
If you’d like to try it out, you can download the shortcut here. This could be modified to handle any other type of health sample.
As always, let me know if you have any feedback, or would like to request a shortcut, on Twitter.
Until next week,
Rebecca
