What the contribution actually involves

This is a data contribution task, not an ongoing annotation role. The work is mostly setup on your own iPhone: opening the Health app, confirming that your HealthKit profile is populated across every category that applies to you (activity, heart, sleep, body measurements, and so on), and confirming that your health system's records are actively connected through Apple's Health Records network. You then produce a genuine export from your own Health app and consent to share four demographic attributes — age, gender, approximate region, and activity level. One export per participant, with an optional re-export later to refresh the data.

The hard gates are narrow and worth reading twice before you apply:

  • Your provider must appear on the published list of qualifying institutions — roughly sixty US systems including Kaiser Permanente, Mass General Brigham, Cleveland Clinic, Stanford Health Care, Mount Sinai, Johns Hopkins, and UCSF Health. If your provider is not listed, you do not qualify, and no amount of HealthKit data substitutes.
  • The linked record must include all four clinical categories — immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals — and the Clinical Notes section. Notes are stated as a hard requirement; submissions without them are returned unpaid.
  • The HealthKit side must show continuous history across multiple categories. A steps-only profile, or a single day of data, will not qualify.

What the screen looks for

Because the eligibility rules are mechanical, the screening conversation is mostly verification rather than interviewing. Expect to be asked which institution you are connected to, whether the connection is live in the Health app right now (not merely once established), which clinical categories appear when you open that record, and specifically whether a Clinical Notes section is visible. Vague answers — "I think my hospital is connected" — are the main reason otherwise eligible people get filtered out. Checking each item in the Health app before you answer is the whole preparation.

You should also expect questions about consent and provenance. The dataset is de-identified HIPAA Safe-Harbor–style before analysis: identifiers stripped, dates and locations generalized, notes scrubbed, and your random ID held separately from any link to your identity. Consent can be withdrawn at any time for removal. The screen will want to hear that you understand what you are sharing and that the export is genuinely yours rather than synthetic or borrowed from a demo profile.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous, US-based providers only by definition of the institution list. Realistic time commitment is under an hour if your record is already connected, longer if you need to link a provider and wait for records to populate. Pay is $60 one-time as observed on the platform, not a recurring rate, and is contingent on the submission passing the clinical-notes and completeness checks.
