Integration with iPhone’s Health App

BEST Connections does not release health-related data collected from Apples iOS Health app by the BEST Suite app. When you select the Health App, your heart rate, step count, and sleep data will be retrieved from Apples Health app and used to correlate that information with information gathered in the BEST Suite app. Data is not written to the Health app nor is it shared other than in a report which you may choose to generate and share with others.
