Developer Rahul Matta, creator of Tempo for iPhone and Apple Watch is out with a slick new iPhone app that offers a look at the grand total of all-time Apple Watch Activity stats. Dec 31, 2018  The app is a super easy to use Apple Watch ap. Simply pop in the meals you've eaten throughout the day and it will work out the calories against your daily target, calculated from your weight goal. Jan 11, 2018  Hi. Apple does not offer a companion Activity or Health app for computers or an online dashboard for Activity, Health or Workout data. Health data can be exported from the Health app on your iPhone in the form of XML files, but these are perhaps most useful when importing and exporting data between apps (a health record received as an XML file can be imported into the Health app, for example).

How to add data to the Health app

The Health app automatically counts your steps, walking, and running distances. And, if you have an Apple Watch, it automatically tracks all of your Activity data. If you're already using another app to track your health, you can try adding data from the app to Health, so all your information is in one place.

Enter information about your health

1. Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
2. Tap a category, like Activity.
3. Tap a subcategory, like Steps.
4. Tap Add Data in the upper-right corner.
5. Enter the date, time, and data for that activity.
6. When you're finished, tap Add.

Add information from other apps

1. Open the Health app.
2. Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner .
3. Under Privacy, tap Apps. You can see apps that you already own that are compatible with Health. If you don't see an app, it might not be compatible.
4. Tap an app and turn on the health categories that you want that app to track.

You might also need to open the app and adjust its settings to allow it to share data with Health.

Find apps that are compatible with Health

1. Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
2. Tap a category, like Sleep.
3. Tap a subcategory, like Sleep Analysis.
4. Scroll down to the apps recommended for that category, then tap an app to learn about and download it.
5. Go back to your privacy settings in the Health app to allow that app to read or write data in the Health app.

You decide what information goes into the Health app and which apps can get your information from Health. Apps that access HealthKit must have a privacy policy. Review an app's privacy policy before allowing access to your health and fitness information.

Add information from your Apple Watch

• To view your goals and your move, exercise, and stand data, open the Health app, tap the Browse tab, then tap Activity.
  
• To see your heart rate data, open the Health app, tap the Browse tab, then tap Heart. Learn more about accuracy and limitations of the heart rate sensor.
• To see data from the Breathe app, open the Health app, tap the Browse tab, then tap Mindfulness. Learn about the Breathe app.
• Other Apple Watch apps can also read and write Health data. You can manage them directly on your Apple Watch: Go to Settings > Health > Apps.

If Health doesn’t track steps or other information, try these steps:

1. Open the Health app.
2. Tap your profile , then tap Devices.
3. Tap your Apple Watch.
4. Tap Privacy Settings and make sure that Fitness Tracking is turned on.

How Health handles data from multiple sources

The Health app takes similar data from different sources, like steps recorded from your iPhone and activity from your Apple Watch, and organizes it based on where it comes from. By default, Health prioritizes data in this order:

1. Health data that you enter manually.
2. Data from your iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.
3. Data from apps and Bluetooth devices.

When you add a new data source, it appears above all other apps and devices that contribute data in Health. You can change the order of sources at any time.

View your data sources

Here's how to see which devices and apps update specific health categories:

1. Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
2. Tap a category, like Activity. If you don't see the category, swipe down to reveal the search bar, then enter a category.
3. Tap a subcategory, like Steps.
4. Scroll down, then tap Data Sources & Access. Only the sources that contribute to that data type will appear.

Here's how to see all of your sources for the Health app:

1. Open the Health app.
2. Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner .
3. Scroll down to Privacy, then tap Apps or Devices.

Prioritize data sources

Here's how to choose the sources that Health uses first:

1. Open the Health app, then tap the Browse tab.
2. Tap a category, then tap a subcategory.
3. Scroll down, then tap Data Sources & Access.
4. Tap Edit.
5. Touch and hold the Change Order button next to a data source, then drag it up or down in the list.
6. To turn off a data source so that it doesn't contribute any more data for that category, tap the checkmark next to the source.
7. Tap Done.

If multiple sources contribute the same data type, then the data source at the top will take priority over other sources. Any new apps or devices that you add go to the top of the list automatically, above your iPhone or iPod touch.

Back up your Health data

Health information is stored in iCloud and gets encrypted as it goes between iCloud and your device, and while it's stored in iCloud. End-to-end encryption requires iOS 12 and two-factor authentication. To stop storing your Health data in iCloud, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn off Health.

If you aren't using iCloud, you can back up your information in Health by encrypting your iTunes backup.

The information that you create or gather about yourself is under your control, and it's encrypted with your passcode when you lock your iPhone.

Helping your patients identify early warning signs.

Apple Watch has powerful apps that make it the ultimate device for a healthy life. Now with new notifications and the ECG app, it can provide you and your patients with important information concerning their heart health.

