Hi all,
Can I read out my spirometry peak flow result to my iPhone and have it keep a log in the Health app? Which I can later graph (or export).
Thank you,

Siri is not authorised to write to Apple Health database, as far as I know.
You can add the data manually Health > Browse > Respiratory > Peak …
Hi TWC72,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.
You'd be able to add data if the app you are using is compatible. This article will explain further: Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch.
"Add information from other apps
. You might also need to open the app and adjust its settings to allow it to share data with Health. "
For a deeper dive into this, we'd advise contacting the Health app experts at Apple Support.
Have a fantastic day!
Thank you.
I ended up finding a Shortcut that someone had written, and this lets me use Siri to prompt me for the value.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your reply.
I can see Peak Expiratory Flow Rate within the Apple Health App, so can't I tell Siri to add entries there? Why do I need an external app for this?
By the way, there are no Apps suggested within that category, in the Health App.
Thanking you,
Tony

The only problem is that the data field isn't highlighted when the shortcut runs, so I need to tap there first, and then enter the value using the keyboard.
Do you happen to know whether a shortcut can accept input from speech / siri, so I don't need to type at all?
Please share so others may find the solution in future.
