Sharing Your Health with Family (Following)

Sunu's Following feature lets you share your health data with family members and trusted people in your life — and see theirs in return. It's designed for spouses, parents, adult children, and caregivers who want to stay connected without constant check-in calls.

Turning On Health Sharing

Before anyone can follow you, you need to enable sharing of your own health data.

Step 1: Navigate to the Profile tab

Step 2: Tap Health Data Sharing

Step 3: Toggle Share my health data on

Your health data will now sync securely to Sunu Cloud so that people you approve can view a summary. Sharing stays off by default — you can toggle it off at any time.

Following Someone

Step 1: Open Profile → Health Data Sharing

Step 2: Tap the Follow Someone button

Step 3: Enter their email address

Step 4: Choose a relationship type (Family, Partner, Caregiver, Friend)

Step 5: Tap Send Request

The person will receive an in-app request. Once they accept, you'll see their health summary in the Following section.

Handling Follow Requests

When someone wants to follow you:

Step 1: You'll see an incoming request under Pending Requests

Step 2: Tap Accept to allow them to see your health summary, or Reject to deny

Rejected requests can always be re-sent later if you change your mind.

Viewing a Family Member's Health

Once a follow request is accepted, their health summary appears under Following in the Health Data Sharing screen. Tap any person to see:

• Recent activity and step count
• Sleep summary
• Latest vitals (heart rate, HRV, etc.)
• Overall health scores

You'll only see what they've shared — they control the level of detail.

Removing a Relationship

You can remove someone from your followers or unfollow someone at any time:

Step 1: Go to Profile → Health Data Sharing

Step 2: Find the person under Following or Followers

Step 3: Tap the person, then choose Remove

This immediately revokes access in both directions for that relationship.

Privacy & Control

• You can turn off sharing entirely from the master toggle — this disconnects all relationships at once.
• You always control what's synced. Sunu Cloud stores only what's needed to generate the health summary; raw health data stays on your device by default.
• Relationships are two-sided — the other person has to accept before anyone sees anything.
• You can remove a relationship at any time with no notice to the other party.

👨‍👩‍👧 Caregiver Tip

For aging parents or family members with chronic conditions, Following is designed to be low-effort. Once set up, the summary refreshes automatically — no need for daily check-ins unless you want them.
