Hello, I am a physician. I have very little coding experience, but am able to learn. I am interested in potentially using apple watch in a small pilot project. In this project, the watch would be given to patients in a rural facility. I would like to remotely monitor these patients health data (heart rate, HRV, O2 saturation) by designing an apps that imports this data to a pre-existing Electronic Medical Record.

Important note, these patients likely will NOT have an iPhone. Is this concept possible?

Thank you for answering my question

You cannot use an Apple Watch without an iPhone. Family Setup isn't convenient because you will have to add every participant to your own personal family. I am not very experienced, but I think an app that extracts data from their Health app and sends it to your server and maybe there's a possibility to make this happen. If you cannot send data to your servers you can prompt users to send a report to you via Mail or some other way.

I am not 100% sure this is possible but there is room for this. Good luck with your project if you want to make it reality!
