Apple HealthKit Data Contributor at Mercor
posted 4 months agoApple HealthKit Data Contributor | $60/hr | Worldwide Remote
Join a privacy-first initiative to build a real-world, de-identified health dataset using Apple Health exports. This is a one-time contribution opportunity that combines your on-device HealthKit data with linked clinical records to support meaningful health research.
What You'll Do
- Fully populate your HealthKit profile — contribute data across all applicable categories (activity, heart rate, sleep, and more). Steps-only profiles do not qualify.
- Link your Electronic Health Record (EHR) from at least one institution on Apple's Health Records network, including immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals.
- Consent to share four demographic attributes: age, gender, approximate region, and activity level.
Submission Requirements
- Must be a genuine export from your own Apple Health app — no synthetic or demo data
- Profile must show a complete, continuous history (not a single day of data)
- Must include a linked EHR covering all four required clinical categories
- All four demographic attributes must be consented — submissions without full consent will not be accepted
Your Privacy
Your identity and raw health data never enter the dataset. All exports are de-identified following HIPAA Safe Harbor standards — identifiers are stripped, dates and locations are generalized, and notes are scrubbed. You receive a random ID, and your identity link is stored separately and never travels with the data. You may withdraw consent at any time to be fully removed.
Commitment
This is a one-time export per participant, with an optional re-export available later to refresh your data. Minimal time commitment with meaningful impact on health research.
How to apply for this role
- Upload your resume — keep it up-to-date and in English. Mercor will auto-fill your profile from it.
- Complete the AI interview — a 15-minute conversation about your experience. Be ready to discuss specific projects and challenges you've solved.
- Submit your application — only about 20% of applicants finish all the steps, so completing yours puts you well ahead.
