Hello ESH1966,


This page can help out with having a user share their health data: Share and view health data in the Health app - Apple Support


About Health sharing

You control what data you share, and you can change it or stop sharing at any time. If a friend or family member chooses to share their health data with you, you can also receive notifications when there are changes to their health data.

Here's what you need
•An iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 15 or later is required to share your health data. 
•An iPhone with iOS 16 or later is required to invite someone to share health data.
•An iCloud account with Health turned on and two-factor authentication enabled.
•The person you want to start sharing with must be saved in your Contacts with their iCloud account email included.*
