What is Apple Health Integration?
Using Pumpe with the Apple Health app on iPhone empowers you to better manage your health. Your pumping sessions and milk expression data automatically sync with Apple Health, creating a comprehensive picture of your postpartum health and lactation journey.
Pumpe uses Apple Health's lactation datapoint to record every pumping session—volume expressed, duration, and timing. This standardized health data can be shared with your lactation consultant or healthcare provider, 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 pumping data lives alongside your other health metrics like sleep, nutrition, and activity, giving you and your healthcare team a holistic view of your milk supply and postpartum recovery.
Secure & Private
All data synced to Apple Health is encrypted and protected by your iPhone passcode and Face ID. Your pumping information stays under your control, always. No accounts, no cloud servers, just local security.
Track Your Supply Over Time
Apple Health stores your complete pumping history, allowing you to track milk supply trends, identify patterns, and monitor your progress as an exclusive pumper over weeks and months.
Empowering Data Insights
See how your pumping output correlates with sleep, hydration, nutrition, and other health metrics tracked in Apple Health. Understand what factors support your milk production.
Your Privacy is Protected
When you enable Apple Health integration, your pumping data is encrypted and stored securely on your device. Pumpe 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.
