The Healthapp puts important information at your fingertips, including your health records, medications, labs, activity, and sleep. It also makes it simple to securely share that information.
It collects health and fitness data from your iPhone, iPad, the built-in sensors on your AppleWatch, compatible third-party devices, and apps that useHealthKit.
The Healthapp is built to keep your data secure and protect your privacy. Your data is encrypted and you are always in control of your healthinformation.

physical and mental health.
The more informed you are, the more empowered you are to take action. That’s why the Healthapp helps you make sense of yourdata.
A great view of you.
Highlights uses on-device machine learning to serve up what matters most to you, like your steps, sleep, orvitals.

Scroll through engaging visuals on your AppleWatch or iPhone to help you select how you’re feeling to log your momentary emotions and daily moods. You can learn how your state of mind may correlate with lifestyle factors like time spent in daylight, sleep, exercise, and mindfulminutes.
Access to assessments and resources.
Take standardized mental health assessments often used by clinicians to answer a set of questions about how you’re feeling, then see your current risk for depression or anxiety. This will help you understand if you should talk to your doctor, and you’ll have a PDF of the results that you can share. You’ll also get access to crisis resources andarticles.
Medications made easier.
You can receive reminders to log medications, vitamins, and supplements on your AppleWatch, iPhone, and iPad. You can view charts and highlights in the Healthapp on iPhone or iPad and see more detailed information about when and how consistently you take yourmedications.
Medications made easier.
Health can give you information on medications you’re taking, like what they’re used for, how they work, potential side effects, and drug interactions.1 Just point your iPhone camera at the medication label to add it to the Health app or start typing a name to seesuggestions.2
You can receive an alert if there is a critical interaction that can make a medication less effective or cause unexpected and potentially dangerous side effects. You can also learn if there could be side effects from consuming alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis with yourmedications.
Managing your sleep is a dream.

Managing your sleep is a dream.
When you set up a Sleep Focus in the Health app, you can create a custom Home Screen that includes your favorite apps and shortcuts to help you get ready for bed.
See your sleepmetrics.
AppleWatch tracks sleep metrics like heart rate, time asleep, wrist temperature, and sleeping respiratory rate.3 And with interactive charts in the Health app, you can compare your heart rate, sleeping respiratory rate, and more overtime.
Get insights into sleep stages.
Using the sensors in AppleWatch, you can get deeper insights into how much time you spend in three sleep stages: REM, Core, andDeep.
Get insights into sleep stages.
Each sleep stage performs an essential function. REM sleep is where you experience dreaming, and studies show it may play a key role in memory. During the Core phase, your muscle activity decreases and your body temperature drops. It also represents the majority of your time asleep. And Deep sleep has a restorative effect on the body. You’ll see your data on your watch in the Sleep app, including the amount of time you spent in eachstage.
Shedding light on nearsightedness.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, typically starts in childhood and is on the rise. But one way you can help reduce the risk is by having your child spend at least 80 to 120 minutes outdoors in daylight each day. AppleWatch can measure time spent in daylight using the ambient light sensor.4 With FamilySetup, time in daylight can be measured from a child’s AppleWatch even if they don’t have an iPhone, and with Health Sharing, parents will be able to keep track of it.
A closer look at ScreenDistance.
Viewing something like a device or book too closely for an extended period of time can also increase the risk of myopia. Using the same TrueDepthcamera that powers FaceID on iPad and iPhone, the new ScreenDistance feature5 in ScreenTime can encourage your child to move the device furtheraway.
Caring is sharing.
