Health Data Contributor (iPhone) at Mercor
posted 1 month agoHealth Data Contributor | $60/hr | Remote (US Only)
Mercor is building a real-world, de-identified health dataset using Apple Health exports. Qualified participants will share their HealthKit data — including activity, heart rate, and sleep — alongside linked clinical records from a qualifying healthcare institution. This is a one-time contribution with an optional follow-up re-export.
Who Qualifies
You must be a US-based iPhone user who has visited at least one qualifying institution and has that institution's health records actively connected to Apple HealthKit. Qualifying institutions include:
- Johns Hopkins Medicine
- Mayo Clinic
- Cleveland Clinic
- Kaiser Permanente
- Stanford Health Care
- UCSF Health
- Mass General Brigham
- NYU Langone Health
- Cedars-Sinai Health System
- Vanderbilt University Medical Center
- Yale New Haven Health
- Penn Medicine
- And many more — see full list in the application
What You'll Do
- Fully populate your Apple HealthKit profile across all applicable categories (steps-only profiles do not qualify)
- Link your Electronic Health Record (EHR) from a qualifying institution via Apple's Health Records network — must include immunizations, lab results, medications, vitals, and clinical notes
- Consent to share four demographic attributes: age, gender, approximate region, and activity level
Submission Requirements
- Must be a genuine export from your own Health app (not synthetic or demo data)
- Must include records from at least one qualifying institution connected to Apple HealthKit
- Must show a complete profile with continuous history — not a single day of data
- Must include a linked EHR with all four required clinical categories
- Clinical Notes are mandatory — submissions without clinical notes will not be accepted or compensated
- All four demographic attributes must be consented — no consent, no submission
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 is never linked to the data. You may withdraw consent at any time to be fully removed.
Commitment
This is a one-time contribution per participant, with an optional re-export available later to refresh your data.
