Apple Health data sheet
What SlopeReady reads, keeps, and sends.
SlopeReady is an AI ski fitness coach for people who already track workouts. It reads Apple Health, computes readiness and training context on device, then turns that into ski-season conditioning, endurance, recovery, and injury-risk-aware coaching.
Quick summary
Raw health data on device
Raw HealthKit samples stay on your iPhone. SlopeReady stores local plans, summaries, and coach history.
Minimized AI context
Only when you use AI coaching: aggregate scores, workout summaries, goals, and relevant plan context.
No workout tracking
No workout start/stop, no live GPS tracking, no HealthKit writes by default, and no raw GPS coordinates sent to AI.
Why the data matters for ski training
Ski fitness is not only leg strength. A good ski conditioning plan has to balance eccentric quad strength, aerobic base, balance, mobility, sleep debt, recovery, and the training you already did. Apple Health lets SlopeReady see whether you are building capacity or stacking fatigue before the snow arrives.
- Readiness helps decide whether today should be intervals, strength, mobility, Zone 2, or rest.
- Training load helps avoid the classic pre-trip spike: too much, too late, too close to travel.
- Sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate help the coach explain uncertainty instead of pretending every day is green.
- Recent workouts help the plan adapt after rides, runs, hikes, strength sessions, and recovery days.
Apple Health categories SlopeReady may read
Permissions are requested through Apple's Health permission sheet. You can approve or deny categories independently. The exact set may evolve as the app adds coaching features, but SlopeReady's read-only boundary does not change.
- Workout summaries and workout type
- Duration, distance, elevation, energy, and pace aggregates
- Average and maximum heart rate for workouts
- Resting heart rate trends
- Heart rate variability trends
- Sleep duration and sleep debt signals
- Activity and movement aggregates
- Optional profile context you enter in the app
What may be sent to the AI coach
When you ask the coach for help, SlopeReady sends a compact, human-inspectable coaching context. That context is designed for ski-season preparation, endurance, recovery, and injury-prevention questions - not generic chat.
- Readiness score and confidence, when enough data exists.
- Missing-data indicators, so the coach can say when advice is uncertain.
- Recent workout summaries from the last several days.
- Training goal, training phase, ski-season target, and availability if you entered them.
- Plan context, including upcoming sessions and accepted coach changes.
- Specific read-only tool results when a chat question needs them, such as a downsampled heart-rate curve.
What is not sent
- Your Apple ID, name, email address, phone number, photos, files, notes, or iCloud account.
- Raw full-resolution HealthKit sample streams.
- Latitude and longitude coordinates.
- Reproductive health, medications, allergies, lab results, or medical records.
- Analytics events containing health metrics, chat text, injury notes, or workout details.
Built for people preparing for ski season
Generic readiness apps can tell you that you are tired. SlopeReady is narrower: it turns readiness and Apple Health training history into practical ski fitness decisions. The goal is to help you arrive at the mountain with stronger legs, better endurance, more durable knees and hips, and a plan that respects recovery.
