Your health data.
In your control.
The Health app was created to help organize your important health information and make it easy to access in a central and secure place. iOS 16 allows you to manage, understand, and track your medications, invite loved ones to Health Sharing, and see your sleep stages.
The Health app on iPhone puts important health information at your fingertips like your health records, medications, activity, sleep, and more.
It collects health and activity-related data from your iPhone, the built-in sensors on your Apple Watch, compatible third-party devices, and apps that use HealthKit.
The Health app is built to keep your data secure and protect your privacy. Your data is encrypted and you are always in control of your health information.
A change in the way
you see your health.
The more informed you are, the more empowered you can be. That’s why the Health app helps you make sense of your data. So you can view your activity, manage your medications, better understand your sleep, and work with your healthcare providers to make the choices that are best for you.
A great view of you.
Highlights uses on-device machine learning to serve up what matters most to you, like your steps, sleep, or vitals.
Stay on top of your trends.
Advanced trend analysis lets you see how health metrics like blood glucose, heart rate, and respiratory rate change over time. And you can get notifications when new trends are detected.
More apps. More information.
The Health app can incorporate data from tens of thousands of third-party apps that are designed to promote healthier habits — everything from nutrition to meditation to fitness.
Medications made easier.
Create a list of your medications so that you can easily manage and track them. When you add a medication, you can create a custom visual, so it’s easy to remember.
Forget about forgetting.
Be reminded to log medications, vitamins, and supplements on your iPhone or on your wrist with Apple Watch. And securely share your medication information with loved ones.
Managing your sleep is a dream.
Prioritize your sleep by managing your sleep schedule, creating a bedtime routine, and seeing how often you’re meeting your sleep goals.
See your sleep metrics.
Apple Watch tracks sleep metrics like blood oxygen levels, heart rate, time asleep, and sleeping respiratory rate.1 iOS 16 lets you see your heart rate and sleeping respiratory rate alongside your time asleep with comparison charts in the Health app.
Get insights into sleep stages.
Using the sensors in Apple Watch, you can get deeper insights into how much time you spend in three sleep stages: REM, Core, and Deep.
Big steps in mobility.
Apple Watch and iPhone give insights into your mobility metrics. You can even get alerts if your walking steadiness is low or very low and gain insights into your risk of falling.
Stay in sync with your cycle.
Cycle Tracking lets you log your period, record symptoms like cramps, and track cycle factors like lactation. It can also help predict when your next period or fertile window will begin. And you can receive a notification if your logged cycle history shows a possible cycle deviation, like irregular or infrequent periods.2
Caring is sharing.
Having a second set of eyes on your health data can give you peace of mind. With enhanced sharing features, the Health app lets you do just that by offering powerful ways to stay connected to your loved ones and provide useful information to healthcare providers.
Share with the people closest to you.
Health lets you share any information stored in the app. With iOS 16, you’ll be able to invite your loved ones to share their information with you.
You’re in charge of you.
When you share your information, you have complete control over what you share and the people and institutions you share with. And you can make changes at any time.
Knowledge is healthy.
You can receive important notifications about your loved ones’ health and view things like their activity, mobility data, heart rate data, and trends in the Sharing tab.
Be the leading
expert on you.
Your body is a complex system. The Health app makes understanding it a bit simpler by helping you access test results and immunization records — and sort through them with ease.
Immunization records and test results.
Institutions will be able to issue verifiable lab results and immunization records, including COVID-19 test results and vaccinations, that can be downloaded and stored in the Health app.
Your Medical ID. Always with you.
Create an emergency Medical ID card that allows first responders to access your critical medical information from the Lock Screen.
Designed for privacy
and security.
As we introduce and expand ways to share your health data, privacy continues to be at the core. All of our health features are built to keep your data secure and protect your privacy. Your health data is encrypted — both in transit and at rest — when your phone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. And you are always in control.
Your health data is safe.
The Health app lets you keep all your health information securely in one place on your device.
You are in control.
You decide which information is in the Health app, which apps can access your data, and who you share your data with.
