Highlights 1. Strengthen the protection of users and live a healthier life
Since the launch of the Health app in 2014 and the Apple Watch in 2015, Apple has introduced a series of innovative health and fitness features designed to provide users with easy-to-understand, meaningful insights to help them live healthier lives.
Four pillars of functionality:
- Provide users with a centralized and secure place to store and view health data in the Health app.
- Apple Watch can function as the guardian of the user’s health and wisdom.
- Offers features that help users improve their daily health and fitness habits for better health.
- Drive innovative third-party health and fitness apps with developer tools.
With iOS 16 and watchOS 9 coming this fall, the Apple Watch and iPhone will offer features focused on 17 areas of health and fitness, from heart health and sleep, to activity and women’s health, and more.
Over the years, customers of all ages have shared, in their own way, how these health and fitness features have changed their lives. Some of the people in the report shared their stories, including customers who discovered serious heart disease, received emergency assistance after a fall, or significantly improved their health through daily activities.
Highlight 2. Will cooperate with the medical community
Apple believes that the most powerful health innovations can only be achieved by working directly with the medical community. Four categories of cooperation:
- Building tools to help researchers make new scientific discoveries
- Help strengthen the doctor-patient relationship with meaningful information.
- Collaborate with health organizations to promote healthy lifestyles on a large scale.
- Support public health and government measures.
Highlight 3. Science-based, privacy-centric
All of Apple’s health and fitness features are developed according to two overarching principles:
- Rigorous scientific verification process:Apple’s in-house clinicians are deeply involved in the product development process, working hand-in-hand with engineers and product designers. Combined with collaboration with experts from leading research institutes, this work ensures that products and functions are science-based and user-friendly.
- Privacy-centric:Privacy is a core value at Apple, and data privacy is critical for sensitive health data. Apple’s health and fitness features are centered on user privacy and provide users with protections, including transparency and control.
When an iPhone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, all health and fitness data in the Health app (except Medical Cards) is encrypted, and any health data synced to iCloud is in transit and in Apple Encrypted on the server.
If users have the latest versions of watchOS and iOS, with default two-factor authentication and passcode, their health and activity data will be stored in a way that Apple cannot read. Health app data is never shared with any third party without the user’s explicit permission, and if a user decides to share their health data, the Health app provides users with granular control over what data to share and with whom. Users can view and manage permissions at any time.
Apple watchOS 9 release date watchOS 9 will be available as a free software upgrade this fall, available on Apple Watch Series 4 and later, paired with iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 and iPhone SE (2nd generation) or subsequent models. Some features may not be available in all regions, languages or devices. Features listed may vary.
