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. Get helpful new insights in mental and vision health, coming soon. And starting this fall, see it all on both iPhone and iPad.
The Health app 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 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 closer look at your
physical and mental health.
The more informed you are, the more empowered you are to take action. That’s why the Health app helps you make sense of your data.
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.
A great view of you.
Interactive charts let you view your health data over time and dive in for a deeper look. For example, you can review your exercise activity for a day, week, or month or see your heart rate during a specific workout.
Stay on top of your trends.
Advanced trend analysis lets you see how health metrics like heart rate, blood glucose, and respiratory rate change over time. And you can get notifications when new trends are detected.
Coming soon
Your mental health. Top of mind.
Your mental health is as important as your physical health, and even contributes to it. Now you can reflect on your state of mind to help build emotional awareness and resilience.
Your mental health. Top of mind.
Scroll through engaging visuals on your Apple Watch 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 mindful minutes.
Coming soon
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 and articles.
Medications made easier.
You can receive reminders to log medications, vitamins, and supplements on your Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad. You can view charts and highlights in the Health app on iPhone or iPad and see more detailed information about when and how consistently you take your medications.
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 see suggestions.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 your medications.

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.
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 sleep metrics.
Apple Watch tracks sleep metrics like blood oxygen levels, 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 over time.
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.
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 each stage.
Coming soon
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. Starting this fall, Apple Watch can measure time spent in daylight using the ambient light sensor.4 With Family Setup, time in daylight can be measured from a child’s Apple Watch even if they don’t have an iPhone, and with Health Sharing, parents will be able to keep track of it.
Coming soon
A closer look at Screen Distance.
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 TrueDepth camera that powers Face ID on iPad and iPhone, the new Screen Distance feature5 in Screen Time can encourage your child to move the device further away.
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 new ways to stay connected to your loved ones and provide useful information to their care team.
Share with the people closest to you.
Health lets you share any information stored in the app. You can invite your loved ones to share their information with you.
Share with the people closest to you.
Send an invitation from the Sharing tab and the recipient can easily choose which data you can see, and start sharing. To ensure that people have full transparency and control, they will periodically get reminders that they are sharing health data. These reminders give them the opportunity to review what they’re sharing, see who they’re sharing it with, and possibly choose to stop sharing.
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.
Knowledge is healthy.
You’ll get notifications for any significant changes that are identified in shared data categories, such as a steep decline in activity, as well as gradual trends like an improvement in blood pressure. You can also receive the same alerts as a loved one, such as heart rate and irregular rhythm notifications.
Make the most of your time with your care team.
Sharing data from the Health app can lead to richer, better-informed conversations with your care team. And to facilitate discussions, you can share PDFs of your health data, like an ECG waveform, medications list, cycle tracking history, mental health assessments (coming soon), or available health records.
Make the most of your time with your care team.
If you’re concerned about a particular area of your health, you can share data from that category along with information from your everyday life, like your activity and heart data. You can also review your medications, blood glucose, walking steadiness, cardio fitness, and other mobility metrics with providers.
Be the leading
expert on you.
Your body is a complex system. The Health app helps make understanding it a bit simpler. With it you can organize and access a vast array of health records, including allergies, labs, and immunizations — and sort through it all with ease.
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 you’re at an increased risk of falling.
Big steps in mobility.
You can view mobility metrics like cardio fitness, walking speed, how fast you climb and descend stairs, and an estimate of your six-minute walk test. You can also get a general assessment of your walking steadiness, classified as OK, low, or very low, just by walking with your iPhone.
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, as well as estimate when you likely ovulated.6
Stay in sync with your cycle.
The Health app creates simple graphical charts so you can quickly review cycle length and variation. It also uses heart rate data from Apple Watch to improve its predictions and wrist temperature data to provide retrospective ovulation estimates. You can receive a notification if your logged cycle history shows a possible cycle deviation, like irregular or infrequent periods. You can also create a PDF of your cycle history to share with your care team for more informed conversations. Just like all of your health information, Cycle Tracking data is encrypted, secure, and private.

AFib History.
If you’ve been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, AFib History on Apple Watch can estimate how frequently your heart is in AFib. And in the Health app you can track lifestyle factors that may influence your condition.7
AFib History.
AFib is a common cardiac arrhythmia that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. AFib History on Apple Watch gives you notifications with an estimate of the percentage of time you spend in AFib. The Health app helps you manage lifestyle factors that may influence time in AFib, like sleep, exercise, and weight. It can help you understand the time of day or week your AFib is most frequent. And you can create a PDF of your AFib History, including lifestyle factors, to share with your care team for richer conversations.
