Just a quick one, I watch your vids every time, a quick word about the Fall Detection feature , please enable, last week I was struck by a bus, 8 broken ribs and a gaping whole in the rear of my skull. The fall detection feature triggered 10 seconds after bus hit me and knocked me unconscious, my watch called emergency services and let don’t wife and daughter know I had an incident. I believe this saved my life due to emergency services being there in 3 minutes. Thanks you for videos they are invaluable but I must point this out in a real time benefit.
I’m glad you’re still with us! And I appreciate the advice you’ve shared. Stay well!
I’m glad you shared this story. Stay blessed with a healthy life
Stay safe and wish you a speedy recovery! Thank u for sharing
@@homepc-carlisle I hope you’re doing well! …sending you healing vibes 🙌🏻

Excellent video. As a 69 yr old retiree with some cardiac history, I've been using Health app for a few years now. My cardiologist recommended it when he noticed I wore an Apple Watch. I use it mostly for tracking my medications, as well as activity and sleep, which come from the watch. I also check in occasionally in the Heart section. My advice to anyone just starting, especially if older, is to go slowly. Don't add more than one section at a time. Get used to one thing for a week or two before adding another to your routine.
I use the Health app on my iPhone for a number of things. I have to monitor my blood oxygen and blood pressure. I also use the ECG option regularly also. I was a participant in a AFIB research group of which I received a free Apple watch. The catch was I had to give them access to the health app and commit to 2 years. For those of us that are of a certain age, this app is great. Thank you for this helpful video. It was concise and informative. ❤
I went Into Afib about 9 months ago. My Apple Watch Ultra told me so. I felt like I was having a heart attack without the pressure on my chest. So the wife called 911. The EMT said my Apple Watch was probably wrong. Well he was wrong and said wow my heart rate was over 200. And I wasn’t doing anything at the time. So I was rushed to the hospital. Spent two days and now on blood thinners. But yes I always wear my Apple Watch and will be updating to the new one this year. Thank you for the video very informative.
I use the Health app for sleep, medication, body measurements and activity. I find it very useful and easy to use. I appreciate you doing a in depth explanation of all the attributes of this app. You shared info that was very helpful in explaining the parts I do not use.
For me, this was the MOST informative video that you have produced this year. I had no idea of the detail and extensive functionality of the health app. Thank you very much for all of the "drilll-down" detail. I do actually use and like the handwashing feature and miss it while washing my hands when my watch is charging. I also use the fall detection, though I will admit there have been a few times when the watch thought I had fallen, when I had just moved my fist and wrist very rapidly. Looking forward to your next video! Cheers
The critical alert set for my medications has saved me a couple of times from going out without taking my medications. As you get older it is an excellent tool to use.
I use the health app for tracking sleep and medications. I did not know about the symptoms tracking. I'm going to start using that one for sure. Thanks.
Hey Tom, this is the only video that I came across that covered the Apple iPhone's health app in this detail. Thanks for highlighting a few things like ECG and Symptons that one normally doesn't bother about. 🙂
Hi Tom, as always a fantastic video. I use the Health app a lot to log meds, sleep data, blood glucose levels etc and I love how easy it is to use. I love the syncing between the Watch/iPhone and iPad. Thank you I found this video incredibly useful to learn more tips.
I've been using the Health app for a few years to track my activity. I bought an Apple Watch a few years ago to track heart rate and oxygenation. Fall detection is, for me, hit or miss. It's caught the times I've fallen or been knocked over, but it's also triggered spuriously, including once when I was breaking down cardboard boxes to go into the recycle bin.
I was unaware of symptom tracking, which sounds like a feature I should start making use of. I usually only see my doctor for my yearly checkup, but having a "place" in the app to save that info is more convenient than keeping notes elsewhere.
I use the app everyday. You can’t manage what you can’t monitor. Definitely my favourite app. 😀
Medication also puts up a reminder on your lock screen and you can log as taken from there as well - great video!
Thank you for your excellent video and I will start to work on my health app on my IPhone!
With me having diabetes type two, I now swim three times a week and that is just one of the things that I use the Health app for.
