I have a few feasibility questions regarding health data processing on iOS, related to HealthKit and system capabilities:
Background Health Data Collection
Can an iOS app continuously collect and process health data in the background, including:
Collecting health data from the Health app while the device is locked or in sleep mode
Triggering user notifications when anomalies are detected in health data processing
Are there any technical limitations? Do these capabilities require specific enterprise qualifications or additional fees?
2. Emergency Contacts Integration
Can an app write or modify the system’s built-in Emergency Contacts (Medical ID)?
If a user updates Emergency Contacts in iOS Settings, can the app receive a change notification or access the updated data?
3. Automated Alerting for Health Metrics
Beyond Apple’s fall detection, can abnormal health metrics (heart rate, irregular rhythm, blood oxygen, etc.) trigger automated alerts such as SMS to preset emergency contacts—without requiring the user to manually open the app or only receive on-device notifications?
This is a feasibility inquiry about API and system behavior, not a bug report. Any official guidance or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
