What is Apple Health Integration?
Using Amme with the Apple Health app on iPhone empowers you to better manage your health. Your nursing sessions automatically sync with Apple Health, creating a comprehensive picture of your postpartum health and breastfeeding journey.
Amme uses Apple Health's lactation datapoint to record every nursing session—which breast, duration, and timing. This standardized health data can be shared with your lactation consultant or pediatrician, synced across your devices, and kept secure with the same encryption that protects all your health information.
Why Integrate with Apple Health?
Complete Health Picture
Your nursing data lives alongside your other health metrics like sleep, nutrition, and activity, giving you and your healthcare team a holistic view of your postpartum health and motherhood journey.
Secure & Private
All data synced to Apple Health is encrypted and protected by your iPhone passcode and Face ID. Your breastfeeding information stays under your control, always. No accounts, no cloud servers, just local security.
Cross-Device Sync
Your nursing data automatically syncs across all your Apple devices signed in with the same iCloud account, so you can check your feeding history on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
Share with Healthcare Providers
Export your breastfeeding history from Apple Health to share with your pediatrician, lactation consultant, or doula. Give them the complete picture they need to support you and your baby.
Your Privacy is Protected
When you enable Apple Health integration, your nursing data is encrypted and stored securely on your device. Amme never sends your personal information to external servers. You're in complete control of which apps can access your health data through iPhone's privacy settings.
