How Preslie Connects to Your Health Data
Preslie does not connect directly to your wearable device.
Instead, it accesses information through your phone’s health platform:
- iOS: Apple Health
- Android: Health Connect
Data Flow
Wearable → Wearable App → Apple Health / Health Connect → Preslie
Preslie only accesses information that you explicitly choose to share.
Why Connect a Wearable?
Connecting a wearable can provide additional information that helps identify patterns over time.
Depending on your device, this may include:
- Sleep
- Activity
- Recovery
- Heart rate
- Movement patterns
This additional information can help support reflection, coaching conversations, and personal awareness.
A wearable is optional.
Preslie can still be used without one.
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 helps identify patterns based on your data.
You remain in control:
- Permissions are category-specific
- You can change or remove access at any time

FAQ: Connecting Your Wearable to Preslie
Do I need a wearable to use Preslie?
No.
A wearable is optional.
Many users begin with only their phone and still gain value from the platform.
Why doesn’t Preslie connect directly to my wearable?

This provides a consistent, secure way to manage permissions and share information.
What information does Preslie use?
Depending on your device and permissions, Preslie may access information such as:
- Sleep
- Activity
- Movement
- Heart rate
- Recovery indicators
Available information varies between devices.
Is my information private?
Yes.
You control what information is shared and can change permissions at any time.
What if I don’t want to share everything?
That’s completely fine.
You choose which categories to share.
Preslie only accesses the information you approve.
Why is my information not appearing immediately?
Initial syncing may take some time, depending on your device and health platform.
This is normal.
Can I remove permissions later?
Yes.
Permissions can be updated or removed through Apple Health or Health Connect at any time.
What if my wearable doesn’t provide all the information listed?
This is expected.
Different devices provide different types of information.
Preslie works with whatever information is available.
Will connecting a wearable improve my experience?
A wearable may provide additional context and help identify patterns more easily.
However, meaningful progress still comes from awareness, reflection, coaching conversations, and consistent action.
What should I do if my wearable is not syncing?
First, confirm that the information appears inside Apple Health or Health Connect.
If it does not appear there, the issue is usually with the wearable or its companion app.
If it appears there but not in Preslie, review your permissions and connection settings.
