Your health data.
In your control.
The Health app was created to help organise 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.
Health puts important information at your fingertips, including your health records, medications, activity and sleep. And makes it simple to securely share that information.
It collects health and fitness 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 about your health, the more empowered you are to take action. The Health app helps you make sense of your health data. So you can see everything from how active you are to how much sleep you’re getting, and do what’s 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.
Prioritise 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 you’re at an increased 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
AF History.
If you’ve been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, AF History on Apple Watch can estimate how frequently your heart is in AF. And in the Health app you can track lifestyle factors that may influence your condition.3
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.
Share with the people closest to you.
Health lets you share any information stored in the app. With iOS 16, you can 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 helps make understanding it a bit simpler. With it you can organise and access a vast array of health records, including allergies and immunisations — and sort through it all with ease.
Immunisation records and test results.
Institutions can issue verifiable lab results and immunisation 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 our health features are built to keep your data secure and protect your privacy. Your health data stays on your device and is encrypted when your phone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.
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.
