Important Warnings
Apple Health Data Source
Apple Health data syncs from YOUR iPhone only. When myCARI imports health data from Apple Health, it reads from the iPhone where the app is installed:

- Each person needs myCARI installed on their own iPhone to sync their health data
Cross-Device Warning
If you sign into myCARI on a different device that belongs to someone else:
- Apple Health data on that device belongs to the device owner, NOT you
- Steps, heart rate, workouts will be from the device owner's Apple Health
- Your medications, appointments, and manually-entered data WILL sync correctly
Medical Records Re-Authentication
If you sign into myCARI on a new device, you will need to re-authenticate with Epic MyChart to access your medical records. This is a security feature. Your medical records are NOT lost - simply go to Health → Medical Records → Reconnect.
