# com.apple.developer.healthkit.research

A Boolean value that indicates whether an approved health research app offers only Full Access when it requests HealthKit read access.

## Discussion

Discussion In iOS 27 and later, HealthKit allows people to choose between two options when they share data with an app: Past 30 Days and Future Data and All Recorded Data and Future Data. Apps with this entitlement offer only Full Access for people to approve or deny, without the Past 30 Days and Future Data option. HealthKit periodically reminds people that an app can read their health data, but reminds them about apps with this entitlement less often. Use this entitlement if your app is a health research app that needs uninterrupted access to HealthKit data. For example, apps that collect data from infrequent health events can’t tolerate a gap in access. Apple grants this entitlement individually to qualifying apps. To request permission to use it, see HealthKit Research Entitlement Request.