It’s very handy
Very useful, must say this was one app I mostly left alone! More conscious of it and what out can do now.
I’ve been using the Health app since I’ve been using an iPhone and there were still a bunch of things in this video I did not know about. Very informative, thank you.
Love your sound. Very clear with little background noise. Well done
Thank you, I appreciate that people appreciate it!
Love this video as it may be the first I've seen where someone goes into the functionality in real detail. IMO Apple could be doing more with the Meds functionality in particular.
It was a life saver for me last year when I was dealing with health issues and developed health anxiety.
Apple is great.
Interesting video thanks, I have recently got myself a new phone and watch so just started using this more than I did having previously used it to remind me to take meds only. Hopefully Im getting a lot more use from this and the new devices.
Thank you. Great explanation. I have a Garmin Venu watch and much of the data tranfered. I shall give the health app a try now.
Many thanks recovering slowly but surely
I was already using it and I find it pretty useful to keep an eye on my exercise. I also do a bit of VR exercise on the quest 3 and at the last release you could enable syncing data with it if you were using an exercise app. But I found that it double recorded stuff even logging when I was playing a board game and not actually exercising . I don’t know which end is wrong. I suspect the Quest 3. I’ve turned it off for now.
When I first started using the Health app. I had a hard time getting the VO2 Max reading to work (Browse, Heart, Cardio Fitness). It turned out the first time you had to initiate it by turning off Bluetooth, register an outside walk, return, and reconnect BT. After that it worked fine every time. But when I got a new iPhone 15 Pro last fall it no longer worked despite loading all settings phone to phone. Trying the first time use trick didn’t work either. I’d love to know to make it work again on the new phone.
I actually use the health app so much I even only download other health apps that sync with it. I’m obsessed with technology.
I use the app every day and I find it very useful
Terrific video - I thought I was using the app but have found lots of useful features which I will add to my routine
Thank goodness we will be able to rearrange the summary with ios18.
The health app for medications is awesome
Very true. I once used reminders to prompt me to take medications, but that seemed to get confused occasionally and didn't have the option of skipping the medication for one day and noting it.
I agree and in the Apple eco system meds taken recorded on various devices from watch to Mac is really useful
plan to use it more!!
I this was very informative . wear my apple watch every day and trends are not available. Apple support says to track at least 180 days - and I have way more than that. Anyone have any suggestions?
Always Informative videos 👍
Fall detection is too sensitive for DIYers - mine misinterpreted use of hammer! It is excellent for detection of atrial fibrillation
I came here to say exactly that!
Love the video! I would my fear is taking that first step in learning how to workout, and lift weights. Ok, here I go! I wont trust the first mile.
Greetings and thanks for this. This is perhaps kind of of off topic, but could you recommend a round shaped watch that fits in reasonably well with the Apple ecosystem, including the Health app. The Apple Watch is a beast and I have an old one, but for me (personal preference, of course) watches just need to be round 😊
Very good information, thank you.
15:57 Thank you - very helpful. One irritation from me is the medication section of this app is not IMHO up to the quality expected from Apple. I can't rely on it for meds due to the extremely poor reminder sound and the critical reminder that only sounds once - and that's proven unhelpful for my particular need. Also I've not been able to log meds from my watch despite the tap feature that appears. Loved the video though🎉
Hi there , I see on your presentation you have a Blood Pressure app. Where can I get that ? I always enjoy your TH-cam videos. Thank you ☺️
Very helpful, thankyou
Thank you for such an informative video!
I really like this channel. Been a subscriber for a while. Love the in depth Apple app stuff.
I use a shortcut to log my blood pressure and weight via Hay Seri without logging 24:58
Just moved to iPhone from Samsung. The thing Samsung health does much better is indicate what your data tells you. Eg a sleep score or cadence when running it tells you an ideal range.
Thanks
Thank you!
Great tutorial on how to use the app. Can you do a follow up video sometime about use cases for the app? In other words, what can the app do for me with all my data? Can it give suggestions for what I should/shouldn’t do with regard to my health? It’s nice to look at my data, but it would be better to have recommendations from the app with my data. Hope this makes sense. Thanks
The app can't do that right now. It's been long-rumoured that this will become part of the Apple Intelligence rollout, where AI will use the data to make those kind of suggestions to you. Time will tell.