Heart rate notifications.

Apple Watch checks for unusually high or low heart rates in the background, which could be signs of a serious underlying condition. This could help you and your patients identify situations which may warrant further evaluation.

If a patient’s heart rate is above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm while they appear to have been inactive for 10 minutes, the user will receive a notification. Patients can adjust the threshold bpm or turn these notifications on or off. All heart rate notifications — along with date, time, and heart rate — can be viewed in the Health app on iPhone.

Irregular rhythm notifications.

The irregular rhythm notification occasionally checks for signs of irregular rhythms that may be suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib). This feature won’t detect all instances of AFib but may catch something that can provide your patients with an early indication that further evaluation may be warranted.

Irregular rhythm notifications use the optical heart sensor to detect the pulse wave at the wrist and look for variability in beat‑to‑beat intervals when the user is at rest. If the algorithm repeatedly detects an irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib, your patient will receive a notification and the date, time, and beat‑to‑beat heart rate will be recorded in the Health app.

The irregular rhythm notification feature has been granted De Novo classification by the FDA for users 22 years and older in the U.S. with no prior history of AFib.

Validation of irregular rhythm notification feature.

In 2017 and 2018, researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine worked with Apple to conduct the Apple Heart Study on the detection of atrial fibrillation, a heartbeat irregularity that is a leading cause of stroke and hospitalization. Over 400,000 Apple Watch users participated and helped validate the ability of wearable technology to aid in the early detection of this condition, which often goes undiagnosed. And the study led to the availability of the irregular rhythm notification that is now on Apple Watch.

ECG app.

With the ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 or later, patients who experience symptoms such as rapid or skipped heartbeat, or receive the irregular rhythm notification, can capture an ECG and record their symptoms. This real world data can enable you to make more informed and timely decisions regarding further evaluation and care.

The ECG app uses the electrical heart sensor built into the Digital Crown and the back crystal of Apple Watch Series 4 or later to record a single lead ECG similar to a Lead I ECG. The ECG app then provides a result of sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, or inconclusive, and prompts the user to enter any symptoms such as rapid or pounding heartbeat, dizziness, or fatigue. The waveform, results, date, time, and any symptoms are recorded and can be exported from the Health app as a PDF to share with a clinician. If the patient notes symptoms that indicate a serious condition, they are prompted to immediately call emergency services.

The ECG app has been granted De Novo classification by the FDA for users 22 years and older in the U.S.

How the ECG app works.

The ECG app waveform is similar to a Lead I ECG, which can enable classification of atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm, but cannot identify other conditions, like heart attacks.

After taking an ECG reading, the ECG app will check for sinus rhythm or AFib. If the heart rate is under 50 bpm or over 120 bpm, the app is unable to check for AFib, but will note the heart rate and save the ECG recording. The ECG app may provide an inconclusive result if, for example, there is poor signal due to motion artifacts or poor electrode contact, the heart rate is between 100 and 120 bpm, or for other reasons such as presence of arrhythmias other than AFib, presence of an ICD or pacemaker, or poor electrical signal in the recording which can occur as a result of right axis deviation.

In a clinical study, the rhythm classification by the ECG app of a single lead ECG on Apple Watch was compared to the rhythm classification by a cardiologist of a simultaneously collected 12-lead ECG. The ECG app demonstrated 99.6% specificity in classifying sinus rhythm and 98.3% sensitivity in classifying AFib for the classifiable results. In this study, 12.2% of recordings were not classifiable.

Fall Detection.

When a hard fall is detected with Apple Watch Series 4 or later, an alert appears and allows the user to easily call emergency services or dismiss the alert. If the user is unresponsive for about a minute, an emergency call will be placed automatically and a message will be sent to the user’s emergency contacts. All falls detected are recorded in the Health app. This feature is automatically enabled for users 55 years and older and can be turned on for anyone in the Apple Watch app on iPhone.

Apple Health App Free

Medical ID.

Medical ID allows first responders and emergency room clinicians to access critical medical information from a patient’s iPhone lock screen or Apple Watch without requiring a passcode, and without compromising patient privacy. Patients can list important information such as allergies, medications, conditions, organ donor preferences, and emergency contacts by setting up Medical ID in the Health app on iPhone.

Health Records on iPhone.

The Health app on iPhone makes it easier than ever for your patients to visualize and securely store their health records from multiple institutions alongside their patient-generated data, creating a more holistic view of their health. So next time you have a question about your patient’s medications or past medical history, ask if your patient is aggregating health records in the Health app.

Designed with security and privacy in mind.

When a user’s iPhone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, their health data in the Health app is encrypted on‑device. If a user chooses to sync their health data with iCloud, it is encrypted while in transit and at rest.
