# Health Assistant Link

> Health Assistant Link is a free iOS app that connects Apple Health and Home Assistant. It brings your Apple Health and Apple Watch data into Home Assistant as entities (sensors) so you can use your health and fitness data in dashboards and smart home automations. It is free to use, with an optional paid upgrade that enables automated background syncing. It is private by design — data syncs directly to your own Home Assistant instance with no cloud in between.
