There’s some useful data that Apple Health supports, but that Strava doesn’t upload: 

  • Heart rate
  • Power
  • Cadence
  • GPS route/map

Please can we get these fields added to the Apple Health upload from Strava rides?

Currently, my Strava rides in Apple Health seem to pick up the heart rate from my Apple Watch, which often has huge gaps in the data due to hand/wrist position.

Thanks for your post. We do have these similar ideas suggested on our Ideas Board and you can show your support by clicking on the kudos button and adding feedback:
Write heart rate to Apple Health
Apple Watch - add stats: power, cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact, step length, strokes
If a similar or overlapping idea already exists, it's best to add your vote (kudos) and comments to that existing idea.  This makes sure suggestions are easy to find and that votes for them aren’t divided across duplicate ideas. Don’t forget to show your support by clicking on the kudos button

@Scout this is a different request / Idea than the two posts you link in your reply.

AFAIK the first one you linked is resolved, and the second one linked started with a request to pull data from Apple Watch, not write data to Apple Health / Apple Fitness.  Although some of the comments included write requests, that isn't the core of that idea.

This request is exactly what I would love to see which is writing additional data fields (collected by Strava or imported by Strava from third party connections like Garmin) back to Health Kit. I do not see an existing unique Idea post for this request.

Right now the Strava write to Apple Health only includes heart rate, distance, average speed, and calories.

Data fields that should be written include:

  • Elevation (data stream not avg)
  • Speed (data stream not avg)
  • Cadence (data stream not avg)
  • Power (data stream not avg)
  • GPS track

The 4iiii app (and qz now) can write all of those fields, however, Garmin Connect, Strava, and Echelon have not updated their HealthKit integrations to write this data -- those additional fields have been in production versions of iOS/watchOS on the Apple side for over a year.
