How Preslie Connects to Your Health Data
Preslie does not connect directly to your wearable.
Instead, it reads data from your phone’s health platform:
- iOS: Apple Health
- Android: Health Connect
Data Flow
Wearable → Wearable App → Apple Health / Health Connect → Preslie
Preslie only accesses data you explicitly allow and uses it to generate Coaching Insights and Health Trends that support reflection and behaviour change.
Why This Matters
Connecting your wearable allows Preslie to:
- track key health trends such as sleep, readiness, activity, and wellbeing
- identify patterns that influence your resilience capacity
- generate more accurate Coaching Insights
- support your coach with better visibility between sessions
Wearables are optional, but they improve the depth and accuracy of insights.
iOS — Connect via Apple Health
Step 1 — Connect Your Wearable to Apple Health
Example: Oura
- Open the Oura app
- Go to Menu → Settings → Connected Apps → Data Sharing → Apple Health
- Enable:
- Connect to Health
- Import data from Health
- On your iPhone, open:
Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Oura - Enable the data categories you want to share
These steps are similar for Garmin, Fitbit (via third-party sync), Polar, and other wearables.
Step 2 — Allow Apple Health to Share Data with Preslie
- Open Apple Health
- Go to Profile → Apps → Preslie
- Enable the data categories you want to share
This makes your wearable data available to Preslie.
Step 3 — Connect Preslie to Apple Health
During app setup:
- Review the data categories shown
- Tap Allow for the data you want to share
This enables Preslie to generate Health Trends and Coaching Insights based on your data.
You remain in control:
- Permissions are category-specific
- You can change or remove access at any time
- You can skip this step and connect later
Step 4 — Manage Permissions Anytime
Go to:
Apple Health → Data Access & Devices → Apps → Preslie
From there you can:
- toggle data categories on or off
- remove access entirely
Android — Connect via Health Connect
Step 1 — Connect Your Wearable to Health Connect
Example: Oura
- Open the Oura app
- Go to Settings → Data Sharing → Health Connect
- Install Health Connect if prompted
- Enable data sharing
Steps are similar for Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung Health, Polar, and others.
Step 2 — Allow Health Connect to Share Data with Preslie
- Open Health Connect
- Go to App Permissions → Preslie
- Enable categories such as:
- Steps
- Sleep
- Activity
- Heart rate (if available)
Keep Preslie open for 1–2 minutes to allow the first sync.
Step 3 — Connect Preslie to Health Connect
During setup:
- Review the data categories
- Tap Allow
This enables Preslie to generate Health Trends and Coaching Insights.
You can:
- adjust permissions anytime
- skip and connect later
Step 4 — Manage Permissions Anytime
Go to:
Health Connect → App Permissions → Preslie
From there you can:
- toggle data categories
- revoke access
Supported Health Data Types
Preslie interprets a range of health and behavioural signals to generate Health Trends and Coaching Insights.
Activity & Movement
Steps, activity minutes, distance, movement patterns
These indicate how your daily movement supports or drains your energy and performance.
Sleep & Recovery
Sleep duration, sleep quality, recovery trends
These form the foundation of resilience capacity and cognitive performance.
Cardiovascular & Energy Signals
Heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, energy expenditure
These reflect how your body is responding to stress, effort, and recovery.
Readiness & Performance Indicators
Readiness scores, recovery indicators, strain/load metrics (device-dependent)
These provide a high-level view of your capacity to perform on a given day.
Behavioural Patterns Over Time
Routine consistency, activity timing, sleep patterns
These reveal trends that influence long-term resilience and performance.

FAQ: Connecting Your Wearable to Preslie
Do I need a wearable to use Preslie?
No. Wearables are optional. You can still use Preslie with habits and KPIs only. Wearables improve the depth and accuracy of insights but are not required.
Why doesn’t Preslie connect directly to my wearable?
Preslie connects through Apple Health (iOS) and Health Connect (Android) to ensure standardised, secure data access. This allows you to control exactly what data is shared.
What data does Preslie actually use?
Preslie uses selected health and behavioural data such as sleep, activity, heart rate, and recovery signals to identify patterns and support Coaching Insights. It focuses on trends over time, not isolated data points.
Is my health data safe and private?
Yes. You control what data is shared. Permissions are category-specific and can be changed or removed at any time. Preslie does not use your data for diagnosis or resale.
What if I don’t want to share certain data?
You can choose exactly which categories to share. Preslie will only access the data you allow and will still function with limited inputs.
Why is my data not appearing immediately after connecting?
Data syncing can take a few minutes to a few hours depending on your wearable and phone. This delay is normal.
Can I change or remove permissions later?
Yes. You can update or revoke permissions at any time through Apple Health or Health Connect.
What if my wearable doesn’t support all data types?
This is expected. Not all devices provide the same data. Preslie works with available inputs and focuses on patterns rather than completeness.
Will connecting a wearable make coaching more accurate?
Yes. Wearable data adds an objective layer that helps identify patterns in recovery, stress, and performance, improving coaching decisions over time.
What should I do if my wearable isn’t syncing properly?
First confirm that data is visible in Apple Health or Health Connect. If it is not, the issue is with the wearable or its app. If it is visible there but not in Preslie, check permissions and syncing.
