Some Things to Know

The data from Apple Health can only sync and re-sync from an iPhone.

After any syncing or re-syncing is complete, please ensure you can see the data in the Heads Up mobile app prior to visiting the Heads Up web app.

If the data is not present in the mobile app, the data will not show in the web app.

To view a list of all the supported data types from Apple Health, please visit the article: "Which metrics can I sync from Apple Health?"
