Health is an application announced by Apple Inc. at their Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2014. It is included with iOS 8 or later.
The application is intended to be a personal and central data collection point, for connected third-party electronic accessories and wearable technology, that can directly monitor and analyse an individual's biochemistry and physiology for medical and general fitness purposes.
It displays a dashboard of all the fitness and health data of the user, including the heart rate, calories burned, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and other similar functions. Users can also use the Health app to create a Medical ID, an emergency card with important medical details and emergency details. The Medical ID is accessible from within the Health app or from the lock screen
As of March 21, 2016, Apple enhanced this software with various improvements that include a facility to discover other compatible applications on Apple's app store. For example, for blood pressure this includes Health Mate, Qardio Heart health, Web MD, and Pacer. To discover and access these applications place the main function from Apples health app on the dashboard, tap it, and page up.
Although the application is available in iOS 8 and later, it is currently only available on iPhone and iPod Touch, but not on iPad.
iOS 10 users residing in the United States will be able to sign up to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor in the Apple Health app. All registrations submitted through the Health app will be sent directly to the National Donate Life Registry, which is operated by Donate Life America.
