The in-app health snapshot
Once a client connects a wearable, their latest numbers also show up on the home screen of your app — recovery, sleep, activity and body metrics at a glance, WHOOP first and Apple/Health Connect as a fallback.
Basic Connecting a wearable doesn’t just feed the dashboard you review — it also gives your client a quick read on their own numbers. Once any source is connected, a Health Snapshot appears on the home screen of your app, above their habits: a few small cards with their most recent recovery, sleep, activity and body metrics. It’s a light, motivating “here’s where I’m at today” — and a nudge to keep their wearable synced.
This is a client-facing surface (it shows on their home screen, in your branded app). You don’t manage it; it simply reflects whatever they’ve connected.
The cards
Up to four cards, each showing the latest value with a small trend sparkline:
| Card | Shows |
|---|---|
| Activity | Steps, active energy |
| Recovery | HRV, resting heart rate |
| Sleep | Duration, efficiency, deep sleep |
| Body | Weight, body fat, VO₂ max |
WHOOP first, phone as a fallback
Each card uses the most reliable source available, per metric: a WHOOP reading is preferred, and Apple Health / Health Connect fill in anything WHOOP doesn’t provide (steps and active energy, for instance, always come from the phone). It’s the same source ranking you see on the dashboard — the client just gets the tidy result, one number per metric.
Cards appear only when there’s data
A card is shown only if at least one connected source has data for it — so a WHOOP-only client who doesn’t wear a step tracker won’t see an empty Activity card, and the Body card stays hidden until there’s a weight or body-fat reading. If nothing is connected yet, the snapshot is replaced by a “Connect your health data” prompt that takes the client to the Health Data screen.
Tapping a card opens the client’s Health Data screen, where they can connect more sources or tap Sync now.
When it fills in
Device data (Apple Health / Health Connect) is as fresh as the client’s last app open; WHOOP data flows on its own. When a client connects WHOOP, their recent recovery and sleep are pulled in right away, so the snapshot has something to show from the first connection — no waiting for the next sync.
