How is heart rate data being captured for Apple Health using Validic's mobile library?

Due to the unique structure of Apple HealthKit heart rate data, only one measurement record with heart rate data will be created in the Validic API per user per day for Apple Health using the Validic Mobile library. This record may contain min_heart_rate, max_heart_rate, avg_heart_rate, and pulse values calculated from all the readings taken throughout that day from any device that writes heart rate data to HealthKit.
