This is important! Also look into Heart Rate Variability please!!! - very important for stress level analysis

Wouldn’t integrating all data available through apple health be simpler than dealing with apps/services piecemeal ? Apart of course from specific data not being imported in it!

Hi Serge,

If you mean why don’t we integrate all Apple Health data at once, that’s because different types of data are stored differently in Apple Health, so I have to write specific code for each type of data—there’s no way to just grab everything.

If you mean why don’t we use Apple Health instead of building direct integrations with other devices and services, that’s because a) not everyone has an iPhone or even wants to use Apple Heath, and b) Apple Health doesn’t cover all types of data, or have the best quality data in many cases.

Belle, I agree with both of your points above but Serge still has a valid point. You’d reach more people with greater functionality faster by making Health Kit integration the priority and then concentrating on the one off apps.

Michael, it’s all well and good to say that as an iPhone owner, but not all of our users have one :) in terms of the iOS app development, we are indeed prioritising HealthKit data, but it doesn’t make sense to rest our entire platform on it.

Also, there are many types of data we are interested in, and not all of them are health or activity related! HealthKit is not a silver bullet for everything users are after.

I would like to vote for this one again or at least have the ability to track blood pressure, even if it is not from apple health but obviously, I would prefer apple health blood pressure data to be imported.

Agreed, this would be useful but taking a snapshot at a certain time in the day might not produce useful results, from day to day.

This is my number one request. Lots of important deductions can be made, see what Welltory does with this data its incredible

Once this is available correlations with weight would be a great value add.

Personally, I have seen Systolic & Diastolic go down along with weight loss.

I’d like to add Amy vote to this as well as someone that suffers from Hypertension. What would this would/should/could also allow is easy tracking of how often your BP is measured. I currently track this manually. Having it tracked automatically would also act as a reminder that I need to measure my BP (which I often forget to do).

Will Omrom be covered as well?

If it syncs this data to Apple Health then this suggestion will cover it. I can’t speak to Omrom specifically but you should be able to tell if it syncs or not if you already have an Omrom device.

Series 7 and 10 upper arm models.

Cheers!

I’m with Alice, HRV would be really cool to have alongside BP.

If at all possible, adding Resting Heart Rate and Walking Heart Rate Average would be cool. They’re shown in the Apple Health app, so presumably available for integration.

Yes, this would be great!

I just signed up today, excited by the promise of tying together my data from Fitbit, Withings, MyFitnessPal, and others. I was disappointed to see that blood pressure data from Withings is not imported. I’d like to add a “me too” for wanting to see this added, with Withings as a source.

BP and HRV. Important for training

Kind curious that How did you guts take the BP? Any easy device or way?

I’ve just started using Exist and was surprised that blood pressure wasn’t already supported. I very much want to use Exist to help manage my hypertension and find correlations with various aspects of behavior and other data. I’ve already been logging blood pressure data into Health Kit so I’m waiting eagerly for Exist to flip the switch.

Also, for what it’s worth, I’m using an Omron Intellisense cuff and associates app to automatically log and sync data to Health Kit.

I am using the Withings BP device linked to Apple Health. I think it would be really useful to have the BP readings in Exist. There are two values which need to be read together (systolic and diastolic) to give the main info. I take BP tablets so it is also useful to know what time of day the readings were taken. I typically take readings in the morning and then again in the evening, roughly the same time. I’m interested in the effect of alcohol, diet and exercise on my BP. I know there is scientific evidence that backs this up - but as everyone is unique I would like to be able to see how I personally react to changes in habits - I think Exist could be the best solution to this other than manually tracking everything in spreadsheets. As an aside, I started doing this but quickly decided it was way too much work and looked to see if anything already existed (pun not intended) that tracked lots of attributes - and found Exist. All I need now if for BP to be added…

In exactly the same boat! Would be super happy with either a Withings / Apple Health BP integration :)

I’ve recently started taking my blood pressure regularly and logging it in Apple Health. This would be an amazing feature!

Yup. would be great. +1 for Withings Int.

Keep up the great work!!! This entire project is really great!!

Putting in a plug for google fit as another possible place to pull BP from! (for us non apple users)

tracking BP has recently become more important for me (welcome to what I hope is “early middle age”). I know there are many other priorities, but BP tracking would be awesome.
