2. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH WHY BRING A FITNESS APP TO APPLE WATCH? ▸ Heart Rate Monitor ▸ Automatically track heart rate during workouts, even in the background ▸ Activity Rings Integration ▸ Third-party apps contribute to users’ daily activity, making your app part of someone’s routine ▸ Independent from the Phone ▸ Works where phones can’t (like in a pool) ▸ Doesn’t need to be carried through a gym
3. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH WHY STORE HEALTH DATA IN HEALTHKIT? ▸ Separates concerns for health data: storing, processing, and using ▸ Automatically share data between your users’ apps ▸ You don’t have to implement your own data security for your users’ health data ▸ …or make sure their data is backed up ▸ Attract new users who are already invested in using HealthKit
4. WITH HEALTH CARE, THERE IS A WIDE-OPEN FIELD TO MAKE SOME REALLY PROFOUND CONTRIBUTIONS… SO THIS IS YET ANOTHER WAY TO BEGIN TO BUILD A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF YOUR LIFE, WHICH SHOULD EMPOWER YOU TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF OVER TIME, AND WHEN YOU NEED HELP, IT EMPOWERS YOU TO TAKE CERTAIN DATA TO YOUR DOCTOR TO GET HELP FROM THEM. ALL WHILE GUARDING YOUR PRIVACY, SO THAT NOBODY’S GETTING THE DATA IF YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO HAVE THE DATA. NOBODY’S SHARING THE DATA IF YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO SHARE THE DATA. AND, NO, WE’RE NOT KEEPING IT. Tim Cook HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH
5. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH WORKING OUT WITH HEALTHKIT ▸ Centered around the HKWorkout and HKWorkoutSession classes ▸ HKWorkoutSession ▸ Beginning one starts the heart rate monitor ▸ Use the delegate to get a callback when monitoring begins ▸ HKWorkout ▸ Created after the workout is complete, saved with samples of all data ▸ Not only heart rates, but also data your app knows (e.g. running distance)
6. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH CREATING AN HKWORKOUTSESSION let session = HKWorkoutSession(activityType: .Running, locationType: .Indoor) session.delegate = self HKHealthStore().startWorkoutSession(session)
7.

8. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH HKWORKOUTSESSIONDELEGATE func workoutSession(workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession, didChangeToState toState: HKWorkoutSessionState, fromState: HKWorkoutSessionState, date: NSDate) { switch toState { case .NotStarted: case .Running: case .Ended: } } func workoutSession(workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession, didFailWithError error: NSError) { print("Workout session error: \(error.localizedDescription)") }
9. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH WHAT HAPPENS DURING A WORKOUT SESSION? ▸ The heart rate sensor activates, continuously getting heart rate data while the session is running ▸ watchOS keeps your app’s workout session running, even if the user returns to the watch face or launches another app ▸ (Optional) The user’s calories burned are automatically calculated and delivered to your app
10. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH READING CALORIE BURN DATA ▸ HealthKit data is represented by discrete samples that we’ll add to our workout ▸ First, we’ll get a quantity type to represent active energy burned ▸ Then, we’ll create a query to ask HealthKit for samples, and we’ll give it an update handler to process new samples as they arrive ▸ Finally, we’ll execute the query on the health store ▸ When the workout session is complete, we’ll add the samples to the workout
11. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH READING CALORIE BURN DATA guard let calorieType = HKObjectType.quantityTypeForIdentifier(HKQuantityTypeIdentifierActiveEnergyBurned) else { return } let datePredicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamplesWithStartDate(startDate, endDate: nil, options: .None) let processCalorieSamplesFromQuery = { (query: HKAnchoredObjectQuery, samples: [HKSample]?, deletedObjects: [HKDeletedObject]?, anchor: HKQueryAnchor?, error: NSError?) -> Void in NSOperationQueue.mainQueue().addOperationWithBlock { [weak self] guard let initialCaloriesBurned = self?.currentCaloriesBurned.doubleValueForUnit(.kilocalorieUnit()) else { return } let newCaloriesBurned = samples.reduce(initialCaloriesBurned) { $0 + $1.quantity.doubleValueForUnit(calorieUnit) } self?.currentCaloriesBurned = HKQuantity(unit: calorieUnit, doubleValue: newCaloriesBurned) self?.calorieSamples += newSamples } } let query = HKAnchoredObjectQuery(type: calorieType, predicate: datePredicate, anchor: nil, limit: Int(HKObjectQueryNoLimit), resultsHandler: processCalorieSamplesFromQuery) query.updateHandler = processCalorieSamplesFromQuery healthStore.executeQuery(query)
12. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH CREATING SAMPLE DATA ▸ For health data that the app can calculate, you can create your own samples and associate them with the workout ▸ HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDistanceWalkingRunning, HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDistanceCycling, and HKQuantityTypeIdentifierFlightsClimbed are obvious candidates ▸ Create an HKQuantitySample and add it to the workout
13. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH CREATING SAMPLE DATA guard let distanceRunType = HKObjectType.quantityTypeForIdentifier(HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDistanceWalkingRunning) else { return } let lapDistanceQuantity = HKQuantity(unit: HKUnit.meterUnit(), doubleValue: lapDistance) var lapStartDate = startDate var samples: [HKSample] = [] for i in lapTimes.startIndex ..< lapTimes.endIndex { let lapTime = lapTimes[i] let lapEndDate = lapStartDate.dateByAddingTimeInterval(lapTime) let sample = HKQuantitySample(type: distanceRunType, quantity: lapDistanceQuantity, startDate: lapStartDate, endDate: lapEndDate, device: HKDevice.localDevice(), metadata: nil) samples.append(sample) lapStartDate = lapEndDate }
14. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH FINISHING A WORKOUT SESSION ▸ When your user is done with her workout, call endWorkoutSession() on the health store with the workout session as a parameter ▸ In the delegate callback, stop any active queries and create an HKWorkout object to contain all of the data ▸ Save the workout object, then if it succeeded, add samples to the saved workout
15. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH SAVING A WORKOUT AND ADDING SAMPLES let distanceRun = HKQuantity(unit: HKUnit.meterUnit(), doubleValue: lapDistance * Double(lapTimes.count)) let workout = HKWorkout(activityType: HKWorkoutActivityType.Running, startDate: startDate, endDate: endDate, duration: endDate.timeIntervalSinceDate(startDate), totalEnergyBurned: currentCaloriesBurned, totalDistance: distanceRun, metadata: nil) healthStore.saveObject(workout) { [weak self] success, error in guard success else { return } guard let calorieSamples = self?.calorieSamples where !calorieSamples.isEmpty else { return } self?.healthStore.addSamples(calorieSamples, toWorkout: workout) { success, error in if let error = error where !success { print("Failed to add calorie samples to the workout:" + error.localizedDescription) } } }
16. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH BASK IN THE GLOW OF A JOB WELL DONE ▸ If you saved active calories burned to your workout, you’ll contribute to the activity rings in the user’s Activity app ▸ On iPhone, when the user looks at their Activity app, your app will appear as a contributor ▸ You should still save your data outside of HealthKit in case the user has it disabled or you need to access it in the future on the watch
17. DEMO
18. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH GETTING DATA OUT OF HEALTHKIT ▸ Not only is workout information stored in HealthKit, but nutrition, sleep, vital health data, and personal measurements ▸ Users can enter data manually inside of the Health app or using third-party apps (e.g. using a food tracker to input nutrition information) ▸ Third-party apps can query HealthKit to get information out ▸ HealthKit may only be read on an unlocked iPhone
19. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH USING HEALTHKIT DATA ON APPLE WATCH ▸ Because the Apple Watch cannot read HealthKit data directly, getting it onto the watch is tricky ▸ Using WatchConnectivity, you can send data from the phone to the watch whenever you have it, then process it on the watch when the user launches the app ▸ On the iPhone, you can execute a background query to receive new data in the background as users enter it ▸ The Health database is locked when the phone is locked, but you can still write new data, which is cached until the database is available
20. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH A STRATEGY FOR HEALTH COMPLICATIONS ▸ On iPhone, use background queries to get new data from other apps ▸ Whenever new data comes in, use WatchConnectivity to sync with the watch ▸ On the watch, send all new data to the phone, but also update locally ▸ Use a local notification if the user needs to launch the iPhone app
21. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH ASKING FOR PERMISSION ▸ Before you can do anything with any Health data, you must have the user’s permission ▸ Set up a Health entitlement on the developer portal and include it in your app ▸ Request authorization from the health store to read/write specific types ▸ The user can enable/disable specific permissions, so look at them individually instead of as a whole ▸ The user may allow you to write calorie burn data, but not to read weight data
22. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH ASKING FOR PERMISSION let shareTypes = Set([HKObjectType.workoutType(), caloriesBurnedType, distanceRunType]) let readTypes = Set([caloriesBurnedType]) healthStore.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes(shareTypes, readTypes: readTypes, completion: { (success: Bool, error: NSError?) in if let error = error where !success { print("Error authorizing HealthKit: " + error.localizedDescription) } else if !success { print("You didn’t authorize HealthKit.") } })
23. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH ASKING FOR PERMISSION ▸ Use the authorizationStatusForType() method on the health store to determine authorization status ▸ If you’re asking for permission on Apple Watch, the user must approve the permissions on their iPhone ▸ For that, use the handleAuthorizationForExtensionWithCompletion() method on the health store
24. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH ASKING FOR PERMISSION func applicationShouldRequestHealthAuthorization(application: UIApplication) { HKHealthStore().handleAuthorizationForExtensionWithCompletion { success, error in if let error = error where !success { print("HealthKit authorization failed. Error: " + error.localizedDescription) } } }
26. HEALTH AND FITNESS APPS FOR APPLE WATCH SUGGESTED READING ▸ HealthKit Framework Reference ▸ iOS Human Interface Guidelines: HealthKit ▸ Apple Watch Human Interface Guidelines: Health and Fitness ▸ App Store Review Guidelines: HealthKit ▸ “Apps using the HealthKit framework must indicate integration with the Health app in their marketing text and must clearly identify the HealthKit functionality in the app’s user interface” ▸ “Apps using the HealthKit framework or conducting human subject research must provide a privacy policy or they will be rejected”
