Connecting to Apple Health
By accepting health permissions, Hoolan is able to integrate with Apple Watch's health and activity apps.
​
You will be asked to accept health permissions on your watch when you first Set Up Hoolan. Accepting them is optional.
To check what permissions you currently have set up and/ or amend your settings, go to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Hoolan on your phone. Hoolan not listed?
Write Access to Workouts
Accept this if you would like:
-
your sessions to be counted as an Apple workout, which then goes towards your activity rings.
-
to associate your heart rate and active energy burned to your workout.
-
to export your GPS data into Apple Health (see Workout Routes permission below).
-
to use our 'Fast Finish & Save' feature.
-
to set up a 'Fitness Focus' that ensures the Hoolan recording screen displays your live stats without interruptions as you ride.
Write Access to Workout Routes
Accept this if you would like Hoolan to able to export your GPS data to Apple Health while you are recording so that you can then use third party apps like Health Fit to set up an automatic export of your data to other platforms like Strava, for example.
You will need to have also accepted 'Write Access to Workouts' for the export of GPS data to work. Find out more about exporting your data from Hoolan.
​
Read Access to your Active Energy and Heart Rate
Accept these permissions if you'd like Hoolan to display your heart rate and calories burned alongside your session. You will be able to see this data both on your watch screen as you ride, and in your stats after you've finished your session.
​
​
* In the rare circumstance that Hoolan isn't listed under Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices, this means that the permissions screen didn't fire up properly when you Set Up. To trigger the permission screen, follow these steps:
On your watch:
-
Remove Hoolan from the dock on your watch. Access the dock by double pressing the crown - swipe up to find Hoolan and swipe left to remove it.
-
Reopen the Hoolan app and the health permissions screen should now pop up.
