Now it’s easier than ever to organise and access your important health information. The Health app consolidates data from your iPhone, Apple Watch and third-party apps you already use, so you can view all your progress in one convenient place. See your long-term trends, or dive into the daily details for a wide range of health metrics.
The Health app uses machine learning to determine the things that matter most to you, like exercise minutes or vitals. Highlights then puts that information front and centre. And with interactive charts, you can quickly view your health trends over time and dive in for a deeper look. See how your cholesterol or blood pressure has changed over the years. Even review your exercise activity for a day, week or month.
Sleep is critical. And the Health App gives you all the tools you need to prioritise it. On your iPhone, you can manage your sleep schedule, create a pre-bedtime routine and see how consistently you’re meeting your sleep goals.
Your body is a complex system. The Health app makes tracking it simple. You can store a vast array of health data and sort through it with ease. Using the updated Search and Browse tabs, blood glucose, weight, heart rate, things like hearing health and information about your period are all right there. And now you can log and track various symptoms over time and learn more about them.
With the accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS, both Apple Watch and iPhone can track things like workouts, steps and all-day activity. And now mobility goes even further by combining that data with scientifically validated algorithms. A quick glance reveals more metrics, like walking speed and walking asymmetry, that can give you a better overall view of your health.
The Health app can incorporate data from thousands of third-party apps that are designed to promote healthier habits — everything from nutrition to meditation to fitness. You’ll even find app recommendations for health categories that interest you. Data collected from apps is stored alongside data from your Apple Watch and information you’ve logged directly on your iPhone.

The Health app lets you keep all your health and fitness information under your control and in one place on your device. You decide which information is placed in Health and which apps can access your data through the Health app. When your phone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID or Face ID, all your health and fitness data in the Health app — other than your Medical ID — is encrypted. Your health data stays up to date across all your devices automatically using iCloud, where it is encrypted while in transit and at rest. Apps that access HealthKit are required to have a privacy policy, so make sure you review these policies before providing apps with access to your health and fitness data.
