Export in XML: Share your data in Health on iPhone - Apple Support


In short, open the Health app, tap on your user icon in the upper right, and scroll down and select Export All Health Data.


You’ll get an XML file or two, zipped together IIRC. One with data, one with the related data structure definitions.


There are apps to convert XML format data to other data formats, and there are apps in the app store that can export Health data in other formats, if the XML export doesn’t meet your particular needs.


To print this, you’ll need to load into an app that can process XML. Or print the XML itself. The printed XML format won’t be great, because it’s not intended for printing; it’s a database dump. An available app (I haven’t checked) might get you a prettier printed data dump.


There are also numerous generic discussions of formatting or accessing or converting XML files and contents around the ‘net, and available tools for same. XML is very commonly used for exporting and importing data. Here’s an example of using Python to process Health data.
