PAM Native Health

Terminal window
pam add health
pam doctor
$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.
