The app can also be installed on other devices besides Huawei.

Upon selecting the cloud service, the investigator will be asked for authorization. This can be accomplished through one of the following:

  • User’s login and password;
  • Token that was extracted from the device;
  • User’s telephone number and code sent via SMS;
  • QR code.

Proxy at authorization could be used from a corresponding tab.

It is also possible to prompt cloud data extraction from the “Accounts and Passwords” section of an already-analyzed device, provided Huawei Health has been installed and accessed on it. In this case, open the “Accounts and Passwords” section from the device home screen and then click “Extract with Cloud Extractor.” Oxygen Forensic® Cloud Extractor will open with all services, credentials to which have been detected, extracted, and already selected.

If the two-factor-authentication is enabled, investigators will have to pass it by entering a code sent either to a trusted device, an email associated with the account, or via SMS.

As soon as the authorization is complete, the data extraction begins. The following can be extracted from Huawei Health cloud:

  • Information about the account owner
  • List of data sources
  • Information about workouts
  • Medical data, including information about blood pressure, pulse, weight, sleep, temperature, fluid intake, and menstrual cycle
  • Routes

Please note that the exact set of data may differ depending on data present in the cloud.
