Data Organization​

ROOK organizes health data into three core pillars:

  1. Physical Health: Includes metrics such as steps, heart rate, and activity duration.
  2. Body Health: Covers vital signs, hydration, and nutrition data.
  3. Sleep Health: Tracks sleep quality, stages, and duration.

Data is further divided into:

  • Summaries: Aggregated daily insights, such as total calories burned or sleep duration.
