HealthKit Sync and Biometrics

Genis seamlessly integrates with Apple Health to gain a deeper understanding of your physical wellbeing, which is closely tied to your emotional state.

What Genis Reads

With your permission, Genis securely accesses the following Apple Health metrics to provide more accurate counseling and timely interventions:

  • Heart Rate & Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Used as leading indicators for stress responses.
  • Sleep Data: Crucial context for the Smart Counselor when diagnosing burnout or short tempers.
  • Mindfulness Minutes: Logs the time you spend in Wellness Exercises so you get credit in Apple Health.

How Your Data is Protected

Your biometric data never leaves your device or goes into a centralized database in a way that breaks your privacy. It is queried locally and used strictly to offer you better, proactive support.
