Is it possible to get access to installed apps shared data in android?

Health Mobile applications have rich data of their user physical condition and normally store it in their cloud databases. I wonder if there is an app which got data from their users in a local database and shares it with other apps that are installed in user phone(Something like Android Interface Definition Language for example)?

using other health tracker apps data

Step #0: Hire qualified legal counsel and discuss your plans regarding taking health information from other apps. Please note that this subject area (personal health data) usually has a lot of regulation around it, and you may be subject to civil or criminal penalties if you are not careful.

Step #1: Come up with a list of "other health tracker apps".

Step #2: Contact the developers of those apps and see if they have any sort of API for allowing third parties access to those apps' data. Due to the aforementioned legal issues, I expect that few will say yes, but there may be a few who do.

Step #3: Create your app, using those health apps' APIs. The details for doing that would depend upon those specific apps and their specific APIs.
