q2-health-index

Hi,
Thank you developing the q2-health-index plugin.
I have an issue with understanding the feature table input - my table comes from dada2 denoising and has the ASV's under the features.
I found this sample table here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaeyunsung/GMHI_2020/master/4347_final_relative_abundances.txt
This one has species level identification under the features - not really possible with 16S data.
When I ran my table through this plugin then I get an error:
Plugin error from health-index: Could not find healthy species in the feature table.

I assume this is because it cannot make sense of the ASV codes.
Is there a way to run the plugin on 16S data? How to easily convert the ASV's to feature info accepted by this plugin?

Thank you in advance!
Rahel
