A data sampling point consists of the value of the data type field and the timestamp information. It indicates data obtained instantaneously. Any raw detailed data collected by a data collector (such as a smart band) falls into the atomic sampling detailed data type.

Atomic Sampling Statistical Data Types

A data sampling point consists of the value of the data type field, the timestamp information, and a time range. It indicates data obtained within a time range.

Custom Sampling Data Types

In addition to the preceding atomic sampling detailed and statistical data types, Health Service Kit also supports custom sampling data types.

NOTE

However, a custom sampling data type cannot use the namespace of Health Service Kit, that is, com.huawei. If the package name starts with com.huawei, the custom data type will conflict with the existing data types of Huawei, and therefore can't be created.

A custom data type must start with the app package name.

Creating custom data types

You can create a custom data type, by creating a data collector (see Creating a Data Collector) and specifying the name of the data type and field definitions for it. For example:

      {
        "name": "customizedField1",
        "format": "integer"
      },
     {
        "name": "customizedField2",
        "format": "float"
      }
    ],
    "name": "customized.datatypename"
  },
  ...
}

Exercise Record Data

Detailed data of a workout, like a run or a jump rope session, that lasts for a certain period of time. Consists of workout type, app and device information, start and end times, exercise record characteristics, associated atomic sampling statistical data, and associated atomic sampling detailed data.

For details about exercise record data and each workout type, please refer to Exercise Record Data.

Health Record Data

Data of a health record, like a sleep record (com.huawei.health.record.sleep) or ECG measurement record, that lasts for a certain period of time. Consists of health record type, data collector (app and device information), start and end times, health record characteristics, associated atomic sampling statistical data, and associated atomic sampling detailed data.

For details about health record data and each type of health record, please refer to health record data.

Data Openness of Wearables and Huawei Health

You can use the open capabilities of Health Service Kit to obtain health and fitness data generated by Huawei smart wearables and the Huawei Health app.

For Android integration, please refer to Data Openness of Wearables and Huawei Health.

Restrictions:

The user must authorize Health Service Kit to access data in the Huawei Health app. For details, please refer to Open Authorization in Huawei Health.

Open Atomic Sampling Data Types

The table below lists the types of atomic sampling data that your app can obtain – using SampleSet – from the Huawei Health app. Such data is uploaded by wearables to the Huawei Health app.

Open Exercise Record Data Types

You can obtain exercise record data using ActivityRecord from smart wearables or the Huawei Health app. For details, please refer to Exercise Record Data.

Open Health Record Data Types

You can obtain health measurement record data using HealthRecord from smart wearables or the Huawei Health app. For details, please refer to health record data.

Data Query Timeliness

Due to reasons such as power consumption, the data in the Huawei Health app cannot be uploaded to the cloud in real time. For details, please refer to the data query timeliness of each data type.

NOTE

The delay of real-time data openness may vary depending on whether the screen is kept on and whether the app is allowed to run in the background. (For non-Huawei phones, users need to manually set whether to allow the app to run in the background.)
Users can open the Huawei Health app and manually synchronize data to ensure real-time data openness.
