Can your health app use Polar data? Yes, through ROOK

Yes. ROOK added Polar as a data source, so health apps connected to ROOK can use data from Polar smartwatches and heart rate monitors. Polar is popular among runners and triathletes, which gives apps access to a specialized segment of the fitness market and closes a compatibility gap for their users.

Polar matters because its devices are popular among runners and triathletes, who value them for precision and durability. Polar devices also record a wide range of training and heart rate data that apps can use.

Through ROOK, data from Polar devices is standardized so client health apps can turn it into health insights for their users. Adding Polar to ROOK’s compatibility lineup gives apps access to a specialized segment of the fitness industry and closes compatibility gaps for users who already own Polar devices.

ROOK’s mission is to help health and fitness technology companies inspire their users to reach higher levels of wellness, and the first step is giving them access to a wide range of compatible wearables. Today ROOK supports 72 data sources and more than 500 devices; see how to integrate data from multiple wearables into one system, or check the current list in the ROOK documentation.
