The Health app allows users to track various health and fitness metrics such as steps, heart rate, sleep, and nutrition. It collects this data from both internal sensors and connected third-party devices and apps. The app presents this information in an organized dashboard for easy viewing. It also includes features like emergency contact cards, built-in step counting, caffeine tracking, and potential connectivity to healthcare providers to flag abnormal readings. The app is designed to provide users with a comprehensive view of their health data in one central location.

4. Health Data at a Glance
The app’s Dashboard presents your essential data as cards that you
can flip through to view at a glance.
The Health app sorts & organizes your health information (collected
internally or via a supported app/device) across categories including
fitness, nutrition, lab results, medications, sleep, and vitals.
This streamlines your flow of health and fitness data and, most
importantly, helps you to get a sensible data for yourself.

6. Health Emergency Contact Cards
The Medical ID feature allows you to store critical information like
blood type or food allergies—to create an emergency card that’s
accessible from your device’s Lock screen.
First responders will be able to call the emergency contacts listed in
Medical ID.

7. Built-in Step Counter
The Health app can access your device’s motion processor, which
enables the device to measure steps taken all on its own—no fitness
tracker necessary. The Steps section of the app then tallies the
number of steps you take, allowing you to sort by day, week,
month, or year.
Plus, you can view your log in terms of the number of steps taken or
as actual distance travelled, and Steps data can also be shared with
other apps.

8. Tracking for Coffee Lovers
The app’s Nutrition section features a Caffeine tab to help
you track how much you consume from a variety of sources
(coffee, tea, soda, and more).
You’ll have to enter it manually unless you use third-party
apps like UP Coffee from Jawbone, which can help you
understand how caffeine influences your sleep and other
aspects of your life.

9. Patient-Doctor Connectivity
Thanks to a partnership of Apple Inc. with Mayo Clinic, people who
see Mayo doctors are even more connected. The Health app could flag
users if blood pressure or heart rate falls outside of normal levels (third
party apps would have to be synced to measure those).
In that case, a doctor can contact you with follow-up information and
recommendations for treatment.
Apple hopes to bring this functionality to healthcare systems across
the country including Mount Sinai, Johns Hopkins, and Cleveland
Clinic, Reuters reports.

10. Smarter apps that could self-
adjust
Imagine your nutrition app telling your fitness app how
many calories you ate yesterday and adjusting your
workouts for the rest of the week.
Health Kit lets the app draw data from multiple sources and
compile it in one central location, while allowing all your
other health and fitness apps to work together.
Fitness app developers are sure to release updated versions
that are compatible with the new operating system, Yahoo
Tech reports.

11. Possible Lung Function Tracking
The Health app also supports tracking for
Spirometry - measure of how much air you inhale & exhale.
And the rate at which you breathe (key for asthma & related
disease people).
Your device can’t track breathing on its own, but this feature
may enable doctors to use more sophisticated medical tools
to track respiratory health and diagnose lung conditions.
