Apple Health Research Contributor (US Remote)
Listing checked September 17, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
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.
What You'll Do6
- 1Fill out your HealthKit profile across each category that applies to you. Steps-only profiles do not meet the dataset standard.
- 2Connect an EHR from at least one qualifying institution through Apple Health Records with immunizations, lab results, medications, vitals, and clinical notes.
- 3Approve sharing of four demographic details: age, gender, approximate region, and activity level.
- 4Submit an export from your own Health app with a continuous history instead of one day of data.
- 5Include the Clinical Notes section in your linked record. Mercor returns any submission that omits this section and does not pay for it.
- 6Complete one export, with an optional later re-export to refresh your contribution.
Requirements7
- 1You must live in the United States and use an Apple Health app with HealthKit.
- 2You have visited at least one institution from Mercor's qualifying list and keep that institution's records connected to Apple HealthKit.
- 3Your HealthKit profile shows data across every category that applies to you, not just steps.
- 4Your linked EHR contains all four clinical categories: immunizations, lab results, medications, and vitals.
- 5Your health record includes the Clinical Notes section. No clinical notes means no acceptance and no payment.
- 6Your export comes from your own Health app with a continuous history, not a synthetic or demo file.
- 7You consent to share age, gender, approximate region, and activity level. No consent means no submission.
Who Should Apply
The right participant lives in the US, uses Apple Health, and already has records from a qualifying institution connected through Apple Health Records. A complete HealthKit profile matters, including activity, heart, sleep, and other categories, along with an EHR that carries immunizations, labs, medications, vitals, and clinical notes. People outside the US, those whose providers are not on the qualifying list, and anyone who tracks only steps will not fit this dataset. Submissions often fail because the Clinical Notes section is missing or because the EHR connection does not include all four clinical categories. Another common reason for rejection is a single-day export instead of a continuous health history.
Salary Insight
The posting pays a one-time $60 for an accepted export. The engagement field says hour-based, but the stated compensation is a flat fee rather than a wage that scales with your time. That structure matches many de-identified health data contributions, where pay arrives as a single payment after review. If Mercor returns your submission for missing clinical notes or incomplete records, you receive no payment.

Application Tip
Before you export, open Apple Health, go to Health Records, and confirm your linked institution shows immunizations, lab results, medications, vitals, and the Clinical Notes section. Missing clinical notes is the most common disqualifier, so check that section first and verify your provider appears on Mercor's qualifying list.

Mercor
VerifiedApple Health Data Contributor (US Only Remote)
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.
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.
Mercor
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.
