# Apple Health User Guide

\#What is Apple Health?
Apple Health is an iOS application introduced by Apple in iOS 8. It acts as a central health dashboard for iPhone users allowing them to view health data from numerous health apps in one place. More info on Apple Health can be found [here](http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/health/).

**Apple Watch** data is also accessible via the connection to Apple Health.

\#Step 1: Select Your Source
To connect Apple Health or Apple Watch, you'll need to select either entry in the source selection dialog:

        "https://files.readme.io/jqAZU1FWSoCsw7Qqfrzv_Kannect-wellnessSources.png",

        "566",
        "753",
        "#12314f",
        ""
      ],
      "caption": "Connect"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

\#Step 2: Create An Account

After selecting either of these, you will be shown the Human API Sign-Up page below that will allow you to create Human API credentials for use during the second step of the process.

        "#b56058",
        ""
      ]
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

\#Step 3: Download the Human API iOS App
After creating Human API credentials, you will be directed to download the [Human API iOS app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/human-api/id997774112?mt=8) from the App Store.

Once downloaded, there are three steps you must take before data is available:

1. **Sign in** with the Human API credentials you created in Step 2 above
2. **Grant the Human API app access** to each type of data stored in Apple Health as desired
   (this is the data that you authorize to be shared)
3. **Let the app synchronize** Apple Health data with the Human API server

}

\#Step 4: Syncing Your Data

Whenever you would like to share new data, simply open the app and it will perform a sync. you can verify that the data has been sent via the "Events" tab.

That's it!

{
  "type": "warning",
  "title": "Data Sync",
  "body": "Data will only sync when the app is opened, it cannot sync on it's own."
}
