Write heart rate to Apple Health

[BryanC]

We all know that Strava can write to Apple Health, but you only write a limited data set. 

I would like you to extend that data set to include heart rate.  That way I can see heart rate analysis from the ride within Strava and see my overall heart rate across the whole day in Apple Health.  

Strava and Apple Health will then be even more complementary to each other. 

Thanks 

Bryan

@BryanC you did not mean me? I do not have any status update since I would like this as well to get resolved.

Someone please correct me if this doesn't work for others, but at least for me, Strava is writing HR data to Apple Health and Fitness.

It isn't writing a bunch of other data that it should like:

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

But it's definitely writing heart rate for me.

On your phone, I'd check the following is set:

Go to Settings, then Health, then Data Access & Devices, scroll down and click on Strava, then make sure it has write permissions for Heart Rate.

That looks like the data from an Apple Watch rather than the high resolution data you get from something like a Garmin heart strap.  
I’ve seen this before and done the comparisons, I don’t think that Strava and Workout match.

That’s likely from data processing on the Apple side then. The heart rate data from my Garmin HRM shows up the same way directly from Connect into HealthKit.
