Apple HealthKit is a framework that enables developers to integrate health and fitness data into their apps and services, working closely with the Apple Health app. It provides a centralized repository for health and fitness data on iPhone and Apple Watch, allowing apps to contribute to a user's health database. HealthKit supports the export of health data from different providers, potentially in JSON format, through its APIs. Developers can use these APIs to access, share, and manage data with user consent, ensuring privacy and security in health-related app development and data handling. For a detailed understanding and step-by-step instructions on implementing these functionalities, refer to the Apple Developer Documentation on HealthKit.
