Apple Health Data Contributor (US Only Remote)
Listing checked September 17, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor is assembling a de-identified health dataset from real Apple Health exports, and the project is open to US iPhone users. Your contribution pairs HealthKit data such as activity, heart, and sleep with clinical records like immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals from a linked provider. You connect that record through Apple Health Records and keep control over consent. Mercor pays $60 one time for a qualified export, with an optional re-export later to refresh your data. The dataset strips identifiers and uses a random ID, so your identity stays separate from the health information.
What You'll Do7
- 1Fill in every HealthKit category that applies to you. Profiles with steps alone do not pass review.
- 2Connect a patient record from a qualifying institution through Apple Health Records.
- 3Add immunizations, lab results, medications, vitals, and the Clinical Notes section to that linked record.
- 4Consent to share age, gender, approximate region, and activity level. You must approve all four attributes.
- 5Confirm your export is a genuine file from your own Health app, not a demo or synthetic sample.
- 6Check that your history runs as a continuous record instead of a single day of readings.
- 7Submit one export. You may re-export later if you want to refresh your data.
Requirements8
- 1You live in the US and use an iPhone with the Health app.
- 2You received care at one of the qualifying institutions listed here, and you linked that institution's records to HealthKit: Emory Healthcare, Scripps Health, Northwestern Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Health System, Penn Medicine, NYU Langone Health, Geisinger Health System, Dartmouth Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine, UCSF Health, Cleveland Clinic, Jefferson Health, VCU Health, University of Chicago Medicine, Doctors Center Hospital Orlando Health, Mass General Brigham, Norton Healthcare, Mount Sinai Health System, Henry Ford Health System, Yale New Haven Health, Intermountain Healthcare, Tampa General Hospital, The University of Kansas Health System, University of Utah Health, Michigan Medicine, UC Irvine Health, Nebraska Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, UC San Diego Health, Musculoskeletal Institute Of LA, UVA Health System, University of Iowa Health Care, Memorial Hermann Health System, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Sentara Healthcare, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Stanford Medicine Obstetrics & Reproductive Endocrinology, Inova Health System, Ochsner Health, UC Davis Health, Scripps Ranch Medical Clinic, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Buffalo Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine PLLC, The George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, Houston Methodist, Stanford Health Care, Baylor Scott & White Health, UnityPoint Health, Sutter Health, Aurora Health Care, RWJBarnabas Health, Trinity Health IHA Medical Group, Valley Health System, CHI St. Joseph Health, M Health Fairview, Hattiesburg Clinic, The Christ Hospital Health Network, Bon Secours Health System, Kaiser Permanente, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare.
- 3Your HealthKit profile covers all applicable categories, not only steps, and shows a continuous history.
- 4Your linked EHR includes immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals.
- 5Your health record includes the Clinical Notes section. Mercor returns submissions without notes and does not pay for them.
- 6You consent to share age, gender, approximate region, and activity level.
- 7Your export comes from your own Health app, not from a demo or synthetic source.
- 8You can complete one submission now, with an optional re-export later.
Who Should Apply
The ideal contributor is a US iPhone owner who has visited one of the qualifying health systems and already linked that institution's records to HealthKit. That person keeps a full Health app history, can connect an EHR with immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals, and has the Clinical Notes section present. Android users, people whose provider is not on the list, and anyone with a steps-only profile should skip this project. Mercor rejects candidates most often for missing clinical notes or for a partial history that covers only one day. A missing demographic consent also stops review because you must approve all four attributes before Mercor accepts an export.
Salary Insight
Mercor lists a one-time $60 payment for a qualified export. The amount is fixed, so a longer history does not raise the payout. Payment depends on a complete submission that passes review, including the clinical notes requirement.

Application Tip
Before you submit, open the Health app and confirm the linked institution's record shows Clinical Notes along with immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals. A missing notes section is the fastest way to get rejected, and a steps-only profile will not pass either. Add every category that applies and check that your export covers a continuous history, not a single day.

Mercor
VerifiedApple Health Research Contributor (US Remote)
Mercor builds a de-identified health dataset that combines Apple HealthKit signals, such as activity, heart, and sleep, with clinical records from linked providers. Accepted contributors connect EHR data from a qualifying health system, including immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals. The role also requires the Clinical Notes section in your health record and consent to share age, gender, approximate region, and activity level. Each approved export earns a one-time $60 payment. Participants can remove consent at any time and request deletion from the dataset.
Mercor
VerifiedHealth Data Contributor - Apple Health Remote
Mercor seeks people who already use Apple Health and have a provider record connected through HealthKit. Your export combines activity, heart, sleep, and other on-device metrics with clinical details such as immunizations, labs, medications, vitals, and notes. The project builds a de-identified health dataset, and Mercor strips identifiers before any analysis. You share age, gender, approximate region, and activity level, then submit one export. You need a linked EHR from a qualifying institution.
Mercor
VerifiedApple Watch Health Data Contributor
Apple Watch owners can join a health data project that turns real device activity and provider records into a de-identified dataset. You export your own Apple Health history, link an EHR from a qualifying hospital or clinic through Apple's Health Records feature, and consent to share age, gender, region, and activity level. The dataset pairs HealthKit signals such as steps, heart, and sleep with clinical details like immunizations, labs, medications, and vitals. Contributions count when the record includes clinical notes and comes from an institution on Mercor's approved list. You keep control: identifiers are stripped and you can withdraw consent at any time.

VerifiedMedical Expert - Remote AI Evaluation & Review
Mercor recruits health professionals who can supply the medical judgment that top AI research teams cannot generate on their own. The medicine pool is an open call, not a single opening, so it remains live while projects start on short notice. When a project launches, you may write a case from your practice with the presentation, workup, constraints, and reference answer that sets the standard for grading a model's attempt. You may also review model output for clinical reasoning, checking whether the differential follows a sensible order, whether a guideline applies to the patient, and whether the care plan is safe to carry out. Mercor sets rates per project, and most work is remote and part-time.
Mercor
VerifiedGeneral Physician
Mercor pairs experienced physicians with a leading AI lab to check how well health AI models handle diagnosis, clinical reasoning, and care workflows. You will review model outputs, score how each answer aligns with accepted medical practice, and write feedback that helps researchers see where a model fails. The work is part-time at 20 or more hours each week and runs for six weeks, with an immediate start. Candidates need an MD or DO, an active unrestricted US license, completed residency, and a current patient-facing practice.

VerifiedMedical Expert (M.D./D.O.) - Remote Part-Time
Mercor keeps this listing open for physicians who want to shape how frontier AI models handle clinical reasoning. The work fits around your practice: you might write a clinical vignette from a real case, complete with presentation, labs, and imaging, then supply the attending-level answer used as a reference. Other projects ask you to grade model output on diagnostic reasoning, checking whether a differential follows a sensible order, whether the model anchors on a first impression, and whether the proposed workup matches guidelines. You also flag recommendations that read well in a textbook but fail the patient in front of you because of comorbidities, contraindications, or access limits. Projects start on short notice, so Mercor draws from this pool when client demand matches your specialty.
