Basic knowledge

What is the method used to extract the data from the source?

• For extraction the RookAppleHealthExtraction SDK has the class RookAHExtractionManager which is the access point to the summaries, It contains three main methods for extraction:
  • getSleepSummary
  • getPhysicalSummary
  • getBodySummary
• And RookAHEventExtractionManager this class is the access point to extract al the data events

How often is new information available?

• The SDK collect the information from Apple health database every time new data is written, it will be available, there are a couple of restrictions:
  • Firstly this database is encrypted which means the devices have to be unlocked to access the data.
  • Secondly, the user has to give explicit permission to read the data.
  • We extract events every hour of the day.

What happens if a user hasn't synced their data?

• The data wouldn’t be sent, a user has to open the application with the SDK or SDK’s implemented.

What are the requirements to extract information from the data source?

• Health app installed https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-health/id1242545199
• Grant health permissions to their app.
• Currently, the user needs an Apple watch to inject health data, into the heath container and the SDK reads that data.
• Privacy policy: Clients need to request permission to read health data from Apple Health, describing how they will use the data.