If you wear corrective lenses, you can store your vision prescription in the Body Measurements section of the Health app. You can also store a copy of the paper prescription and hand-enter the various measurements listed. This is handy should you need optical inserts for an Apple Vision Pro. You reference this data when ordering the inserts.
If you have an AVP and optical inserts, a QR code is provided with the inserts, which you use to supply the information concerning the inserts' specs to the AVP. That information, including the QR code, is also stored in this section of the Health app. This comes in handy if you need to recalibrate your AVP; when setting up the vision calibration, you can look at the QR code on your phone rather than dig out the card that came with the inserts.
I wear contact lenses and always forget which one number is for my right eye and which is for my left eye. I used to go through my files to find my receipt for my eye exam and that took a while to find. But once I put the info in the health app it has saved me so much time every time I change out my contacts
Can we input water intake? When adding medication, can we add the actual brand name of the med or supplement? Would turning on fall detection be beneficial if starting to train in boxing or martial arts like Brazilian jiu-jitsu (where you’re constantly on the ground)? Excellent video!
@@vidform You can input water! You can find it under the Nutrition section. I prefer to keep up with that as well. Also, you can add brand names and even take a photo of the medication you’re using to find it faster. As for your last question, I don’t have any experience with those two sports, but it may be helpful to turn off Fall Detection in your case.
Good video. Thanks for showing me some new things I hadn’t seen before.
Would like to learn more about how Apple decides your “exercise” minutes.
It would be great if you could purge old data easily.
An interesting video.
I noticed your screen and some comments below mention "Blood Pressure" I did not think the apple watch could do blood prerssure. How is this data collected?
It has to be input manually unless you have a smart cuff.
@@CarlosBenjamin Thanks for the confirmation
i still can't seem to remove my Calm app from this even though I've deleted the app. any ideas?
Very nice
The best is time in daylight since working from home.
I don’t have Apple Watch is health app usefull without it
I like the app for the most part. The only thing that drives me cuckoo banana, is that because I Freedive and I can’t wear my Apple Watch in the water (Ok, I know the Ultra technically can be used at depth, but it’s a terrible Freedive computer), my watch keeps thinking I don’t do a lot of exercise, so I often get condescending remarks from my watch like, “you’ve got this, just a 15 minute brisk….”
I get that it’s not an easy thing to solve though, just venting that my watch thinks I’m lazy. 😅
Thanks for this video some great insights I didn't know about and will be using from now on!
Fall activation doesn't work when you fall. I have fallen off my bike and no alert. I was knocking on the door and it alerted me 🤷🏻♂️
I received the fall alert when I clapped my hands vigorously one time. At 75 by God’s grace I have not fallen. 😊
It worked for me, several times!!! Hard fall on my hip
For seniors, this can be lifesaving!
@@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654 Same here. Neither time was a bad fall fortunately.
Most flight instructors joke it’s a sensor for bad student landings. Lol
I had a pretty hard fall off my bike and it asked if I was OK. Had I not answered positively it would have called EMS and my designated contacts. I’ve had alerts for things that weren’t falls, but so far it has worked 100% for actual falls.
You didn't mention cycle tracking, which I'm sure won't have gone unnoticed by women. You're an admittedly exhausted dad of twins, but I would have thought you'd be right on to health topics such as menstruation and pregnancy.
I also didn’t show hearing, heart, mobility, respiratory… the video is long, I had to draw a line somewhere. I tried to cover more generic things that the wider audience would be interested in, whilst showing people where to go for the specific info they need (cycle tracking was shown here). My intention was to include all, rather than exclude anyone, despite what your comment might suggest.
You’ve lost me after about 4 minutes of the video. I’ll give you a “Like” for your effort 😅
With all the data that the Health app manages I’m quite surprised there’s nothing related to stools. At the very least I’d expect to be able to log stool movements although I expect a representation of the Bristol Stool Scale en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale would be a bit over the top. Regularity of stool movements is a good indicator of bowel health.
Great video! The best new feature, IMO, will be the pause function. Long overdue!
