PAM Native Health

Every PAM Native product runs on the PAM runtime. Install and verify PAM first, create a Native application, and add this package through PAM Composer:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://github.com/push-in/pam/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
pam doctor
pam init my-app --template native
cd my-app
pam composer require pushinbr/pam-native-health
pam doctor
pam native dev
$health = new Health();
$types = [HealthDataType::Steps, HealthDataType::HeartRate];
$health->requestAuthorization($types, [], function (bool $granted, ?string $error) use ($health): void {
if (!$granted) return;
$health->read(
HealthDataType::Steps,
(time() - 86400) * 1000,
time() * 1000,
fn (array $samples) => renderDailySteps($samples),
);
});

Health checks availability, requests authorization, and reads/writes samples. HealthDataType, HealthSample, and HealthAvailability provide typed cross-platform contracts.

HealthKit intentionally does not reveal denied read access, so needsAuthorization() avoids claiming permission is granted; empty reads may mean no data or no accessible data. Request only current-feature types, explain value before system UI, minimize retention, exclude samples from logs/analytics, and certify physical devices.

Support: PAM Native 0.6.x, Android API 26+ with Health Connect 1.1, iOS 15+.

HealthPluginProvider registers the module through PAM plugin discovery.
