Can the healthkit data leave the iOS device?

Am creating a health related app. Using healthkit, i can access user health information. But can i extract the lab data and process it on the server side?

Can we send iOS healthkit data through api server and process data on server side?

I found this thread, some responses from Apple's team

"The short answer is no. The nature of health information is very personal, so we want to keep it as private as possible. This is taken from the HealthKit Framework Documentation: "The HealthKit data is only kept locally on the user’s device. For security, the HealthKit store is encrypted when the device is not unlocked. The HealthKit store can only be accessed by an authorized app. You cannot access HealthKit from extensions (like the Today view) or from a WatchKit app." Here's a link to the rest of the documentation, I recommend reading through the HealthKit and Privacy section for some more detail. Hope that Helps!"
